Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

Times sure have changed ... both Head Coaches gone so strange. I get life has changed but makes me miss parts of the days of Rich Brooks and Mike Bellotti. Could you imagine when we got the Rose Bowl against Penn State if Coach Brooks was no show .... if he said "sorry got new job ... can't make it!"

I'd have it ready.... Because I seriously doubt it is going to happen. 

 

But if it does happen have that beer ready to celebrate.

Didn't take too long for Brown to throw an interception. 

 

Yes... The ball could have been caught and bounced off the hands of the receiver but he was also like triple covered and the pass was behind. 

 

Looking forward to better QB passing next year. 

That pass was only slightly behind Thornton, right on the shoulder. That was definitely catchable and is on the receiver.

Literally, anyone is an upgrade from MC on the field.

good plan!!

OU is missing 4 of their front 7, ride Dye and Cardwell the entire game. Best chance for a win. 

Dye Da Man!

Here we go again.  Penalties driving the Ducks in the wrong direction.

 

have i already had too many beers, or is the camera work on this game kinda too close or too far or too wide or too narrow or too shaky?

One observation so far is the offense is playing with more tempo than they have all year for the most part. 

Same story, the offense just can't get out of its own way...

Depends if you are standing or sitting

Lanning has his work cut out for him to fix these red zone penalties.

Poor coaching?

No MC = Playing with more tempo for the Ducks offense

I think that's been established for a while. 

A thrown behind int and a drive killing penalty. I think we've found the Ducks identity.

Defense is doing fine, the offense still needs to clean up silly mistakes. 

No coaching and once again poor qb play that interception was thrown late over the middle. 4 defenders in the area.

That will become the identity of any MC coached team.

They have been holding the whole game!  Finally got called!

first time i've ever seen a facemask turn into a good thing for the defense

Bassa has been great so far

 

two awesome tackles 

D is playing great.

Knute Rockne is shaking his leather head...

A new kicker, #94, Hutchinson? He put that kick after the FG out of the end zone. Where has he been all season?

Really, the TCU game. C'mon

Pull AB. 

Give AB the boot already.  His favorite target is the ground.

AB just can’t make an accurate throw.

Can Brown not throw the ball at receiver's feet? 

 

I know at this point being annoyed and and angry with Brown shouldn't be a surprise or a thing.... But it is still super frustrating to watch. 

Anthony Brown is off again and when he is off, he is not likely to get it together IMHO.

It's time. This offense isn't going to produce. Might as well pull AB. The guy can't throw. Running the ball isn't going to win this game.

When it starts bad for AB…it doesn’t get better. 

You can tell AB is getting antsy to make something happen. When he dies that, he rushes things and doesn't set his feet resulting in those low passes. Ugh. 

They can’t hear my boo for the QB play can they?  

OU is figuring out how to attack the thin DB group. It's now or never for the offense to figure it out. 

This is gonna be worse than the Utah games.  

AB gives us the best chance to drink heavily.

at a certain point, you have to bench a poor performer (AB) even if his replacement is worse. there must be consequences and the rest of the team needs to see that

Not Smart AB.

Troy Franklin didn't even TRY to catch that pass. Wow. 

Looked like Troy Franklin quit on AB.

Troy lost that one in the lights.

OU is starting to play defense the way that is guaranteed to beat Brown... 

 

Sell out to stop the run and challenge Brown to throw it... He will fail at passing and job is done.

Not sure he saw it.

There’s no Mario anymore to get mad at you, JoMo.

 

Put in another QB. Why not?

 

I ‘d rather lose in a new way, than in the same old exasperating way.
