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!

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.

Trap game?  I want to see a bear trap for the boilermakers!  GO DUCKS!!!

They appear to be following your script  Charles!  While looking good!

Nice start,   exactly what they need to do.   Now lets see a 3 and out.

 

Let's GOO00ooo!

Man these uniforms really pop on tv. Yellow helmets with stripes. Nice.

Green numbers and neck, yellow trim and hats on white definitely pops


 and another touchdown

Let's go for three TDs this drive!

By the way, Fox, thanks for the goalline cam.

Had to get it across 3 times for the zebras to not overrule the we got it across.

 

Go Ducks!

James has 4 touchdowns already

Great play so far from Justius Lowe and Kenyon Sadiq. Great opportunity to show their stuff.

If this is what a let down game looks like, I’ll take it.

Exactly. Seemed like they really didn't want to give him a TD. 

How does a reception with one foot in the end zone end up spotted on the one yard line?

Nice to see Sadiq step up.

Man Sadiq is reallly shining bright in this game. Love the run Lowe has gotten as well.

Bout time!

Thinking my prediction is a little off...

Studs a poppin', tonight!

Just wow

Is it me or is the Defense missing a lot of tackles?

Anyone else seeing all these uncalled holds by Purdue? 

 

Like every other snap a defensive lineman is being held.

Well they almost scored. Gotta take those moral victories in a game like this.

I was just about to say the same thing. They dont seem to be wrapping up.

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. 

Seems so... Given the difficulty the refs had calling TDs for James and Tez, the rest of the job seems apropo...

Surprised Lanning didn’t call time out before the commercial time out.

#10 is playing light out so far!  #8 isn’t doing to bad either!  87% accuracy not too shabby!

Nice TO

I guess Im asking for too much.  But,  DG sure misses a lot of wide open receivers.  He is not a NFL qb.

Like the score but not all the mistakes and poor tackling.

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.

Not to be argumentative, but I don't think the ball crossed the plane and it was the right call. His second attempt, however, was a TD IMHO

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.

Defense is pretty legit.  Those last two drives on offense were a little sad.  Hopefully we can clean that up at some point. 

Glad to see that 4th down stop.  Keep Purdue's spirits down.  Now the offense needs to take no prisoners.

Let's see another score now. 28-0 should seal it and allow us to rest a few players!!  Go Ducks.

3rd Q doldrums, again

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. 

oh well lol.    then let's just hold on, win and go home and get some rest.
