October 19, 2024Oct 19 I'm afraid that I agree with David Marsh about Whittington. He does not seem to be the same runner yet, as he was before being injured. A bit concerning to me.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator It seems that Will Stein is letting off the gas for the offense. Feels too early for that.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Limar? Harris? Would be nice to see if someone in addition to James can tote the rock. Well, okay, an outstanding catch by Whittington will do! Edited October 19, 2024Oct 19 by Chas Man
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Whittington has done well at receiver... But as a runningback? Not feeling it.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Whittington is still stuck in his head about the injury. Playing scared in a strange sort of way. If he's truly our 2nd best RB, then we need to use James sparingly through the season unless we are on track to lose. Whittington also isn't reading where to go well. I was hoping Harris would be used, but he's still behind Limar, which is disappointing. Kudos to Whittington on that catch though. Outstanding. Edited October 19, 2024Oct 19 by Solar

If the read is right then he gets big yards if it isn't then he doesn't. The problem is that he doesn't feel consistent.

October 19, 2024Oct 19 I would really like to see the defense preserve this shutout! A 35-0 victory on the road against a team that hung 49 on Illinois in a loss says a lot.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 I don't know what is holding back Harris in practice, he seems good, although I could have probably scored on that last play. Harris a Limar certainly seem to want it more when they are out there.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator Anybody else tired of these announcers? Babble about everything but the game! Yuck!
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Moderator Taking of business every night Harris to the end zone standing upright Taking care of business doing fine And no working any overtime. 😍👌👍 Safe Home! Take the Fight Out of the Illini!
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Where is Flowers anyways? Dude was expected to be in the two deep at the beginning of the year, he isn't even on the field with the backups. I see Woodyard and Turner out there.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Novosad is on the field instead of Dante Moore. I think he's the backup, not Moore. Good for him!
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Novasad in before Moore. Could be Justified vs. UCLA to keep Moore safe, but not against Purdue. Did Novasad pass him on the depth chart? Inquiring minds want to know. I've long since belief Moore will never start for the Ducks. Too Blaise and not intuitive enough, much like Thompson. I hope I'm wrong, because he has a heck of an arm.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 The DB’s are rapidly becoming a strength for this team. Less than 100 yards passing for Purdue on nine completions. Several saving tackles. Edited October 19, 2024Oct 19 by Just Ducky
October 19, 2024Oct 19 I believe they are preserving Moore’s redshirt. Nice to see Alexander get an INT on good coverage.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 "Novasad in before Moore." Each has now participated in two games. Four game or less rule still in effect to preserve eligibility for a redshirt year. Bowl games no longer count towards the 4.

But Moore can participate in four games and still redshirt. Novo was a 4* recruit purloined from Baylor. He came to Oregon with talent and has an extra year of experience playing for Coach Stein compared to Moore. Hard to evaluate QB talent on every level of football. In today's CFB, Oregon's 2025 QB could be playing for another team.
