I mean, who knows what he said...

I don't think Oregon has been at their best yet. I think we are going to start seeing Oregons best game week after week as we go through Nov. They have settled on the O line FINNALY! Going into the 3rd game with the same starting five should help. I am not saying they are a great line but they are getting better now. Changing the OC seemed to help. It took a second to get going but the last 32:00 or so was pretty good football. This team has a bunch of talent. They ate the rat poison, died, and seemed to show signs of resurrection last week. Not sure where the ceiling is with this team. I know that last week win felt really good. It looked and felt different. There is a slim hope for this team to make the B1G CG, win it and get into the post season. Untill that's extinguished, I am going to root like crazy for my beloved Ducks. Scoo Ducks

Injury report coming out this Wednesday will be interesting to see who isn't available.

Lincoln Riley is one of the top offensive minds in college football. He schemes players open. I’m not convinced that Oregon will have as much success offensively against Ohio State, unless USC Riola shows up in Columbus. Of course, Oregon’s defense is much better than the Trojan’s but we can’t rely on Ohio State drops. This year’s team is Jekyll and Hyde.

I didn't like wearing white pants that were the same color as the visiting team. Too many white pants! Not good for fans nor good for player recognition in a scrum.

I thought the team took another step forward tonight. Fewer turnovers and lots of assists. Pretty much everyone who played, scored, and they seemed more connected offensively. Their depth and athleticism really showed up. I think there is a lot of potential in this team.

Those jerseys remind me of Conan O'Brian in the year 2000 skits. Maybe its just me. But I am usually very positive about MOST of the other uni combos. These would have been a similar, yet better look. For me, its kind of like Will Stein syndrome: I wasn't so high on it at the time, but when I saw what replaced it, I appreciated what we had back then. These didn't have the colors, but at least they looked like Oregon uniforms.

Some excellent points made about adjustments by the new Offensive Coordinator, and plays broken down...

Ohio St was out of sync. What was glaring were the drops. USC is a lot like Oregon this year. They have good players but are up and down and not reliable. But when they are "on", they can be pretty good. Ohio St did not have the fierce pass rush that top 5 teams usually have. Oregon will need to have its best game of the year just to stay close. But it could happen.

I don't think the O line is great either, but the OC made them look worse than they were. Now that the Ducks have a somewhat sensible OC who kind of knows what he is doing, lets see how the O line does vs OSU and Michigan. There must have been some kind of reason that Lanning did not replace everybody there from the portal.

Montana is one of the teams that is considered most likely to win the Big Sky. An 18-point win is not to be dismissed. I recall a few good Big Sky teams that caused us problems, such as the Idaho team that beat the team with Ronnie Lee and Greg Ballard, and the Kellerman years under Munson.

I think OSU really let all the circumstances get to them in a bad way. Long travel after a bye week, away game rainy when they needed to play from behind passing to win, first full game with the new QB. I think the QB was serviceable as Raiola, just the rest of the team didn't show up. All the penalties, drops, and missed tackles, an all around poorly executed game.

Yes, I remember saying when Dante was injured we would get to see how capable we really were and we struggled to pull away from them, which was honestly a little disappointing at the time, but reflective of our ceiling. Then again, we did what Ohio State could not, beat a highly motivated USC team at home, but I think that was more a case of us playing to our ceiling while OSU played to their floor. I do think our ceiling has an opportunity to continue to improve since the USC game, but unfortunately OSU is next week, and they won't be playing to their floor for a second week in a row at home with their be acks against the wall.

When you look at the USC game and the 2nd half against Northwestern, you see how good this team can be at their best. But, that’s not the real question, which is unbelievably how bad they can be at their worst.

The O-Line is not good. The defensive fronts from Ohio State and Michigan will be the best ones they’ve faced all season. I don’t anticipate a great showing in the next two games.

They seemed to try and simplify the game for their new QB. He made some bad throws but also had some drops. That doesn’t mean he won’t play well against Oregon’s defense this weekend. They’ve yet to beat a backup Freshman QB this season. Furthermore, Raiola played good last week which means he’s due for his bi-weekly slump.

Ohio State's QB1 (Julian Sayin) will still be out with injury for the Oregon game.

I saw about the last 2/3 of the game. tOSU's offense look horrible and their tiny quarterback looked ridiculous. Their D was having a lot of trouble with SUC that night. They didn't look that good to me but maybe it was just a bad game. I'd say Northwestern's offense looked much more challenging to stop. They were going with QB2 the whole game. I don't know if QB1 is back this week or not. If not, I'd say an upset it possible but the Ducks obviously have looked about as up and down as any team in modern history so far so who knows what they'll bring to the fight. If anybody has a good breakdown on how the Buckeyes looked so bad against USC, I'd love to hear it.

We all know that the exhibition match against PSU doesn’t count. So to maintain the symmetry of an every other game win/loss we will need to beat Michigan and the Mutts and lose @ Bucknut and @ Sparty. Then win the Holiday Bowl!!

I also thought the team in white was the ducks a couple times I think we can do better..... but it's kid football players we hope to attract, not me

I think they were at their best against USC. But they’ve always looked a little “off” to me. This is a weird year in college football with no dominant team except, maybe, Miami. So, at their best I think our Ducks were top 10.

Most of us expected a lot more from this version of the Ducks. Then reality struck. This team may be on the verge of correcting serious issues. The players are talented but the coaching and the effort have been greatly disappointing at times. At this point the Ducks are better than mediocre. The intensity I saw in the players in the NW game gave me hope Oregon could win 3 of the next 4 and go 6-3 in the BIG and 8-4 overall. Not great but better than most. Not sure about getting into the playoffs since this season has been a shakeout for most ranked teams. Which has added a lot of excitement to the season.

They were ugly.

We have a ton of new people here, so I want to take a moment to remind everyone that we NEVER write about or make reference to politics in this forum. No matter what you write--you have offended half the people here, and I've been through all of that before....and I will not ever deal with that again. If you write something political, or even hint or imply something political....you will lose posting privileges, the question is only for how long. We are here to discuss Our Beloved Ducks, and that is enough to for us to ponder--let's stay on Oregon Sports! My thanks to you all, Charles If you post political....you'll get sacked!
