30Duck Moderator No. 2 Share Posted 5 hours ago Thanks, Alex. Football 101 says the key to beating osu2 is getting a serious pass rush on Howard. Having Burch this time helps with that immensely. Not only that, I can see Lupoi having some blitz packages ready to go. Containing Smith, by getting to Howard is mandatory. Osu2 can run the ball, but if they don't break a big one, let em get 3 yards and a cloud of dust. Heisman winner Hunter and the Buffs will have played BYU in the Alamo Bowl, by the time the Rose Bowl kicks off, Jeanty and Boise State and Penn State is the game right before, now it will be Gabriel's turn to do what he has all season; lead the Ducks to another win. It doesn't seem to matter how much tape opposing DC's have to look at; Tez will be wide open in the middle of the field and Gabriel will find him, or Ferg, or Hunter, Sadiq, Holden. Gabriel can run it too. But most of the running will come from JJ and Whittington. Oh yeah, go Ducks!!!! 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Howard has time to stand back there and look around Jeremiah Smith will burn us. He’s a great route runner and catches everything. His running mate isn’t bad either. Hunter? I wish we had him, but he plays for the Buffs. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYDuck No. 4 Share Posted 4 hours ago Agreed. the big guys up front have to make Will Howard question why he got off the bus. He needs to be hit and in that Pasadena dirt CONSISTENTLY. We cannot allow him to survey the field for 5 seconds, move in the pocket, and find Jeremiah for big plays. We need to be in his face from the first whistle. Oblige him. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got one sack on him in the first game, and several hurries, but we're gonna need more than that this time. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastBayDuckDad Moderator No. 6 Share Posted 2 hours ago All of the yapping and posturing is coming from the Tosu side. Pretty much crickets from OBD. Reminds me of a cornered animal arching its back and puffing up it's fur to look bigger. But emotion can carry you only so far. Bucknut seems to have a mixed record with the high emotion approach. The pressure on them and Day to break the Michigan curse resulted in an epic fail. No doubt they wanted to win badly. Pride and a rematch with OBD in the B1G CG was on the line but smart coaching and great defense by Michigan pulled an upset that threatened Day's job. Good for them that they rebounded at home, in an ice box, with a convincing win over an outgunned and vulnerable Tennessee. They had to, since a loss would have resulted in pitchforks and torches in the streets of Columbus, with the heads of Day and the Chipster decorating pikes in front of the 'Shoe' The formula for beating Bucknut is there for the study with two different examples: Outscore them and grind them to a halt. The film on how to beat the Ducks doesn't exist. Throw in the emotional component as a factor, arched back with puffed out fur, and that undeniable sense of Tosu entitlement for good measure. Yes, the teams are evenly matched. It will be a helluva game that will likely come down to a single score. And they do indeed want it soooo bad, to show Oregon who is really the best team in the nation. May they do just that. Go Ducks 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
