A TD WOOT!!!

Good drive. Pretty wet out there.

Well, that was an atrocious first half. But great to put up 7, and we start the 2nd half with the ball.

Let's see how they respond after their behinds are shredded at halftime.

I gota admit its pretty bad day for football.

Obviously a much better drive, Davison should be the featured back, he's the one that is most consistently getting decent yardage. Hill used as a change of pace.

If we have 20 rushes I would be giving 13 to Davison, 5 to Hill and two to Whittington.

This half though is still throughly frustrating to watch, if Wisconsin had a decent QB we would be in major trouble right now.

Just returned from running errands. I know it’s pretty rainy on the field but only 7 points right before halftime? Yikes.

I think Jordan Davison and Dierre Hill are both better than Noah Whittington. I hope the offense keeps running through them.

The offense NEEDS to run through them.

Oregon was down 10-6 at halftime in last year's cheese and quackers game, so maybe this is not so bad.

Wisconsin played us tough in Madison last year. That 99 yard drive was a beauty. Dan Lanning is on track to win the middle eight minutes. GO DUCKS!

Oregon went away from the bunched-in-tight formations on offense, and went to spreading them out with four or five WRs/TEs, so that Wisconsin only had six defenders in the box. Thus our run-blocking took off, and created lanes for Davison in that last drive before half.

That was a good schematic adjustment by Stein, and a confidence boost.

This is a game where I am very grateful for a good defense!

Yes, I love Stein, but sometimes he's just too brilliant for his own good. Too many of, as I called them above, cutsy plays. Just go out and beat a team you are better than by out executing them.

Defensively, sellout to stop the run. Wisconsin will not beat us if they have to pass.

Whittington is fine. Hard to gain yards when you're running into a pile of defenders. Looks like the line blocks harder for them though. Might be a reason to start them. Whittington get his yards when the line blocks for him, however. Nobody was running anywhere in the first quarter.

See everyone... I bad mouth Whittington and he does better!

Oh no... Dante has a broken nose...

Novosad on deck!

Not the way I'd like to see him in the game...

QB down. Now it gets interesting!

Ummmm... so Brock Thomas came in instead of Novosad. I guess he's rocketed up the depth chart

Nice pass from Thomas to Moore.

Stupid penalty.

Great pancakes! Extra splash of syrup!

Live it looked like Harkey blew up that first defender even worse, still a great block, but it's a lot easier when the guy is so scared he's backing away😂

This is called winning the middle eight.

I doubt Thomas is the #2. Novo has already burned his redshirt, but it appears DL isn't allowing teams to scout Novo. I believe the plan is to get Moore into the NFL this year, and Noo assumes the helm.

Pass D is great, Wisconsin not a good pass team though. Run D...🙄

Stupid penalty.

Bad mouth Whit some more, please...

Just as we're (me too) talking about not starting Whittington.

Moore with the circus catch!

Looks like another week - No Charles-Ten Final Score Trophy in my (mostly empty) Trophy Case. I'm blaming the Weather gods! 🤬

Beat the Badgers, and then use the Off Week wisely. Iowa fans may be good to children, but they really hate Gophers, and they don't need a license to go Ducks hunting. 😁

looks like it might be raining in Eugene, but not, ahem at Autzen....

Is this our 4th string QB?

Lanning has said that Brock Thomas earned the snaps he gets by the way he practices.

Oh, I like that running back combination. Davidson and Hill, Davidson leads the way blocking for Hill, big gain! Yes sir!

WILSON!!!!

Love seeing the big fellas get an opportunity!

O Line recruits gotta love seeing O Linemen catching TDs! Lanning making a recruiting pitch in his game plan! 😂

plays well in the games too. 🙂

Is this Thomas's first TD pass?

It might be, I'm not sure.

Wisconsin's first score in 174 minutes, 46 seconds.

I've missed something I believe, why is Moore still out of the game?

Edited 12 hours ago12 hr by BigDog

Well I got the Wisconsin score right anyway. Ducks only need 17 more now, they can do it, I know they can.

Wisconsin's first score in 174 minutes, 46 seconds.

Media - In the third quarter, Oregon quarterback Dante Moore left the field for the medical tent after taking a hit to the head. Moore was struck in the helmet during a tackle, and his nose appeared to be bleeding heavily.   Moore spent about 15 minutes in the tent before emerging with his helmet on. He has yet to re-enter the game.

I will say this, we do have the best mascot in sports.

Weird game overall today, no idea where this team in the grand scheme of things, we should go down in the polls, probably should drop to like #9 or so.

I believe Davidson is now over 100 yards. Great job young man.

Matayo has all but disappeared until now.

This is not a championship team.

Kneel it out and take the W.

I should've put some money on the under in this game.

So very unimpressive. What a disappointment.
