1Ducker1 No. 4 Share Posted November 17 My thoughts- Oregon can play a crappy game at night 2000 miles from home and still beat a very physical team although offensively challenged, in one of the most rowdy stadiums in the US. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Rocks No. 5 Share Posted November 17 This team is tired, you can see it but they did enough to win. How many other teams have had to play two months with no break and as someone said all the other teams had byes. They are tough and will gain from this. This defense really can play in this conference, in the past they wouldn't have won this game. Wisconsin's defense is extremely good. 1 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

30Duck Moderator No. 8 Share Posted November 17 (edited) This is what No.1 teams do. I didn't think they would lose, more importantly the Ducks didn't think they would. The offense wasn't working and a lot of credit for that has to go to Wisconsin. Scoring in the 3rd quarter is really good sometimes. Matayo was the star of the game.

Krsmqn No. 17 Share Posted November 17 (edited) Well that was... something. I'll take the win, but our offense needs to figure stuff out this week and become more on par with our defense. I will say that I'm very proud of OBD for fighting through adversity and sticking it out to get the win. Even though it was a close game it was still a good learning experience, and there will be many lessons learned. Game ball should be split between the defense and Atticus Sappington. Now let's hope they fix that offense up so when they face the mutts in 2 weeks they can light them up at home, and Dan will get his first win against the purple puppies. Let's Go Ducks!!

Jon Joseph Moderator No. 21 Share Posted November 17 Never A Doubt! 8 for 8 and finally, a nap. No team in B1G time CFB this season was asked to do This. Plus add on Maryland off a bye and Wisconsin off a bye. And two trips East in the last three weeks. This is great coaching. In its last dozen Prime Time games in Camp Randall vs. ranked opponents, Wisconsin was 10-2. Now, 10-3. Puddles have a nice nap, and then Hose the Huskies!

HDuck No. 28 Share Posted November 17 Excerpt from one of those links: "Barring any unlikely tie-breaking scenarios in the conference standings, Oregon will compete for the conference crown in Indianapolis." I believe that is true. If the Ducks lose to Washington, and a couple other games are upsets, Oregon could fall out of the 1 or 2 slot. It is based on teams being tied with one loss 8-1 and the W-L records of teams they beat when there was no head-to-head among some of the one-loss teams.

DrJacksPlaidPants Moderator No. 31 Share Posted November 17 I think that CFB is more similar to the NFL than ever. This is why we see great teams not playing well against unranked teams.

HDuck No. 32 Share Posted November 17 The Ducks would like to both clinch it and clench it.

Solar No. 36 Share Posted November 17 I'm happy we made it out of their without a loss and no new major injuries. The 8 games in a row, the travel, playing against rested teams while having that "top 5 team" target on their back makes it really tough to win and even tougher to look like you don't suck. We look horrible on offense and it's a good example how thin the line is between success and failure. Tez is a huge loss to the skill position's ability to get first downs, and Bedford/Harper's chemistry to create consistent rushing lanes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Featherbutt No. 47 Share Posted November 17 A little reminder for you young’ens. I will go to my grave knowing that this 2010 game was one of the finest I have ever witnessed. Uncle Cliffy returning that kick when it was obvious we were struggling moving the ball was a great moment. This highlight video does not show the final ground and pound drive ending in a knee majesty like I would like, but it sort of works. Tedford was a thorn in the side back then.
