Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted December 29, 2022 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!

MikeJ No. 21 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Ugh. I don't know why we didn't run it there. They haven't been able to stop the run, we have 45 sec, 2 timeouts left, and have 2nd and about 5 from the 15 or so. Why put it at risk. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Ducker1 No. 26 Share Posted December 29, 2022 We get the ball first but we have to tighten up 3rd and 4th down defense. Also RUN WHAT WORKS!! Run it till it doesn't work-take a lesson from Jonathan Smith.!!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeJ No. 27 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I agree Smith72, that one really frustrated me because I'm literally talking at my TV set before that play that we need to just run it again. They couldn't stop the run. We had 2 timeouts and 40 sec left, 2nd and 5 from their 16. Just don't put it at risk. Heartbreaking. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Ducky No. 28 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Not sure why they are making a 3 yard pass in the red zone with time running down when you are averaging over 25 yards a run play. Very confusing to me. Once again our pass defense is letting us down. Still got the second half to turn this around. They have a stud at QB that’s for sure. He is pitching dimes all over the field. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OregonDucks No. 29 Share Posted December 29, 2022 This team is a good, not great team. The defense cannot make a stop on 3rd or 4th down, and for some reason they are not giving the NC QB respect with his ability to scramble. We need a complete overhaul of our defense. Unless we get more proven transfers, unfortunately, it could take a couple of years. Hope Oregon's offense can continue to put up points because we are going to need it to win. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is the defense still has the same problems it has had all year long. I doubt there is much they can really do to actually fix these problems right now. Well there probably are some ways of doing it but are you going to do it without three starters? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The play calling has been pretty bad too... no Dillingham is really showing right now. I do feel Lanning did the right thing going for an outside hire. Nix is also not running which is hurting us as well but no need to risk him re-injuring an ankle for a bowl game. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
