Autzen Magic

I was at the game taking verbal abuse from Fusky fans, who suddenly went quiet and wouldn't engage me after the Smith to Johnson TD pass ("the catch). What great memories!

Troll the Trojans with Janet Jackson?! Love it!!!

Thanks, Charles! That was entertaining reading! Next time you hop on their site, please let them know I don’t think much of their University of Spoiled Children (aka University of Serious Cheaters). Go Ducks !!!

Ducks!!! 32-21 1 Condom TO 4 sacks by OBD 273 OBD passing yards

Kwame Evans energy and hustle was on a different level last night. Makes a huge difference. Wei Lin made some good decisions with the ball (unlike the prior games) and I expect him to be a contributor down the stretch.

The injury report was just released and Genorris Wilson is out. Alex Harkey is questionable. If Harkey can't go, who is next in line for Right Tackle? Is there some shuffling with Bedford or Rodgers (both primarily guards) entering the lineup? Or do we go with one of the younger players (Fox Crader or Trent Ferguson)? Moore, Bryant Jr, and Laulea are all out. Sadiq, Jackson, Gray and Harkey are all listed as questionable.

Ducks!* 24-20 3 Gopher Turnovers 3 Duck Sacks 232 OBS Passing Yards These are the same statistics as the 1999 Sun Bowl, when OBD defeated the Gophers in a glorious bowl victory.

Ducks! 42-12* 2 Hawkeye TOs 3 Ducks sacks 237 Duck passing yards *I was present at the last two Ducks wins over the Hawkeyes (1989 and 1994) and was presently surprised at the results of both games. So I'm going with history and splitting the difference between the scores of those games -- 44-6 (1989) and 40-18 (1994)

As a high school basketball coach, I 100% agree that there are times a coach should erupt. But to be effective, those times should be few and far between. And just as importantly, that eruption should be in the locker room behind closed doors. I don't believe that there is any benefit in publicly humiliating a player.

If we are goint to toss out the "lopsided wins," then I feel that when considering the running game, we can toss out sacks (which are not part of the running game but are including in rushing stats). In fact, let's toss out all of the QB/WR runs and focus just on the RBs so we can get an even better look at the "running" game. That leaves the following YPC for the three games you mention: Penn St: 28 carries for 141 yds = 5.0 YPC Indiana: 21 carries for 108 yds = 5.1 YPC Wisconsin: 32 carries for 227 yds = 7.1 YPC Pretty good numbers if you ask me.

Ducks! 37-6 1 Badger TO 4 OBD Sacks 273 passing yards

Ducks! 44-14 2 Scarlet Night Turnovers 3 OBD sacks 303 pass yards Go Ducks!!!

I became a Duck fan the day I was born (my dad was an UO graduate) and that will NEVER change because of on field performance. Win or lose, I love my Ducks (and I expect to experience a lot more winning than losing this season and beyond).

Ducks! 63-10 1 TO by the Hoosiers 7 sacks by the Ducks 267 passing yards (I got these statistics from when Indiana boat raced Illinois. I expect the same on Saturday, except for Indiana getting boat raced this time!)

I'm 56 (will be 57 sooner than I like to admit) and I also think OBD's drip for this game is on fire!
