Desert Duck

Lanning made the right call.

I had Oregon winning 36-6. So, not bad. Jk. I had them 38-30.

Our defense was just freakishly amazing out there today. Wow.

Best the Ducks have looked in years against a damn good opponent at a tough place to play.

Charles - You're spot on... if the goal is to punch our ticket and get into the playoffs, then every remaining game is a single elimination game. If, however, we're good with the likes of the Liberty, Sun, Alamo, or the Poulan Weed Eater Bowl... well then, that's a different story. If on Saturday Oregon plays like they are more than capable of doing, they win a tough slugfest by something like 38-30.

Frankly, I'd say the likelihood of Williams bailing out on the season is about 0%. But what I like about this story, and the ones talking about Riley potentially dumping USC for an NFL job, it that it all further underscores the craphole program, and disarray, known as USC football. They are also getting eaten alive by much of the So Cal media. All on the eve of their 'triumphant' move to the B1G. Admittedly, perhaps I am taking to much pleasure from this. But, IMHO, it couldn't be happening to a more deserving, and arrogant, program.

Not sure if this has already been covered, but there actually is talk going on that now that USC's season is officially in the el-crapper, should Williams just call it a season and sit out the rest of the year. The thing I absolutely love about this discussion, regardless of the outcome, is how it completely encapsulates and underscores how the wheels have totally blown off the USC season --- right in time for them to enter the B1G. How sweet it is. MSN WWW.MSN.COM

Plus, we're finally coming into the best weather in the nation down here. Can't wait for the ASU game in Tempe in a few weeks.

Absolutely perfect. LOL

Bucky - 180 total yards

100% agree. Maybe Stein bet against the spread. 😉

293 yards passing. 251 yards rushing. The Oregon offensive balance is just exceptional.

5 sacks on Ward, who obviously has a great arm combined with exceptional mobility, is seriously impressive. Before today, WSU had only given up 13 sacks on Ward. So far, Oregon had added about 40% to that number.

C'mon man! That was just awesome.

I need 15 more points out of Oregon, and 14 more out of WSU to win the Fishduck prediction contest. It's not looking very good for me.

"Shake-n-Bake, Baby! If you ain't first, you're last."

Another excellent 2nd TD run. But what I'm perhaps most impressed with regarding their offense, is how balanced are passing and rushing game are.

Exactly. The guy looked like he thought he was a pedestrian. That was bizarre, but Herbert had to have thoroughly enjoyed it. I know I did.

Anyone know what that WSU defender was doing on that Bucky TD run where Herbert just blew him up? It looked like the defender didn't realize he was in the middle of a play.

They're reading this thread.

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.
