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!

 

 

Go Ducks!!!

Cold outside, but no chance of rain!

Chunk plays to start!  Love seeing this!!

We only need to throw enough to keep UW from loading the box.

This has the feel of DL saying to UW defense "there is nothing you can do puppies, roll over."

Solid start! Keep up the pressure!

Oregon’s uniforms look like the  Raiders. Hope they play better than the Raiders.  
 

Off to a good start. The offense looks much sharper after the bye.  

Beautiful first 4 minutes 30 seconds of the game. 

We OWN the LOS already?  This could be fun!

 

My friends...we have a NEW PLAY that is killing the 'pups, and I look forward to breaking it down later this week!

 

The UW kicker looks like Ralphie from Christmas Story 

Defense didn’t look great on that drive but they held in the redzone.  Hopefully they make some adjustments.

I will accept FGs from UW as we score TDs all game long!  The math works out for OBD.

We are the better team here. Just need to play focused on I and settle into the game.

Nice job Autzen fans. 

Williams is going to be a problem for the next 2 years..

Why would Noah jump like that? It just causes a fumble. *facepalm*

This offense looks the same it has for the last 2 games. Not good. 
 

is James hurt?
 

Defense looks nails.

 

But once again, our offense is playing very underwhelming football. 

 

Sort of goes along with the fact that we've only scored 1 TD in the 3rd quarter over our last 8 games.

Definitely need to find their mojo!

Feels like we are losing but still up 1. Let's go offense.

 

Nice return. Fisch is being stupid with the pooch kickoffs, kicking it to dudes that can move with the ball.

We can win 2 yards at will. Much better series!

Great effort and blocking on that 2 play sequence!

Yes! Boettcher punches it out in the backfield! Haha!

Have I mentioned how Boettcher is my absolute favorite player on this roster? I love that guy!

Yes a quick TD! Let's keep it going! No let up!

Roll up the newspaper, the puppies been bad!

That was a tick tack penalty!

Our defense is just exceptionally stellar.

A fellow South Eugene Axeman!

I love the delayed and run blitzes by the defense. Great playcalling. It has UW on its heels.

Tez being kept under wraps?   Spring him on Penn State?

Fuskies just don't have the horses in the trenches. Ducks need to keep pounding the rock down their throats.

How freaking cool is that? Boettcher played in the pop warner championship in Autzen in 3rd grade! A fantastic picture of him running with the ball. Kudos to NBC for digging that up and showing it.

 

Punt it Huskies!

Need to put another score on them before half.

He was WIDE OPEN on that second series.  If Gabriel sees him, he’s probably still running.

He's out there, even on special teams. Just not connecting with Gabriel yet.

Well... looks like our offense kicked it into gear.

 

And with 5:01 to go, let's score again before the half. With our outstanding defense, it's definitely possible.

Not impressed with Oregon’s downfield coverage on the last series before the half. Need to tighten up the coverage.  
 

D-like and run defense has been excellent.

Once again to many penalties for my book.

For the concerns about the offense....28 points in one half is pretty darn good.  But that freshman QB of Washington is also pretty talented.  Some really tough throws, and his speed makes him difficult on the perimeter.

 

They will get their plays, but I do not see them outscoring us in the second half.  Let's get it done, Ducks!

 

 

Need to show stretches of dominance again in the second half.

 

I'm curious to see how many adjustments both coaching staffs make.

Washington has an excellent talent at QB but will he stay is the question. He might have some good programs come knocking. He is Quick.

3rd quarter

 

A huge sack by Burch to force the punt. I'm getting sick of UW converting on 3rd and long.

Man oh man can we get to that QB. Doesn't matter how fast he is if he has nowhere to go!

Washington might essentially become a farm club for a lot of good programs. 

In the last 8 games, we've scored 1 TD in the 3rd quarter. 

 

I'd like to see that change tonight. 

One thing to realize is UW has one less senior and a tad more years experience per player per stats I saw. So they are very senior and experienced like us.

 

We just have more talent at the moment, especially in the trenches.

 

Let's just keep running with it, jeez a pass on 3rd and 2? Why? Great to see Tex with a catch, but no need for that. It wasn't 4 down territory.
