Good gosh what a tough game!

I cannot believe all the injuries we had and flourished in spite of it. Your post-game thoughts?

How many uncalled face mask penalties were there?

I hear you, but frankly...I think we get away with a ton of holding. Today was a great "experience" day for our young defensive backs, as they got schooled by some exceptional receivers. It should inspire OUR receivers to go up and bring down the ball-no-matter-what as Lemon and Lane did today.

Never had a doubt. There’s some fan base down south that likes to spout:”The Ducks can’t win the big games.” Hope this one is B1G enough for them.

The refs were definitely calling things like we were on the Pac-12 that's for sure.

I expected a tough game. Ducks did good to stay in front with the lead they built by half time - and that was not an easy task.

They need to coach some new techniques, since some of those PI calls looked like not much interference at times.

This was one those games where the refs had far too much influence on the game. But it went both ways. On to the next one.

We will have to wait and see on the injury front.

Pickard played well enough that risking Poncho probably wasn't worth it. Looked like Poncho was seeing if he could make a go of it at one point.

World I think had a few snaps but they didn't want to risk him.

Harkey went out and came back in.

I think we'll see many players back next week.

Some are complaining about our DB's. USC has a great QB and three great WR's. Unfortunately for USC they have no running game and a weak defense. This was a great win for our DUCKS!

...or they could say, "It wasn't a big game."

Felt like the Pac-12 where breathing on a receiver resulted in a flag. I think several of those PIs the coaching staff looks at and will shrug off because those flags haven't been thrown for the majority of the season.

I think it was just this ref crew.

Glad we won but, boy howdy, will playing like that result in a loss in the playoffs.

Let's see, the line was 9.5 and Oregon wins by 15...

How bout those backup O linemen? They filled in nicely. And how about USC? They did well to come up to Eugene and put up a fight. Even up by 15 late, I didn't feel secure until time actually ran out for good.

I want a strong B1G conference. The SEC has been on top for too long.
