Posted October 28, 20231 yr Administrator 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! One of the coolest screenshots I've ever captured. Took a long time to get the precise instant... Mr. FishDuck
October 28, 20231 yr Author Administrator I was relieved to hear that my suggested defensive game plan aligns with what Coach Aliotti is saying..."since Utah runs the ball 65% of their offensive plays--stack the box, stuff the run, and man coverage on the outside." If we stop the Utes running game, I do not believe that their passing game will outscore Oregon's offense. Mr. FishDuck
October 28, 20231 yr We owe the Utes a stomping before the PAC 8-10-12 becomes a footnote in sports history. If the D dominates the Utes run game then this could be a blowout. Going to be a a difficult first half but the Ducks will score often in the 2nd half. Go Ducks......
October 28, 20231 yr Moderator Was Stanford Steve a Math Major on The Farm? Steve has his prime numbers down - 12222 12-22-2 - I'd be embarrassed to show my face. No wonder he dresses straight out of Good Will.
October 28, 20231 yr LB play is going to be vital. One of Jacobs forte is rush defense. Looking for him to have a strong game. Taki, Popo and Casey Rogers can plug up the interior pretty well. Ducks Biggest issue is on the edge. I like the idea of man and perhaps a spy on the RB. Maybe Bassa and Hill as spy but I think you have to let Jacobs play free.
October 28, 20231 yr Moderator Does Michigan have to cheat against this schedule? 11/11 at Penn State will be the Wolverines 1st game vs a ranked opponent. Come On Jim!
October 28, 20231 yr I will be pissed if I can't see the first quarter because of another games weather delay.

Speaking of 'pissed,' based on CGD signage, Utah fans are obsessed with the process of micturition. Toilet training had to be tough in many a Utah family.

If we stop the Utes running game, I do not believe that their passing game will outscore Oregon's offense. You can get away with stacking the box because they don't have a deep pass reliably. Make them beat us over the top. Just make sure we've got a corner on Vaki and not an LB or DE.

Yeah, I'm not sure what they are going to do. Most likely probablility is to start it on a different Fox network, but which one? The Fox Sports channel has football games of it's own. Edit: Fox's sports 2 has 3 hours of horse racing, so maybe that will be it. I don't know if there is a streaming option they can make available too. Edited October 28, 20231 yr by Solar

October 28, 20231 yr Moderator You have to really appreciate Nix's patience, leadership, and overall command of the offense on the field. Veteran play at its best.
October 28, 20231 yr Moderator Great OL play, great play calling, great execution: let's bottle that and pour it out all day.

October 28, 20231 yr What the hell PI call was that? Tangled feet is not PI and the ball was uncatchable to boot.
October 28, 20231 yr Moderator On 10/28/2023 at 12:54 PM, Log Haulin said: The inexperience of coach whit? Take the dam points IKR? But I think that decision was partially based on confidence in his line and partially wanting to test out Oregon's.
October 28, 20231 yr Moderator Fumble a bummer but D held and only 3 points for Utah. And the Kyree PI was totally bogus on the prior series. Now another Duck TD drive is in order
October 28, 20231 yr 2 pts is a win by Ducks. Doesn't look like the utes will be able to move the ball today.
October 28, 20231 yr Having a play calling coach on the field like that just isn't fair to Utah. Heh heh.
October 28, 20231 yr I don't buy the Utes are great D racket at this point. Ducks are doing what ever they want.
October 28, 20231 yr Utes at about 2 yrds per rush. 7ish yards per pass. Oregon D gets stronger as the game goes on.
October 28, 20231 yr Moderator I really was not expecting this. Still a lot of football left, but I’m glad I’m a Duck fan.
