Duckpop22 No. 2 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Well, I guess that answers the QB question. Per Moseley Shough takes warmup snaps from Forsyth, and Brown takes them from Denis. Show 'em your best stuff, Tyler! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marsh No. 3 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Not feeling too good after that drive from Iowa state... The defense lacks the fire that carried them in the oac-12 championship game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

C J No. 5 Share Posted January 2, 2021 If Jamal Hill makes that fairly easy tackle on 3rd down that drive is a whole different situation. That's the fundamentals of the game. That's how you lose if you don't play fundamentals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Marsh No. 8 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Offense looked good ... They gutted the Iowa State defense pretty well there. Happy to see a successful drive after the first run by Shough of that drive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

C J No. 16 Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) Unable to get stops on two big third downs (including the busted coverage touchdown pass) and one fourth down play during that drive. Those are back breakers for a defense. I am concerned our D is going to get winded in this game. Somebody should be assigned to Koler full time. Purday will look for him time and time again.

Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 17 Share Posted January 2, 2021 With Iowa State taking a half of the entire first quarter their first scoring drive--it means that Oregon will have far fewer possessions in this game than normal, thus you have to make the most of every possession on offense and the defense has to make some stops! The big play by Dye effectively had a slice block by our TE, but not on the edge defender, but on an Inside Linebacker, and THAT is an interesting variation!

C J No. 39 Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) How about Popo's submarine move on that fourth down stop at the goal line? Two epic plays by Oregon's big men in this game so far. #1 was Kampmoyers block and #2 was Popo's. Further proof that the big guys make a huge difference in the game.

Though what is also showing right now is how much more expirence this iowa state team has over Oregon. They are loaded with seniors and have almost played double the games of Oregon. More practice time, more game time and it is all very hard to make up. Especially for the youngest team in the country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
