Autzen Magic

I believe the Ducks D regularly put Penix in peril during the first game. The second game I was yelling at my TV “If you’re going to blitz, you’ve got to get there!” I have not studied the reason for the different results, but I assume UW adjusted their protection. Like others, I also believe that the Ducks D injured Penix’s midsection (Ribs?) and he never fully recovered and he aggravated the injury during the championship game. He couldn’t afford to stand in the pocket and take a hit. All of that aside, Penix and Andrew Luck were the 2 best quarterbacks I have seen throw the deep ball in tight windows. My $.02.

I have absolutely no inside knowledge, but I believe that the Ducks made a deal with Bo that if he came back one more season they would limit his runs and protect his NFL draft status. With Gabriel, I don't believe there is the same concern and I bet he's getting NIL $ with an agreement he will run the ball when necessary. But what do I know? Just my $0.02.

My original comment was meant for Gabriel article. Sorry about that.

Sounds like a great event, but I won't be able to attend from Portland. I hope it is a big success and that it leads to a future event that I can attend. Go Ducks!

Love this behind the scenes look at OBD!

A few years back, I attended a game at Rice Eccles against Utah. It was a black out, but as a Duck fan, I didn't follow the rules. Can you spot me? I was treated well by 99.9% of the fans and had a good time tailgating with Utah fans I had just met.

Ducks 38-24 1 TO by Fuskies 3 sacks by Ducks 303 Duck passing yards Go Ducks!!!

Ducks 34-3 1 Cardinal TO 5 Ducks sacks 259 passing yards Go Ducks!!!

I was listening on the radio on the way home from Autzen and the announcers stated that Colorado won the toss and elected to take go on offense first. Also, under the new rules, teams have to go for 2 starting with the second OT. Starting with the third OT, teams ONLY attempt two point conversions.

My understanding is as follows: 1) Colorado won the toss and elected to take the ball first (an unconventional and IMO an unwise decision). 2) Therefore, CSU was able to make the selection for the second OT and elected to play defense first.

Not a good idea in my opinion to take the ball first in OT. But under the new rules, a team has to go for 2 in the second OT. Starting with third OT, the teams only attempt 2 point conversions.

Ducks 48-17 2 Rainbow Warrior TOs 4 Duck sacks 273 passing yards Go Ducks!!!

Much appreciated, Charles.

I don't disagree, but it's my understanding that there are significant liabilities (namely overpayment by Comcast and maybe continuing lease obligation in SF office?). I wonder what is the net result of the accounting of assets and liabilities. Should be easy to determine, but from what I have read (no inside knowledge whatsoever), it doesn't seem like the Pac-12 offices have their s*** together to provide that calculation. If true, another example of how poorly the higher ups operated the conference.

Ducks 52-21 2 Red Raider TOs 2 sacks by the Ducks 355 passing yards Go Ducks!!!

Charles, have a great time in an amazing venue! And then do it again and again and again … Go Ducks!!! Vai Patos!!! (I’ve started to learn Portuguese)

Ducks 55-13 Ducks create 2 turnovers Ducks get 5 sacks Ducks pass for 373 yards. Go Ducks!!!
