Yeah, I don't care what the guy looks like if he does the work and becomes a great player for OBD. Looks like the timing will be for him to be ready for back up duty this coming year and maybe ready to start next year. That's a long time from now and a lot can happen. Glad he wants to be a Duck.

The first play of the Indiana game is a perfect example of this. Everyone in the stadium knew it would be a short pass, probably a quick out and the Indiana corner sat on that. result pick six. We need more than nickel and diming to beat good teams like Indiana. As for next year, the players are certainly there to compete for the NC. Running back, receiver, tight end rooms are big time talented. The O line will be strong, how strong? Defensively it looks like we will be solid at every position, and great at some. How will other teams also try to improve, what will the schedule look like (is that out now?)? Ah found it. Big 10 schedule is not kind, at USC, at Illinois, at Ohio St. at Michigan St. Still, all of these games are winnable and we only lost to Indiana this past year and we are not playing them. Will we be more aggressive on offense? Will we figure out some of the pass rush packages that drove us crazy in some games? 11-1, 8-1 conference, in conference championship game and play offs. A bye in playoffs if we win the Conference Championship game. In the playoffs anything can happen, including the Ducks winning it all. Here's hoping.

Here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, 6 inches of snow, then two inches of sleet, then an inch of freezing rain. You can't walk on top of the snow, too slippery, hard to clear sidewalks, driveways and get cars out. We're hunkered down safe and warm inside though (not wanting to see our next electric bill). Other than that, a nice unexpected vacation.

Saw Scott play in high school several times. This is a great addition for the Ducks!

I have zero stats to back this up, but it just seems to me the Ducks have always done well with Polynesian players. These guys usually seem to over perform going from high school to college ball, you know like that 3 star guy who ends up being a Heisman winning QB.

IU wins 56-20, Ducks are at least two point better than Miami. 4 turnovers 5 sacks 310 passing yards

I am rooting for Indiana, partly because I don't want Mario Cristobal to win a NC before us. Tough choice though. I also know some IU fans from my time living in Ohio (not anymore, in Maryland now). Good folks and long, long suffering fans. Give them their day in the sun. I don't see Cignetti staying at IU very long, they will most likely drift back into obscurity.

Here's why I don't see that happening. One reason, it would mean Mario outcoached Cignetti. That's not happening.

Strong QB room for sure!

One more time, may have cost them the game. You don't go for it on 4th, when not making it leaves Georgia already within field goal range. Punt the ball!

So I wonder what this guy is saying now?

Merry Christmas to all my Duck friends!

As often happens with great players who are playing behind even greater players, when they get their chance they show what they can do. If we get everyone healthy Oregon has crazy depth at receiver. And guess what, we've got some really good ones coming for next year too.

Glad someone else saw this too. I love Stein, hope he does well as he moves on, but sometimes he seems to brilliant for his own good. He tries complicated solutions to more simple problems. We had two backs 60+ yards at half time and no one cracked 100 for the game. We should have ended that game with 300+ rushing yards.

Congrats Gat!
