Mudslide

The Ducks' pass rush came alive against USC. I believe they will again. Dorlus and Thibs will accept the challenge against that tough Cyclone o-line. Dollars comes of age and cashes in on a C-note of yards. Shough surprises all of us with an unexpected turnaround. MC will shoot out Charles' fear of pistol dashes into primed beef. (Little used against USC, I might add.) I'm going for it all ... 38 - 21 Ducks.

The bowl was cancelled due to our ever present COVID-19. But Thompson was honored for his superior performance throughout the year...and also leading his team to its second consecutive state championship. I think our Ducks roped a good one in Thompson.

Okay, I'm a believer. I went to YT and checked out Brown's work in 2017 and 18. He doesn't have a rocket for an arm, but he looked sharp in all other aspects of qb'ing. He worked from under center in various alignments. He even looked pretty good against Clemson...except for a scrambling interception. But he likely now has enough practice time with the JM offense that he's likely pretty comfortable with it. Definitely, I say start Mr. Brown and let him take our Ducks to the Fiesta party.

Do not sleep on Ashford as a main contributor next year. I saw him play and he was awesome...touch, powerful arm, fast, good decision making, and he's quite an athletic runner. IMO he was THE electric QB in the Polynesian Bowl, which included Tagovailoa. He had 19 D1 offers in spite of the fear he'd turn to baseball. If he doesn't turn pro in that sport, I think our Ducks have a real gem that is going to shine.
