The Kamikaze Kid Moderator No. 1 Share Posted October 27 Just like Arnold in the movie, the Ducks are methodically taking out one team after another on their schedule. Every game minus top five tOSU has played out almost identically home or away, top twenty or bottom feeder. Final scores don't even look all that impressive because they simply hit cruise control for the entire second half. Just take a look at what they have done to date. Below are the first and second half scores in the BIG so far for the Ducks. UCLA 28-10 6-3 MSU 21-0 10-10 Purdue 21-0 14-0 Illinois 35-3 3-6 Total 1st half: 105-13 2nd half: 33-19 Add in tOSU 22-21 10-10 and the total is still 127-34 43-29 It appears to me that Lanning seems to going for three score separation by half, put the starters in neutral in the third qtr, then let subs finish out the fourth.qtr. These scores are just too similar to be random chance. I think this is helping him keep the starters healthy and reduce the amount of meaningful tape for coaches to game plan against. It's still too early in the season to make playoff plans but it appears more and more likely that as to playing in the championship, 'We'll be back.". 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kamikaze Kid Author Moderator No. 3 Share Posted October 27 And remember kids, over half of those 13 first half points against four BIG teams came on a bad pick six just before half! Gabriel alone on one bad play gave up more first half points that our D did in eight quarters! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck No. 4 Share Posted October 27 A big thanks to Nick Saban and Kirby Smart and Cristbal for teaching Lanning and getting him here, and he's still learning! Kamikaze mentioned the top level coaching he's utilizing so far, not even mentioning the high velocity onsides kick or the Lanning Rule. If ever a team has bought into their coach, it's this one. As much as Chip's team were all his, this team is even more Lanning. The identity Lanning has forged has truly elevated this already most talented Oregon team ever assembled into the best team Oregon has ever had. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
