Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Here we are my Duck-Buddies, the thread for pondering the actual game as it happens. Let's discuss before, and during the game! The vast majority of you are GREAT in this thread, but you must remember that this forum is different, as we require civilized discourse. Discussion of negative is fine, but don't vent on us! Rule No. 31d covers GameDay Thread Conduct, and it is not hard for the vast majority of us--just a tiny few who need to reign it in when things don't go well for Our Beloved Ducks. Let's Have Fun Posting During the Game! Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Joseph Moderator No. 3 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Charles, David and all the other fans in Autzen enjoy the game. I'm on my Right Coast game delay. I do not start rolling the tape before 2 p.m. Eastern. I've seen enough of Sherrif Boz and I don't care about which brand of Doc Pepper Caleb imbibes.

Krsmqn No. 21 Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) Ok... Oregon got lucky on that last play. Had that throw been on target, it would definitely had been a PSU TD. Lanning/Tosh need to settle these men down. To many players on defense looking like they have no idea. Hardly getting any penetration. It's Portland State! What's gonna happen next week??... Or the rest of the season with such great Offenses in the PAC? Oh lawdy! Edited September 2, 2023 by Krsmqn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never saw anything from him at his previous stops in the PAC 12. Maybe it's more accurate to say you don't like his coaching/results. No real reason to dislike him personally.

Solar No. 38 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Boettcher, local guy, walk on, played fantastic in the spring game and STARTED at LB, although he came out after a few snaps. Just made the recovery as a gunner. He's a total baller playing way above his projected abilities and I think Lanning recognizes that and is rewarding him with playing time. With a little luck he'll earn a consistent role and a scholarship. Gotta root for him! 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krsmqn No. 43 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Oregon hangs 50 on PSU in the first half. That will be many headlines. Hope the Defense makes huge leaps between this game and the next.

Solar No. 48 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Tuioti and Lupoi both need to be replaced if we want our D to be the best it can be. Great people and good recruiters, but...the coaching and play calling is not good enough. I think Hampton takes over before the end of the year, just like Saban did to Lupoi at Bama. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioDuck No. 49 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Poor Duck, the mascot trainer (I guess) asked (at least reading her lips), "Are you okay?" And it's just the first half. After the touch down drive by PSU early I was a little concerned with the defense, not that the Ducks would win, but that kind of defense is going to give up a lot of points against most PAC teams. But they settled down. I know the competition is not great, but laying 50 on someone in a half is impressive anyway. Now get a lot of play for those down on the depth chart, get them some experience.
