Posted October 22, 20222 yr Administrator Here we are my friends, the thread for discussing the actual game as it happens. Let's discuss before, and during the game! The vast majority of you are GREAT in this thread, but you must remember that this forum is different, as we require civilized discussion. Rule No. 31d covers GameDay thread conduct, and it is not hard for the vast majority of us--just a tiny few who need to reign it in. Let's Have Fun Posting During the Game! Mr. FishDuck
October 22, 20222 yr Author Administrator Some items to watch for in this game? Read my article published this morning for three tasty tidbits to keep an eye out for... Will Dillingham Surprise UCLA...With a Chip Kelly Play? FISHDUCK.COM There are some interesting items to watch for in this game today against UCLA, as if there was not enough drama associated with this Pac-12 showdown. Mr. FishDuck
October 22, 20222 yr It's true that it never rains in Autzen Stadium, but as the old song says, "It pours... Man it pours." This should be a great game with Oregon coming out on top. With the weather today, it will likely come down to whoever can hang onto the ball. Turnovers are certain to play a big factor today. I'm glad for Chip Kelly and the success he is finally having again. I will be forever grateful for the ride he led us on for those four exceptional consecutive years, and the way he changed the face of college football forever. Those were very heady times for our program -- and under Lanning, I think they may be coming back (and what a difference six or so weeks make)! However, today, I hope we kick the ever loving stuff out of Kelly and send him back to Westwood with his tail between his legs 🙂 . Edited October 22, 20222 yr by Desert Duck
October 22, 20222 yr The Weather Channel now says it's not likely to rain during the game. I think a heavy rain would have benefited the Ducks more. But who knows. Should be a whale of a game!
October 22, 20222 yr Is it my hotel or is the Fox feed glitchy for everyone else? I've missed half the plays so far

October 22, 20222 yr Moderator I love Justin Flowe's aggression and tenacity but a lot of times it works against him because he's *too* aggressive. He had that UCLA player dead to rights one on one behind the LOS and couldn't finish the tackle because he was way too amped up. If he dialed it down 10% he would've gotten it.
October 22, 20222 yr Hopefully now they know UCLA came to play and the game will be won on the field. Knuckle down and focus and we will be okay].
October 22, 20222 yr Need to turn those deflections into picks. Turnovers will be key to winning this one

October 22, 20222 yr It don’t get no better than that! SSWWEEEEETT!!! Edited October 22, 20222 yr by PittDuck
October 22, 20222 yr Let’s hope for some defensive adjustment that will get the “O” back on the field right away.
