Posted October 18, 2024Oct 18 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! Mr. FishDuck
October 18, 2024Oct 18 Moderator The absence of TFerg would be a major concern against an Ohio State, but I'm optimistic Herbert and Sadiq will take up the slack tonight particularly in the run game. There will likely be fewer 13 and 'heavy' alignments. Hoping to see some of Saleapaga. Hopefully TFerg has a minor injury or has a non-football related illness.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator Man these uniforms really pop on tv. Yellow helmets with stripes. Nice.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Green numbers and neck, yellow trim and hats on white definitely pops and another touchdown
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Had to get it across 3 times for the zebras to not overrule the we got it across. Go Ducks!
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Great play so far from Justius Lowe and Kenyon Sadiq. Great opportunity to show their stuff.

October 19, 2024Oct 19 How does a reception with one foot in the end zone end up spotted on the one yard line?
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator Man Sadiq is reallly shining bright in this game. Love the run Lowe has gotten as well.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Anyone else seeing all these uncalled holds by Purdue? Like every other snap a defensive lineman is being held.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator Well they almost scored. Gotta take those moral victories in a game like this.

October 19, 2024Oct 19 Yes. A lot of holding by Boilermakers. But pursuit angles/tackling not great. Brandon Johnson needs to improve in order for OBD Natty. I hope Jabbar is OK.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Seems so... Given the difficulty the refs had calling TDs for James and Tez, the rest of the job seems apropo...
October 19, 2024Oct 19 #10 is playing light out so far! #8 isn’t doing to bad either! 87% accuracy not too shabby!
October 19, 2024Oct 19 I guess Im asking for too much. But, DG sure misses a lot of wide open receivers. He is not a NFL qb.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 I know the team is up but... it sure seems like they are loosing focus as the game goes on. What a mess that last few minutes were.

October 19, 2024Oct 19 Feels kinda like that Starbucks cup of coffee you've been looking forward to and the espresso shots turn out a little bitter. I mean, it's still a good cup of coffee but it's not what your mind was thinking it was gonna be. Edited October 19, 2024Oct 19 by Ktmguy2018
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Defense is pretty legit. Those last two drives on offense were a little sad. Hopefully we can clean that up at some point.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Glad to see that 4th down stop. Keep Purdue's spirits down. Now the offense needs to take no prisoners.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Let's see another score now. 28-0 should seal it and allow us to rest a few players!! Go Ducks.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 I'm just not at all impressed with Whittington. He either is a home run or gets next to nothing. And lately it's been nothing.
