Are the Ducks bowl eligible yet? I remember when back when that was big news!

You gonna take his spot on the sidelines in your street clothes?

Ducks 39-7 (Let's establish a tradition) 3 TO 4 sacks 289 yds passing

One of the things I noticed (you will want to look again), is the look in the eyes of the ref after the play is over. He keeps looking at Whit as he heads out of the back of the endzone. His eyes looked like they were saying, "Who IS this guy??"

A couple thoughts: DL wants good recruiters. His goal will never be to rehabilitate coaches, but to win championships. No matter what their upside, DL would never hire a Chip Kelly because he doesn't want to recruit. Rather than be a rehabilitator, DL wants to get young coaches with a lot of drive and good ideas... and help THEM succeed. This has been DL's MO from the beginning. He will hire an old experienced guy to help mentor the young buck (A'lique Terry), but he's not hiring the old guy to be The guy. Looking back some day, DL's coaching tree will show a multitude of great coaches that started as young, near unknowns. Some of those young bucks will not want to move on. They will like working with DL. They will like Oregon. They will like the rings. They will realize that the grass is pretty green in Oregon. There may be a lot more coaching stability in Oregon than anyone would imagine now. Dan Lanning has made it clear that he wants to stay.

Cignetti has my vote.

You got the decimal point in the wrong place. 10 miles, 100 miles... 1000???

Oregon 42-10 3 TO's 6 sacks 320 yards

Regarding NW pre-injury vs. NW post-injury... I've had an ACL repair surgery, and there is NO WAY someone can be 100% back to pre-injury condition in only a year. I'm surprise he is doing as well as he is. His knee still has room for improvement.

Bassa said before the season that the B1G will have to adjust to our physicality (or something to that effect). That was a very risky thing to say, as we had to deliver or be a laughingstock. Two plays: 1) The refs didn't see (I'm assuming) that the receiver did not have control of the ball when he hit the ground, and Bassa wrestled the ball away from him - a very impressive show of physicality. 2) Harmon wrestled the ball out of the runner's hands as they were falling to the turf. That's physicality that tOSU was unprepared for. Last physicality observation: The Ducks were more physical in the trenches on both sides of the ball the whole game. tOSU and the rest of the B1G need to beef up a bit more to deal with the Ducks' physicality. The Ducks seem to be holding their own on the physicality front.

From a marketing standpoint, this is EXACTLY what we wanted. We openly pushed for the moniker "That team out west". "That team up north" is used because tOSU hates Michigan so much that they refuse to say their name. It's what we asked for. If we keep beating tOSU, someday we might get it. Does the B1G regret inviting us in yet??? Buyer's remorse??? They got a deal when they bought us for only half shares.

Nowhere close to "It could have gone either way" when it was a total blow out. Howard's quote is close to "It could have gone either way". If he would have said that, he would have been right.

Oregon 37-27 1 3 286

I don't know. It looks like LOVE. "Am I leading, or are you?"

This was my thought exactly. Against any of our previous opponents, those balls are not intercepted. Especially the second one. They were both lights out plays by the Spartans. When they happened, I thought that perhaps DG was surprised, thinking he had good throws. And I thought that he is now aware that DBs can be a lot better than what he has seen.

Oregon 41-17 1 TO 3 Sacks 307 Passing Yards

When I saw it, I thought it made sense. If DG goes down, Novosad is the backup to Dante. Give him the experience of receiving a couple of hikes, a hand off and a knee in front of a live audience. If he is #3, he will not get any meaningful snaps in a real game unless Dillon and Dante both go down. Give him at least a LITTLE experience with the TV cameras on.

Oregon 52-13 1 turnover 5 sacks 387 passing Lemonade

34-27 Ducks 2 TO 3 Sacks 389 Passing Yards

Of course, that 98 was AFTER the Beavers shut them out 21-0. I watched the game and the Beavers played very well on both sides of the ball. SDS is definitely not where they have been historically, hence, the new head coach. SDS will be back. They were a hair and a whisker away from joining the PAC-12. They still might. They are down right now and the Beavers took advantage.

Oregon 44-20 2 4 389

I noticed the B1G network had "Football in 60" just a couple of days after the games. Since I have to work during the game, I decided to hope for "Football in 60" to record later so I can watch it. Also, someone a week or so ago said that the game would be available later, either on the B1G network or the B1G app. Any confirmation on that????

I was mostly disappointed with the O-Line play, particularly, that of Cornelius. He didn't play like one of the best tackles in the country. ¿TWO illegal formation penalties? That is something that won´t happen again. Also, WAY to many sacks. Right now, the O-Line is a weakness. I don´t think we should underestimate how good Idaho´s defense is. They are ranked 7th in the country in their division. They will no doubt be rated higher this week. We've heard experts say for years that the biggest jump that a team makes during the season is between the first and second weeks. Oregon now has an opportunity to prove that thesis.

Ducks Vs Them, Season II. Same Duck time. Same Duck channel... Stay tuned.

I've been watching some games from last year, and Ty played very well.
