PSU was 0-9 on 3rd. I know its PSU but that is still pretty hard to do as a defense through 60 min. Oregon did it in part with walk-ons for a q. That says a lot about how weak PSU is, but still

Stien goes into College Station and has A&M on the ropes mid 4th up 17. We'll done Coach

It isn't over yet, but lowly Rutgers is running and passing on SC and making it look easy. Were it not for an unfortunate turnover at the end of a long drive the Scarlet Knights would be tied with Riley's troops. Signs that bode well for the Ducks in their upcoming contest.

Great job and good faith in the team.

Good Gosh...JB89 predicted 77-0 when the final score was 84-0, thus was only seven total points off, and the closest anyone else was (Autzen Magic) was 21 points off. I was MILES off, and thus why I congratulate JB89 all the more! Thanks to all for playing, and congrats again to JB89!

aTm goes for it on 4th and 2 from own 33 yard line and gets stopped down 21-7. I guess its not just Lanning going full boneheaded

I will just say I was very impressed.

I thought Raiola looked like a football player last night. He was slinging it and making plays. Scoring td. Love the side arm.

aTm tied with Kentucky at the half. Potential upsets all over the board. Let's hope for so chaos early and often

He was 11-11 with three TD passes in a limited appearance....and looked VERY accurate. More accurate than Moore? Again...there were at least two plays where Dante Moore was throwing to the short field receiver without pressure, while WRs were getting open downfield for big potential gains or touchdowns. Is that Moore's lack of vision, or what he is being told to do? I do not know... With all the receivers open downfield and ignored vs. Oklahoma State....I cannot help but wonder if we would have won that game if Raiola was at QB? Now, I am not asserting that Raiola should replace Moore; Dante has earned his spot, and the damage to him and Oregon would be significant. But if he gets hurt, and when we consider next year--we look good with Raiola.

Noon games are tight. 17-14 SC over Rutgers late in the 2nd. UTEP down 3 to Mich at the half Indiana 7 Western Kentucky 0 late in the second. Duck fans would lose it if Ducks were getting played tight to these teams. Oregon could be in a good spot coming out of a "get right" game. Let's Go Ducks.

Man USC is getting away with redrum. Holding, PI... the B1G is desperate for SC to be viable

I mean... I'll say this. If I wasn't a die hard Duck fan, and didn't want to write an article, I would have turned it off at half time and done something else with the rest of my evening. But I'm a die hard so here we are. And though I said that the score and stats don't matter because it's just PSU, the reality is that I kinda expected PSU to get 14-20 points with the way our defense has been playing. But with the talent differential the standard should be shutout. So seeing the shutout and only 6 first downs allowed meets a reasonable standard for this defense against that opponent. As for the offense I was expecting them to score about 50 with how badly they've been executing the offense.... I didn't expect 48 off the starter by half and another 36 by the second, third and fourth string QBs and company in the second. But I will say they met the standard of what they should have done to that opponent.

Yeah even if it was intentional ground.

Oregon has a lot of issues that were exposed in week one and two. Mostly energy, execution and discipline. I have no problem with Oregon using the full 60 min to exercise those demons and get right. Dan was right using all the live game clock to build his team up and fix what's wrong. Third team players are part of that continued effort. If PSU or any other CFB honk doesn't like it then it'sPSU job to stop it... FEBU! Keep grinding Ducks. Fix the issues. You don't care when others say your the best, no reason to care about anything else they may say.

I thought I saw him holding his chin a little but higher pre-snap on pass plays. Saw the receivers taking a siesta lining up for run plays. Yes, I'm joking. Now that the other teams know, that we know that they know our tells, they won't trust them when they see them. Yes, I'm being serious.

The PSU QB was pretty good at getting rid of the ball quickly.

I was expecting lots more sacks and TFLs against a terribly outmatched PDX team.

Thanks, David. My thoughts: OBD would probably (🤪) be favored to win the Big Sky football championship. Next week, a Blue Chip instead of a No Chip opponent. It was good to see the guys fired up on the field and on the sideline. 84 points? Did the Duck have to go to the Emergency Room? I hope Dan wasn't arrested for animal abuse. 😁 I guess the Vikings need the dues, but how about a 24-team PO, ten conference games, and no FCS opponents allowed? Send Traveler to the Glue Factory!

A friend also told me Oregon's beating of Portland State was bad sportsmanship. But as I see it the Ducks had to deal with a real monkey on their backs. They needed to find the confidence that was almost completely destroyed in the prior week. They needed to prove they are able to operate as an effective team. So, yeah, maybe taking a knee at the end would have taken away some of the criticism aimed at Dan and the team for a 4-quarter beatdown. But not by much. Better to judge the coaches and the team with how they perform next week as a result.

I watched the tape of last night's game and felt like a sadist. After the O disappeared in Austin, Ryan Day wants to do what Dan Lanning did last night. Pile on the points. I have NO problem with Ohio State scoring any and every way the Bickeeys can. The B1G Week 3 slate is sad. Want better OOC games? Go to a 24-team PO.

It was good to see the back ups get their shot. Our QB group is intriguing. I really didn't notice if Dante was faking his foot placement tells to throw people off or not But I did notice that when a pass play was called the pinky on his left hand twitched just a bit. I hope SC wasn't picking that up.

I think you are correct on why you take the shot at the end of the half, practice real game situation. However, I also think Oregon should have taken a knee at the end of our game.

The PSU line only held up for seconds which is why PSU only had 6 first downs... Two of which were Oregon penalties. Otherwise the the PSU QB was just throwing inaccurate balls hoping it worked. Sometimes it did but mostly didn't. Rushing 4 is the root of the problem here I feel. Offensive line plus a tight end blocker is 6 blockers to 4. But you're right containment is the goal. As for the sacks... Moore stepped up and into one sack as a lane opened and he wasn't decisive if he wanted to run. The other sack was on the second string offensive line where Manning didn't hold up and Raiola was sacked. The second one I feel is more on the offensive line than the first. Still not great that it happened.
