My FishDuck Friends,

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!

Not feeling too good after that drive from Iowa state... 

The defense lacks the fire that carried them in the oac-12 championship game.

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.

Like a knife through butter for the O. Hope they stay consistent with Shough throwing it down field.

In the USC game the D got better as the game went on. Hopefully they will do the same here.

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.

But they also started out a whole lot hotter... USCs first drive ended in an interception.

That was classic!! THAT is fundamentals at their best.

We need the D to do the same. Break down, slow down and wrap up. There is no reason to try to knock a guy out of his cleats.

Better at slowing the run this second ISU drive... But struggling pretty bad to get any pass rush in.

No defense there either

So which offense will hiccup first ??

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.

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!

My biggest fear coming into this game was that the Ducks would lay a massive egg.

Some will not be happy about this comment but I would bring back Helf--we are not prepared well

Finally got the big STOP!!!

It's only partway through the second quarter with a one-touchdown deficit. Let's quell the panic. Iowa State is a really good team.

Huh????? I thought you were down on Avalos? How would Helf help with that?

That was a 99 yard drive. I think we have a new QB.

Santa Rosa Duck, I think (and I hope) you are right.

Thing is..........Shough looked really good in the first drive as well.

I don't mind the committee.

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.

I'm for Helfrich coming back as offensive coordinator when Moorhead moves on... I know there is a FishDuck article somewhere that talks a lot about that. 

Though it does look like Oregon is figuring things out.

Well that's the game for ISM. Hopefully someone will step up for his loss.

Dru Mathis? What happened to Isaac Townsend anyway?

Well, save for one great play by Popo the D does not look good at all. Granted ISU has a very good looking offense with great play calling but.......................

Helfrich had a completely different HC to work for back then, won't work with Cristobal, as we saw when Helfrich went pro.

Wow........special teams is a major achilles heel for this team. Year in and year out.

Iowa State is what a well-coached, disciplined, cohesive team looks like. They're really good.

Agreed... 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.
