Desert Duck

I might argue that in spite of Mario, Justin Herbert got us to the Pac-12 Championship, and Rose Bowl, where he led the team to two wins.

Spot on. These next 3, and hopefully 4 games, are a juggernaut. I could see pretty much any outcome a possibility. .

Florida has been so good to Oregon football... first by taking the Taggert disaster off of our hands, and then by rescuing us from Mario. On the flipside, for Taggert & Mario, Florida has been a disaster. Maybe sometimes, you just shouldn't try and go home.

No way Lanning was going to say yes to that pile of manure program. It is and was a disaster when MC said yes. The internal and external problems within the Miami program are huge.

Wowzaa... these are all just brutal --- only because they are all 100% spot on. What a total freaking dumpster fire.

In the new power rankings, Ducks are ranked #6, ahead of LSU. And a rather unimpressive USC team is #7. Hopefully, Texas can upset TCU next Saturday, otherwise, it looks likely that the Frogs will go undefeated. Nice to see Oregon getting the respect that they're earning. 3 more HUGE games.

With Alabama and Clemson taking losses, do the Ducks move up to #6? And how far does Tennessee drop?

Great to see the Ducks continue rolling through the regular season. 49 points of offense, while nice, was to be expected. Especially given that of the 8 teams that have spanked Colorado, all but one have scored 40+ points on them. Regardless, it was another very solid win. But now comes the final push meat grinder: UW, Utah, @ OSU. Huge props to the Duck players, and to the coaching staff. This could end up being one of the most miraculous turn-around seasons ever. Two months ago, if you tired to tell me Oregon would be 8-1, I would have laughed at you. Fortunately, the joke is on me

Not a bad first Bo Nix half. 15/17 - 225 yds - 2 TDs - 0 Ints

Parties in "ongoing communication." Perhaps more like Ongoing Desperation.

Makes Bo's decision to bolt fron Auburn look even smarter.

That's exactly what I called as well. But Bo blew out my passing yard total.

EastBayDuckDad 41-24. Well done... again. And hopefully, as an East Bay guy, you were able to go to the game.

Why would you leave Nix in?

I predicted 24 points for Cal. I need 6 more points out of Oregon.

Please pull Bo out now. 27/35 - 412 Yds - 3 Passing TDs - 3 Rushing TDs - 59 Yds rushing

I'd like to see 13 more points from Oregon and 7 more points from Cal... since my predicted score is 48-24. But I don't think that's going to happen. That first quarter killed my prediction for total Oregon points.

Agreed. It doesn't feel like to me that so far we have 35 points and 501 yards of total offense, and Bo heading toward 400 yards passing.

We are quite good... against Pac-12 competition.

4 quarters and 4 OTs... and the result against an average at best UV team is 14 points.

Oregon will win, but it's a shame our defense is so soft and appears to have decided to mail it in today.

After getting up for UCLA and playing so well, so far, it looks like our team may have decided that they'd mail this one in.

Why would you stop running the ball? The run was crushing it.

BYU has completely fallen off the map.

Prior to UG, when was the last time we traveled 3 time zones to play an away game. I believe it was last year against OSU. I'm just not buying the impact that the time zone thing has on these kids. It's not exactly like they're traveling by wagon train, or even on the dog... aka Greyhound. And they're only there for a few days so it's not like they're even having to adjust to the time where they are visiting.
