OregonDucks

LOL. I was excited about Oregon potentially signing a TCU DT transfer and then the next post I saw was that Harmon was considering the Ducks....

The B1G Conference was the big winner of conference championship weekend. Putting aside my Duck fandom...that was a really good and entertaining conference championship game featuring the #1 vs. #3 team in college football (with 1 collective loss between them). By comparison, the SEC Championship was a sloppy game, and I couldn't care less about the other conference championship games, unless you are a fan of one of the teams participating. Both Oregon and PSU left no doubt that they belonged in the playoffs last night and are two of the best teams in the land. [And the B1G got the #1 team and conference champion for 1/2 media shares...]

We might see Penn State, again, sooner (in the playoffs).... [That is a very good football team and they should make a run in the playoffs.]

If it were 1991, Oregon would be the unanimous National Champions. Now we have to play a playoffs, after a 13-0 season.

Great call. Keep it in DG’s hands.

Please don’t run up the middle. Please. Please. Please.

Great interception. Reed has a nice pair of hands. He could start at WR for most B1G teams.

Agreed. We went too conservative, too early.

I don’t know how you can defend Oregon’s defense after this game. Penn State has only score more against: Kent (56) Purdue (49) Maryland (44)

The QB is killing us with his legs. Our d line is not containing him.

Then our defense proceeds to give up a 3rd and long conversion

That was a B1G TD. Way to eat 6 minutes off the clock and finish the drive. DG to T-Ferg on another clutch conversion.

I don’t understand why we don’t go tempo when there is a close call.

Tez has been HUGE! So glad he’s back.

Can we PLEASE stop the short passes to RBs and WRs?

Did Oregon just score an offensive TD in the THIRD QUARTER?!!!

Or are they playing well because Oregon’s defense is not doing their job? I’ve seen Penn State play multiple times this year and they should not be doing this to a “good” defense.

It worked out because we didn’t get the first down. It was poor clock management. No point in saving the timeouts. They don’t carry over to the second half.

Oregon’s defense is overrated. Penn State averages 33 points a game. They have scored 24 in the FIRST HALF against the Ducks. Ohio State held Penn State to 13 points in Happy Valley. PSU only scored 21 against Illinois. We laugh at the low scoring SEC games but Georgia and Texas both have better defenses than Oregon does, IMO. Ohio State probably had the best defense in college football. If those teams can slow Oregon’s offense down (or we have an off night) in the playoffs, anything is possible.

Penn State’s ground game is gashing us and our secondary is giving up passing plays.

And Oregon’s defense is not playing up to their standard. Unfortunately, Penn State is hanging around.

Oregon’s offense has become stagnant. Seems like we went away from what was working early.

DB was burned badly on that play. Was he expecting safety help over the top?
