Where it all adds up. GO DUCKS!
This is five months from the start of the season. I’m writing this in early April. I am looking at comments from coaches at this snapshot in time and it kinda shocks me. It’s reflective of stupidity county-wide opinion. First let’s look at the quote from Dabo Sweeny, Coach out at Clemson. “zero doubt that …
Justin Herbert ran for three touchdowns as the Oregon football team won the Rose Bowl on Wednesday, 28-27 over Wisconsin. There were smiles a mile wide. Eyes red with emotion. Even, wafting up from a couple corners of the Oregon locker room, jubilant puffs of cigar smoke. All of that and more was on display …
Memories of 2012 as No. 6 Oregon will face No. 8 Wisconsin in the 106th edition of the Rose Bowl, and let’s hope the outcome is similar. The Ducks (11-2) and Badgers (10-3) are regular New Year’s Day visitors to Pasadena: Wisconsin is in the Rose Bowl for the fourth time in 10 seasons, albeit …
No news here, just a observation, Oregon is no longer a contender for the College Football Playoff and while it’s not completely out of the realm of possibility, upsets on an unprecedented scale would need to happen over the next two weekends for the Ducks to be considered for college football’s final four, but need …
Honestly the 4 team playoff makes my head spin with the many permutations that could happen with the Iron bowl and SEC playoffs around the corner. As I see it, there are 3 locks. Undefeated Clemson who has nothing standing in their way (that’s 1) Big 10 Champion (Ohio State or Minnesota will slug it …
The plan coming in for the Cougar defense was to limit Oregon’s explosive and chunk plays. Good plan but then CJ Verdell showed with all time record rushing numbers. Herberts touchdown (per game) TD throwing game stat ended, and I understand why (ball control and heavy run game). Our Defense showed up when needed and …
It started with the O line that blasted the Washington front allowing the effective run game that worked like novicane. Hit it enough over and over you may not feel it at first but in the end, the work will get done. Oregon did give up that one downfield pass, and that HAS to be …
OK, Strong offensive line against our baddass Defense. Their Offensive line is one of the best in the PAC. I’d say the strongest we’ve seen this year so a real test for our Defense. Can we get to Eason enough to rush him enough to affect his comfort? Can we put the Huskies in third …
A few concerns I noticed heading into league play that may not be of any concern at all, but maybe you noticed it too. Conversions. Oregon converted on third down at its best rate, so far this season, in its route of Montana. That said, in looking at our game against Montana last week, the …
All I can say is WOW, on both sides of the ball. I was especially impressed with the Oregon defense, which, if not for a live ball during punt return and short field, the Ducks probably would have kept the score to 77-3. With a field goal kicker with a long leg like the Wolf …
