  1. Well ....

     

    Too many turnovers (9), but much better the last 10 minutes.

     

    Even on the boards, but the Gamecocks got too many offensive boards early

     

    (the other) USC has four 3 pointers, not bad, but that foul on a 3 point shot (which allowed 2 made free throws) hurt.

     

    Even with all of that, Ducks lead by 5 after desperate heave by S. Carolina.  Take care of the basketball, attack the basket, get the ball down low to Dante and make free throws and the Ducks advance.

     

    Go Ducks!!!

    I don't understand people who stand all the time. They can't see any better, and they block the people behind them. 

     

    I had season tickets for 20 years.  Now I go to a couple of games a year.

     

    I like to stand.  It's really hard on my back and hips to sit on the bench seating for 3+ hours.  And as a larger person (6'4"), there is often not enough leg room to sit comfortably and I have to fight for hip space when I am sitting.  If there is a stadium seat in front of me, forget about it.   Sitting is no longer a reasonable option.

     

    And I can no doubt see better.

     

    That being said, I am conscious of those around me and try and make friends and ask where I can stand to hopefully not obstruct their view too much.

     

    That's my experience, anyway.

    Oregon also failed to get consistent pass rush on him. I feel that was a a major flaw in Lanning and co's game.plan against the Huskies. 

     

    If they schemed up some better pass rush and managed the line of scrimmage better those games end differently. 

    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. 

  4. 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.
