Still keeping the faith. 'Bama struggled with USF for most of their game before finally pulling away - hopefully OBD follow that trajectory rather than the Michigan and ND ones. Arizona also struggling right now with Northern Arizona.

Hate to say it, but at least Mari had decent O-lines to keep calling running up the middle pays fairly successfully lol. Having a good O-line is at least one thing Mari understood.

Maybe OBD need to bring back Greatwood. O-Line is a liability right now.

IDK, does BSU have some kind of psychological hex on the Ducks? Oregon State and even Ewe-dub seem to be able to put the Broncs away whenever they play. Give BSU credit as they're a good football team but I'm not sure why OBD struggle so much with them.

We've been through this a few times before when it seemed all was lost and somehow we came back to win. Still keeping the faith. I honestly hope the Ducks win - BSU fans and players come across as being obnoxious. OBD had some shining moments on O. Just keep doing what works.

I guess a positive about this game is hopefully it would be a lesson for the Ducks to stay grounded and not to treat any game as a "gimme" - which they probably thought about Idaho.

Well, we escaped. At least we got the W. But the Ducks have a crap ton of work to do to get better and prepare for Boise State next week. Hats off to Idaho, they came to play.

Idaho just scored a TD. Ducks will be lucky to be in the Top 20 after this game. I'm being generous, but our more accurate ranking based on this game is maybe between 21-25. Assuming we escape with a win.

O-line definitely needs a lot of work. If we play the same way against Boise State, we will get clobbered.

Well, Urban Meyer is available lol

We need to get by Boise State as well.OBD never won against them. But hopefully this year, we'll finally break that spell. Granted, Boise State probably not as strong as past years, but OBD really need to be hyped up for that game.

Condolences to the loved ones of Pennsylvania Duck. May she rest in peace.

Prayers for PD for a speedy recovery

Favorite sports are football and MBB. The others, it just depends if there is something that piques my interest, such as a freakishly good athlete - an example would be WBB, when Sabrina Ionescu was playing for OBD.

IDK what to think - I wouldn't be surprised if DL is as good as gone. 'Bama and Georgia are the jobs that we all knew DL has a high probability of bolting for if they opened up.

Come to think of it, I never thought we would find another offense as "Stone Age" as Mario's - but lo and behold, I think we found one that's probably even worse lol That said, if TT does end up in Iowa, totally rooting for the kid to lift Iowa's O out of the Stone Age - except when playing against OBD of course

I say cancel the agreement and put Texas Tech back on the schedule. Forget Oregon State.

Oh yes - thanks for correcting my post! How could I have forgotten about Herbert lol!

I just hope that the Ducks' ability to recruit QB's is not damaged down the road. Just concerned that in the future, good QB's coming out of high school may have second thoughts about coming to Oregon as they will probably think they'll just be riding the bench anyways in favor of someone coming in through the TP and thus will hardly get a chance to start, if ever. It's a Catch-22 situation, balancing decisions between the "win now" mantra vs possibly going through some seasons with maybe 3-4 losses while the QB develops. Probably the last QB we had that was developed by Oregon was Marcus Mariota.

Sad to see this but totally understandable. Hope he lands at a program that is willing to take a chance and make him the starting QB.

Without Caleb, I think USC loses this game. Louisville isn't exactly a walk in the park. IMHO, Caleb Williams IS the reason why USC is 7-5, albeit way short of expectations - instead of something like 3-9.

It is what it is. At least OBD get a chance to play in a New Year's Day bowl game. Although Liberty is probably not a "sexy" enough opponent for most of us, you know that they are really hyped up for this game and will play lights out against us. Just want OBD to play lights out as well, hopefully close out this season on a great note with a victory and look forward to creating havoc in the B1G next season. Go Ducks!

Regardless of whether the regular Duck starters decide to suit up or not, sadly Oregon has to win this game. A loss would basically give a black eye to the Duck program, and who knows what other collateral damage may result.

Awesome. Hopefully Bo playing will encourage other Duck players who were thinking of sitting out to suit up as well.
