Good night... While Ward is certainly a fine QB, I had no idea how soft our secondary us.

On our last two offensive series, our O line has just dominated WSU.

Lol... fine then.

I'm just not quite ready to start blaming the refs yet.

Exactly. So isn't that a great call.

So far this game is reminding me way too much of the Stanford game where we basically spotted them the first 20 minutes of the game.

That tipped pass call behind the line was a great call.

And that was about as close to being blocked as it gets.

Agreed. But I'm also going to give the best college QB in the nation the benefit of the doubt.

I feel for Cam as he apparently has got some tough voices in his head to overcome. And I especially feel for our team.

Well... I can now say that I wish we'd have gone for it on that lost 4th down. I feel for Cam as he apparently has got some tough voices in his head to overcome. And I especially feel for our team.

Yeah... that seems like a really strange one. Chance to put you team up by 7 at home going into the 4th Q. Seems like there are a lot of coaches out the releasing their inner Brandon Staley.

Penix was a beast... injured and hurting and he performed like a total stud. As did Bo. Bo was, once again, his amazing self. And both guys seem like fine young men too.

Yes, this young man is just a total stud of a QB, and more importantly, as a human being.

Exactly. Win out, and we could get in. And I say this as a guy who is often a glass-half-empty person. So I'm really doing my best Coach Lasso imitation here.

If Coach Lanning and Brandon Staley are not long lost brothers, after what we saw today, I'd almost be shocked. Okay... I'm not exactly serious, but I wouldn't mind seeing a blood test. (sorry, but I find laughter is often the best medicine to conceal my abject pain, plus the cold beer I'm about to grab)

LOL... Stop... you're killin' here. Seriously, I'm laughing so hard I've got tears in my eyes. I remember that Maldonado shank and that one hurt like hell too. I used to say for years that being a Duck football & basketball fan is a lot like being a Cubs fan. But I'm not so sure anymore, as we may have it worse. They at least finally won the World Series.

LOL... Thank you for making me laugh and for your kind response. And we need to have those beers I referenced sometime when I'm up in Eugene.

Charles - With all due respect, I would think that if you are going to publicly isolate one person to call out on the carpet, that it might be Coach Lanning -- who it seemed on multiple occasions was trying awfully hard to do his best Brandon Staley imitation. And yes, Cam pulled it right and it probably was all mental. Cam looked healthy, there was no wind, conditions appeared to be dry, the snap & hold were excellent. And he pulled it right. Crap happens. Sorry, but to publicly call him another Maldenado, is a bit over the top for me. If this conversation was you and me over a couple of beers, then fine. But this is a thread that I would not mind seeing deleted.

I certainly did not see lethargic play by this team today. With all due respect, regarding that part of your comment, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Thank you for the rational voice. There were so many places on the field where we lost that game. It always seems to be the last play that most remember though. But they still played one helluva an exciting game though... even though they about gave heart failure a couple of times.

We're Ducks so we're used to being led to the water, but not getting to drink. What a disappointment. Quite a game though.

Unfortunately, Lanning gambled about 3x too many today. What a shame.
