If Michigan is going to go for it on 4th and 3, why throw the ball when you are gashing the UW defense with the run?

Terrance Ferguson is the best tight end that Oregon has had in years, IMO, since we regularly produced NFL ready TEs. BIG retention for Dillon Gabriel! Our coaches and Division Street have been busy!

Hopefully Birch has a monster senior season and can improve his draft stock to the first round. He certainly has the physical attributes you'd look for in the NFL, scouts just need to see the productivity and consistency.

Agreed. In the Beavers' case, it could also be wanting to play against top competition and exposure, especially if the player has NFL aspirations. I'm just saying that every player has different motivations/desires and it's not always about the NIL $$$.

Oregon should use Noah, like the Niners use Christian McCaffrey. Give him some designed runs up the middle and pitches to the outside but shift him all over the field to create match up issues for the defense. We should also consider using him as the kickoff and punt returner as that could increase his draft stock.

Some kids may also value playing time or other factors (e.g., a fresh start, new coaches, being closer to home) over NIL $$$…

I love Bo Nix but he didn’t win a conference championship and was 0-3 vs. the hated Huskies. Therefore, there are a handful of modern Oregon QBs that I’d take over Bo.

This is one of the few times that I wish there was a thumbs down on FishDuck. Huck the Fuskies!

Let’s go Longhorns!!!

I’m grateful that Bo decided to play, but without him I think that Oregon would have pounded the rock and still won the game comfortably. Liberty did not deserve to play in a New Year’s bowl game (not a single victory against a top 25 team) and were at a severe disadvantage at the line of scrimmage and outside of the first drive did not score on Oregon’s defense.

Liberty had no business in the Fiesta Bowl or a New Year's Day Bowl. They had a nice season but not a single victory over a top 25 team this season. They did not earn it.

I have not heard his name called today. As of the end of the 3rd quarter, Dickey has not registered a catch. Hopefully that will change in the 4th when our backups get some playing time.

I love all of the easy passes (e.g., push passes, screen passes) that Oregon is calling to help Bo break the record. Wonder if Mac Jones is watching and what he is thinking. LOL.

I don’t believe that they track NCAA dropped pass stats but I wouldn’t be surprised if Oregon were averaging 2-3 dropped passes per game this season. Oregon’s receivers have been great at yards after the catch and blocking downfield but they need to work on catching the routine passes. The one that bounced off our receivers hands, right in front his facemask, to a defensive back for an interception earlier this season stands out.

Liberty had a nice season but they have no business being in a New Year’s bowl game. Not a single victory against a top 25 team.

Oregon receivers have been dropping passes all year; otherwise, Bo Nix would have the all time completion percentage record easily.

He had his whole life ahead of him. Always sad when someone decides to end it, especially for those closest to him.

I hope Ferg and Tez come back next year. Bryant Jr. can be a big time playmaker next year, if he puts in the work in the offseason.

I’m shocked that he didn’t go to a 2024-25 title contender. Ward was a fun QB to watch in college. I wish him the best. Playing for Mario would have been detrimental to his career.

I’m assuming that these aren’t PAC-12 refs. Thank goodness we’ll never have to deal with those refs ever again.

Oregon definitely showed up in the second quarter. I think we could have beaten Liberty comfortably without throwing a single pass. They cannot stop Oregon’s running game. I hope that Bo sits the second half.

I would not be surprised if Dana waits until after Jackson Shelstad and Kwame Evans, Jr. are finished. Coach Altman has to be excited about the potential with those two ballin' out in Eugene. One final run at a National Championship in the next 4 years?

Oregon looks flat through the first quarter. Stein is too pass happy and our WRs drop too many passes. Regardless of what the coaches say, these bowl games are pointless. Just look at all the empty seats.

Mine was how good this team can be once they get healthy. UCLA stayed in the game due to offensive rebounds. If Dante were playing, it would have been an Oregon blowout.
