Terrible "special teams."

Good decision.

Need to avoid running him. We'll need him close to 100% to beat USC, IMHO.

Oregon should kick the FG to go up by 3 possessions with one quarter to play against a Beavers offense that prefers to run the ball. I'm sure that the win probability would increase significantly with a FG.

Maybe Tosh was calling plays on that series? LOL

Defense didn't look good on that last series. Beavers ran it down their throats.

Love the wide receiver screens on the 3rd down against an aggressive defense.

Cota, again!!!

Our defense has forced a ton of turnovers that past 2 weeks. Great job.

What does that even mean?!

That is NOT targeting.

I didn't expect the offense to score 28 points against Oregon State's defense with a hobbled Nix.

I don't know what his injury was but he looks 100% to my eyes. Sure glad to have him back and I'm sure that he is relishing sticking it to the Beavs.

LOL. Great decision! Might be the best one today...

Nice play by Basa!

Sounds like the Beav fans already have their excuse, if they lose this game. Your brother will be gripping about that call for the next year.

Oregon's offense seems to be having success on the counter run and throwing the ball over the middle against OSU's zone defense. Have to avoid rolling Bo out of the pocket, if possible, because he is having difficulty planting off of the back foot and, as a result, his two throws have been a bit short.

Great drive to end the half. Bo is playing gutsy again.

Oregon State wants it more.

OSU got away with a face mask. Bo’s neck was turned awkwardly on the tackle. Dangerous play.

The young corners have been playing well. He got fortunate not to get flagged on the first pass defensed.

Don’t like the decision to go for it on 4th down. Need to take the points against a tough defense in what is expected to be a close game on the road.

I can't argue with a 9-2 record. The Georgia game was expected but the Washington game was painful. What I find most troubling with Oregon's defense is their inability to make a play on 3rd-and-long and blown coverages for long touchdowns, when they are playing a conservative defense. I would like to see more man-on-man coverages, especially with Gonzalez. The soft zone is a terrible choice on 3rd-and-long.

I would be over the moon if Proctor and/or Hicks chose to come to play football for the Ducks. Coaches have done a fantastic job building this class and this is just the beginning. The transfer portal will be key in plugging potential holes in the roster for next season. The coaches knocked it out of the ballpark last year with Nix, Irving, Gonzalez, Cota, Whittingham, et al.

Wow. Great post DazeNconfused! I'm no expert but I've been extremely disappointed with the defense. I thought for sure with Lanning (and Tosh) we would see a step forward in our defense performance this year, and was hopeful that Oregon's defense could be dominant in a couple of years. I look around college football and see the tough, gritty defense that Oregon State fields. Do they have better athletes than Oregon does on defense or is it scheme/coaching/desire? I would let Gonzalez play man-to-man against his receiver. We have seen too many miscommunications between him and the safety resulting in a long, blown coverage TD. He is projected by some to be the #1 CB taken in the NFL Draft. Let him lock down the player across from him. Utah and Oregon State want to run the ball on offense. They don't have the passing attack that Washington and USC possess. If we can get by Oregon State, I hope Bo Nix can get close to 100% for the Pac-12 Championship Game because I'm not sure how we are going to stop USC's offense.
