  1. To me, it doesn't matter who has the edge right now.

     

    I want to see the Oregon D be just as sharp and as tight at Stanford as they were last week. Improvement every week.

     

    Even if UW is ahead by a nose right now, they may still be behind by a length by game day.

     

    I expect to see Oregon in the winners' circle in two weeks.

    I do think you are going to see a lot more Bird-Bombs in the future, and we are going to get better at throwing them and catching them.

    Early in his tenure here, Stein said that he likes to go deep twice a quarter. Though 2 (no more, no less) is not a hard and fast rule, we've come real close to seeing that through 2 games. 8 deep shots in a game is more than the average bear puts up. (Yogi reference)

     

    1st and 10 and 2nd and short are the most likely times to see such shots.

    Oh, and the pass interference that wasn't called in the end zone, that wasn't pass interference 90% of the time, imo. No one should be complaining about that.

    I didn´t think it was defensive pass interference because it looked to me like the offensive player initiated the contact. After that, they were both just going for the ball.

    This is actually what the rumor mill is saying. Vote to keep all money and assets, and vote the entire Mountain West in.

     

    I don't think it will keep them as a P5 conference, but they will get assets and will get a little more prestige from the name and the legacy even if it is just a shell of it's former self. Not sure how the network fits into it. There probably aren't enough eyeballs to keep it going 

    Exactly.

    where there's absolutely no pressure on him.

    No pressure on him just because his team is up by 60???

     

    I'd say he had all kinds of pressure. The fans have been talking down on him for two years. If he can't even perform against a team that is down 60 points he is totally done. That's pressure. There are 50,000 people in the stands and over a million more on TV - that's pressure.

     

    If he wasn't feeling any pressure it is because of far superior coaching from Will Stein - which I believe he got.

    Certainly after his first run - and hit - TT was looking comfortable. He did well. I think WS will continue to keep him on a good path.

  6. Count me as a Will Stein fan also... as QB coach. Not only did we see improvement in TT, but Novosad was night and day better than what we saw in the Spring Game. Granted Novosad only had the spring back then, but still, he looked confident and put the ball where it needed to be last Saturday.

     

    If TT and AN continue to improve throughout the season, with several opportunities to contribute, and if Will Stein stays with the Ducks for a few years, then we can put to rest the idea that the Ducks will need to continue to poach the Portal for its starting QBs. We want to recruit good QBs out of high school and develop them into D1 superstars.

  7. I thought that his runs really helped his confidence. He needed to be hit. Sometimes getting hit as a QB knocks the fear right out of you and puts the confidence in. The QBs are wearing "don't hit me" red jerseys all the time. The only people that are allowed to hit them are on the opposing teams. Months of practice go by without having to absorb a hit.

     

    Great job Ty!
