I think I've figured some things out... Going to be in my Monday article. Regardless of the PSU outcome.

This is my big question as well. Indiana knew this last year. Oklahoma State this year, perhaps Boise State as well. Why did our position coaches as well as Offensive Coordinator and Head Coach not know this?

In the late 70's, when Dan Fouts was QB at San Diego and Charlie Joiner was his main target, Dan would lick his fingers on this passing hand every time it was a pass play. He was thus tipping off the defense as to what was coming. The difference between Dan and Dante is that Dan was doing it on purpose. (It was usually a pass play anyway.) The Chargers offense put both Don Coryell and Dan Fouts in the hall of fame. It was potent even when the defense knew what was coming. The reason DF licked his fingers before every pass play was to deceive defense. When they really needed a first down in a key game... Dan Fouts didn't lick his fingers (signaling run) and would then pass the ball to a receiver who got separation on a corner that was sleeping on him because it was "going to be a run". Ducks did not lose because Dante was signaling pass or run to the defense. They lost because, in spite of the fact that the defense knew what was coming, Dante simply misfired on some easy passes when the receiver was wide open on third down. They lost because often the execution was poor. They also lost because our defense (which has nothing to do with Dante) failed to stop their offense. Imagine the difference in the game if the coaches and Dante knew that he was telegraphing the play... only to send a deceiving signal 3 or 4 times during the fourth quarter. It didn't happen, sadly, because apparently they weren't aware.

I want to see do-your-thing-and-don't-worry-about-the-guy's-assignment-next-to-you. Cuz, if he doesn't do his, someone else will/should be next to you. P.S. Amari, play through the whistle not before it.

Kinda makes you want to scratch your head?

I wrote an article with that title... that was the game we sacked Washington's QB 10 times! And 3/4 of that defensive line that did that to Washington in 2024 is still on the freaking team!

I completely agree that PSU is a way for OBD to get some confidence back and they "should" win this game handily. Here is my concern: While this game may get some things right on both sides of the ball, it is against a significantly less opponent then what they will face next week. I hope that this game doesn't provide a false sense of security should OBD do to PSU what most of think they will. I would have loved to have seen this as our first game, then BSU, the OSU....but nobody texted or called from the UofO front office to seek my opinion.

How in the world did the Duck coaches NOT see this. Who is the QB coach? This is inexcusable.

"It's time to kick z@#." Thank you for cleaning that up, Charles.

I know what I see and what I saw wasn't pretty. The Ducks have face-planted a number of times over recent years in big televised games and they have yet to figure out a way to overcome that tendency. This latest example could well have been the nail in their reputational coffin. Unless they figure out a way to pull out of this latest tailspin and start winning decisively and looking like the powerhouse many of us were expecting to see this year, the entire program is going to suffer lasting damage. The hell with the fancy new practice facility, gentlemen. I'm hoping the coaches have what it takes to reverse this troubling pattern of blowing it at big moments. Supposedly we have the talented players. But we're not seeing that translate into the kind of intensity and consistent winning that establishes a school as one of the blue bloods of college football. From my perspective we aren't there yet. It's time to kick butt.

Oregon!!! 52 – 10 2 turnovers 4 sacks 225 passing yards

What has been said, has been said. The talking heads have had their field day deconstructing the Ducks. Fans have done the fan(atics) thing. Friday night lights against a local non con "whippinghorse" will fade ALL of this last weeks "trauma" as this weeks storylines give everyone something else to talk/fret about. Long row to hoe now but it starts tonight. Tough, focused, mistake free execution. Then do it all over again for 9 more games. Lift your heads from tasks at hand on Thanksgiving and see if there is any OBD football worth remaining to play! 🤔 GO DUCKS!!!!

As the "NEW" 10 game season is upon us my prediction for game one against PSU is.... DUCKS WIN 56-9 2 PSU T.O 4 Sacks 303 Yds Pass (Dante 250+, restoteam 53) (And I'm sticking with the 10 game reg season in my "fan"atics mind) 🤪
