I am curious as to what others want from the team in this game against Beavis? Sure, win handily, get the young-guns some playing time....but what would YOU sell the team on in preparation for this game?

My theme would be "Precision," as we want great technique applied, and when done--the results will be great stops on defense, and great blocks that create explosion running plays. Precision on running passing routes, precision in delivering the ball...thus it is not outcome-based, since we know where that is going, but based instead on the process?

Thoughts?

No penalies on both offense and defense - Again!

Crispness

Play clean like we did last week. But this week we play to our standard. We didn't do that last week!

Improved run defense. We shouldn't need run support from the secondary unless the numbers dictate it. Gap control, beating blocks, setting the edge, staying low, and improved tackling where the pile doesn't keep falling forward for 2-3 extra yards.

Save the stunts for next week.

Dominate LOS on both sides, particularly in the run game. Be efficient and minimize penalties. Don't show much to Penn St. Keep everyone healthy.

Am I asking for too much? 🙂🦆

Hang a hundred on those dirty rats!

No punts! Score on every drive.

Against the completely putrid Beaver running game....

< 3.0 ypc. No rushing score.

GO DUCKS.

Cover Me!

(No injuries, please.)

Beaver fan (after the game)..."What's the fastest way back to Corvallis"?

Duck fan..."Just keep going downhill".

Disciplined execution.

I expect a base gameplay with Dan challenging the team to beat the Beavs in the trenches straight up with power and speed.

No need to get fancy. Basic blocking and tackling to wilt an inferior opponent over time.

Great question Charles, I don’t think that whatever I say will stand up to the standard coach Lanning has. I have to remember that the starters have yet to surrender a touchdown.

I would love it if the younger subs could play up to the starter standard but that’s just my druthers. If anything I would like to see the O-line play to the normal Oregon standard which they haven’t to this point in the season (and they still haven’t given up a sack).

The level of play that this team has show. Has blown the roof off of any expectations that I had preseason, so it’s hard to adjust realistically as to who or what this team is. Beat the Beavs, cover the spread, no injuries is about as good as I can ask. Go Ducks!!!

Huh?

Too much.

I'll go with -yards rushing...

Embarrass them so badly that they never schedule another game with the Ducks. Not interested in going to the game, and giving away my tickets this week.
