kirklandduck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted November 10 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.

David Marsh No. 13 Share Posted November 10 These refs are flag happy. A lot of these wouldn't have been called in previous games. Not saying they're not fouls... But consistent refing in the conference for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryM9 No. 21 Share Posted November 10 I feel this is somewhat expected. Oregon is not going to be up for every game, and Maryland had a week off with a different offense than what we are used to. Our guys are playing hard, and I am hoping for the good third quarter we have looked for. That last drive looked good, and Fergasons foot was very close if not out. If things break normally the rest of the game we will still win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDuck No. 24 Share Posted November 10 Not a good 3rd Quarter start.

TerryM9 No. 28 Share Posted November 10 I would not expect less from Lanning. Just a great drive and play calling for the Ducks. Maryland is playing excellent defense. I think that was a tackle eligible play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jordan Burch ran the fake punt. Similar to how they used Casey Matthews a couple seasons ago against UCLA. I’m not sure who caught the TD though. *edit* Might have been Gernorris Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirklandduck Author Moderator No. 34 Share Posted November 10 They look very unfocused, particularly the offense and the secondary…almost lackadaisical even. Could we be seeing mental fatigue after so many games without a bye week? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJacksPlaidPants Moderator No. 35 Share Posted November 10 The injuries from last week are proving costly. Also, the arrogance with the “thumbs down” attitude is rearing its ugly head. This type of play has been happening all day. Bad Karma is real. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CO Duck No. 37 Share Posted November 10 Seems like Brandon Johnson is consistently giving up critical completions and committing really in opportune penalties. Not just this game but all season long. The last MD drive was a great example. Gave up a completion for a first down on a 4th and 2. Three plays later he’s flagged for PI on 3rd and goal. Next play he gives up a touchdown while in coverage. I get he had the scoop and score, but from a coverage standpoint, he’s definitely the weak link in the secondary. Are they really that thin at corner? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marsh No. 38 Share Posted November 10 That was definitely roughing the passer. That ball was long gone.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJacksPlaidPants Moderator No. 40 Share Posted November 10 Maryland is going to win this game. I saw this exact thing happen 2 weeks ago to a top ranked NCAA Division II team. The offense became undisciplined and the defense got tired. This might be what Oregon needs. Edit: I was writing this before the interception, but it’s still only a two score game. What a missed opportunity. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDuck No. 47 Share Posted November 10 Wisconsin will also be coming off a bye. Maryland's head coach said he had his team start practicing defensively for Oregon during the bye week....essentially two weeks of practices for one opponent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
