Here we are my Duck-Buddies, the thread for pondering the actual game as it happens.  Let's discuss before, and during the game!

I have made a major change in how we will moderate our GameDay threads. Bottom line, is that you will be allowed to spew your frustration, to vent, as you wish.

But Note the Parameters:

--This is for GameDay threads only; you have to behave in the regular forum threads as in the past.

--You cannot take shots at those who disagree with you, just like in the forum during the week.

Remember how we discussed this upfront in this thread.

Let's Have Fun Posting During the Game!

ESPN GameDay has some epic moments, with more coming in the game as Eugene is sunny and bright today!

It’s been awhile my Duck friends. It feels good to be back! GO DUCKS!!!

I hope the Oregon defense chooses violence today.

Sweet 75 yard drive & TD for SC. Piece of cake.

The penalty on us was almost the equivalent of an Oregon turnover.

Going to be along day if the coverage of Lane doesn't improve.

I don't know who it was but they were pretty slow getting off the field.

Well, That was easy. I hope we score each time we have the ball, and I don t mean field goals.

D looks very slow

Mixon on Lemon is a horrible ideas must have been a busted coverage.

Ridiculous

If our defense continues to play like a sieve, we're going to need it.

Not a great start by the defense. Had three 3rd downs and failed to stop them.

Our offense needs to play well.

We will need to get pressure on the USC QB or it will be a long day.

Got outschemed on the TD. I hope the offense is more ready than the defense..please no three and out.

That penalty where we didn't get off the freaking field in time was brutal.

Whelp let's hope we don't start slow on offense which has been a pattern.

Edit: they didn't! 🦆

YES! There drive was easy, ours was even easier.

Okay... I'd call that a reasonable response 😆

We need our linebackers seriously step up today, or this is going to be one long shootout.

You have to contain the USC QB. He is mobile and is good throwing on the run.

Maybe this will be a game like the 2012 Oregon-USC matchup at the Coliseum?

McClellan is dinged up. Ugh.

First defense to figure it out wins the game.

I hope we blitz a LB or safety on this 3rd and long.

The November war of attrition is in full swing. We are best equipped to handle it. Lowe is next man up at WR. He was in the 2 deep last year, and should be even better now.

This is starting to remind me of the national championship game against Ohio State. Getting ridiculous.

Nice stop by the D.

I guess USC is having the same issue on the OL.

Are they down to only Benson, Perry, and Lowe at WR?

If they are looking for a middle aged man who can run 6.0 40, and can catch just over 50% of passes, I’m available…

I don't see how USC wins this game. They are down too many important players on the O-Line and at safety. Maiva is going to be constantly pressured, and his stats are really bad under pressure.

Oh heck, I’m middle aged and can do all that, and I’m also 5’8” as an added benefit. Well, maybe not quite 50% of passes, but dang close to 50%. 😂

I don't know but if our center is out for the game, or worse,, we could have some serious issues.
