Babyjesus615 No. 2 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I don't buy it. Speaking in hindsight about your commitment to Oregon is very easy and expected if you are Dilly; no one would know otherwise. Do I believe he was committed to the Ducks until the second he walked out of Reser? Absolutely. However, only a robot could sit in the box while calling a game and not have thoughts of a new head coaching gig, getting introduced in 24 hours, meeting players, etc... At least he didn't give up on his team like Cristobal did when he found out 2/3 of the way through the season that he was going to bail 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUCati855 Moderator No. 3 Share Posted January 4, 2023 That article also doesn't clarify when the players found out. There was a night and day difference in effort after halftime. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noDucknewby No. 4 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) Of course he had to be thinking about ASU at times, but it's a pretty ridiculous take to think that cost us the loss to the Biebers or the Fuskies. We scored enough points in both of those games to win--if blame must be laid, then it falls on the defense. Washington didn't punt once the entire game if I remember correctly and in the CW our defense couldn't stop a vanilla rushing attack that didn't throw a pass the entire fourth quarter. That said, laying blame is just counterproductive. KD makes for a convenient scapegoat, but's that's just doesn't reflect the reality of our two conferences losses.

1Ducker1 No. 5 Share Posted January 4, 2023 We can all blame who we want but our D @ Beavers was terrible and the same could be said for most of the game against the Fuskies. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
