Trying to decide what is more shocking for Ex-Ducks: Byron Cardwell’s 5 carries for -4 yards against Youngstown State. Or Justin Flowe being 3rd string on UNLV’s depth chart. Yikes!

Both things can, and I hope are true. As Dr. Hilarius stated

A colleague of mine knows one of the coaches at PSU and was saying they've improved a lot this off season... But still a long way to climb.

Lanning will run it up as much as he can in the first 2.5 quarters and then he'll let the reserves out. And I say he'll run it up not out of a vindictive desire to embarrass but to give his ones practice of playing full speed in a game. Half way through the third if the score is lopsided the ones are coming out entirely. Lanning doesn't care about the spread. He'll get his reserves in to see what they can do.

I will say, I used to love watching the Ducks at the Coliseum because they have fantastic nachos. 🤷‍♀️

USUC lost the 2nd half 26-14.

I want to see the 2nd and 3rd stringers come in and dominate in the 2nd half. According to sources, OR has a blue chip roster rate of 83% or #4 in FBS. Boise St has a blue chip rate of 1%, good for #84. If our backups don’t dominate, even against their starters, we have a problem.

Maybe they are still practicing "social distancing"? Maybe they are trying to boost live stream viewership? Maybe their fan base didn't know today was game day? Whatever the reason, I bet DL and his staff fielded a few recruit calls today!

Come on, Man! You can't see 40,000 cardinal colored tee shirts blending in with the robust cardinal-colored seats. What, are you blind? 🤪 According to Delta Force, camouflage helps you Fake On!🥸

In fairness, it was 88 degrees and 60+% humidity in UVA's sold-out Scott Stadium.

OBD had more fans at the Spring game. 54,000? At least 44,000 were disguised as empty seats. This looked like way back in the day: Bowdoin vs Colby, with three dozen or so canines missing from the sidelines, and a half dozen kegs missing from the stands. As I noted in another post: Way to rep the big ten. And these guys get a full share? 🤮

Limit injury potential on starters when game is out of reach, and develop reserves and younger players. Build up the true freshmen that have shined in camp to get experience in games. Some of them sound like potential starters or major rotation players by later in the season. Need to keep starters fresher for a 16 game schudule

Typo on the "official attendance ". 5114 at best

The "official attendance" was 51,144. Yes, that's the official box score. There is no freakin way that many people showed their tickets at the turnstiles. It was warm. It was SJSU. But, it was the home opener with roster and assistant coach changes. Those photos looked like recent snapshots at the Rose Bowl when UCLA had struggling attendance. Wonder if there were any recruits that Oregon is pursuing who were taking an official visit?

The cost of the least expensive ticket kept many away.....$9. LOL. In fairness....it was over 90 degrees in a stadium with no shade. Playing a bad team. When they play Oregon it will be packed. Of course the game may be over by half time.

Early report is the 21-pt comeback is biggest in Cal-Davis history, surpassing an 18-pt deficit comeback at Montana in 2018, then trailing 21-3 at half-time. Davis also trailed by 19 at half vs N. Arizona in 2012 and Davis won. You gotta ache a bit for Portland State... Davis has been on the other end of it. Davis led N. Dakota State 24-0 at half in 2006, but lost.

Maybe we can have both?

PSU led 21-0 at half-time in Hillsboro over FCS No. 6 Cal-Davis. Final: Davis 31-24 after second half rally, and TD with 27 secs. remaining. Last TD helped by PSU defensive lapses and PSU personal foul giving Cal-Davis great field position late. PSU schedule: Cal Davis at San Diego St North Dakota at Oregon

USCs 2nd team is horrible. It will be interesting to see how Oregons 2nd unit looks, how much drop off. With all the hype around Oregon, sure hope they can start pulling the 1s early 3rd. Dan will pull them for sure.

I have a Duck-Buddy who wondered what the majority of us Oregon fans were thinking on this issue--if the game goes well for the Ducks....do we think Dan Lanning will run the score up on Boise State to make a national statement of which can help us as the season progresses? Or do we think he will not, and use this opportunity to play the reserves, and get them some playing time at game-speed? Fox Crader I vote for him playing the reserves, because we MUST build depth. It is a long season, and we need the great young talent to get confidence in a game, and thus be ready to start later. Fox Crader gave himself, the coaches, and the fans great confidence with his play in the USC game last year, but he gave us glimpses in earlier games when he came in briefly. Which do you choose? Both help the team one way or the other...

SPOILER ALERT - Scores of games appear below. UNC 15 - TCU 10 - Instead of this game, it's a toss-up whether I'd rather watch two guys fish for guppies or paint dry. The difference between playing at Harvard and TCU: QB Jaden Craig's receivers at Harvard could catch the football. SJS at USC - How to represent the Big Ten Trojans: I believe OBD had twice as many fans attend the Spring game. Yes, it was 92 degrees at KO, but at KO for NC State at UVA it was 86 with 60% humidity, and the stadium is sold out.
