Neb needs to run the ball. Need to eat some clock

Funny how the Nebraska defender managed to dive over Hoover on that QB slide...

Give 'em a Bruisin'!

One can only hope DL's recent visit to the doctor (Seahawks HC Macdonald) allowed for an accurate diagnosis and an even more effective treatment plan. Go Ducks!

Nebraska defense doing a commendable job keeping IU in check. Before the season started I also expected Hoover to not be anywhere near as effective as Mendoza was. So far that's been showing as true.

I am back to picking OBD.... although I DID pick against them last week and they won. My superstitious nature is having a field day with this. But here goes: Ducks Win 42-21 2 turnovers 3 sacks 287 passing yards

Let's discuss the game before and during, here in this thread. Being critical of coaching decisions and player performance is FINE, as that is what we do in a forum. But do not get personal towards the players, coaches, or fellow OBD forum members. But being angry, joyous,....all of it is fine. I hope you can enjoy the actual game! GO DUCKS, FLY HIGH!!MAKE THE BRUINS CRY UNCLE!!

The only team IU has played with a pulse is Chips NU. They got exposed in that game. IU fan was a little salty after Chip almost beat them.

The B1G is a puzzle this year.

I don't think this is a Hampton issue. I am barely scratching the surface. Trust me, this has been a problem for Lanning's entire tenure. For instance, the very first play of the Rose Bowl Ohio State introduced a play that directly exploited Lupoi's strategy. It was deliberate. It took advantage of tendencies. It took advantage of natural coverage conflicts inherent in Lanning and Lupoi's scheme. It was only the beginning because Chip correctly diagnosed everything OBD would do in most situations. In other words, this is a fundamental issue teams have been drawing up to take advantage of what Oregon presented "naturally".

Nebraska up 10-3. N Missed a fg going into the half. Dominating the stat sheet. Nebraska is 8-11 on 3rd down. Played a great first half. IU ball to start the 2nd half.

Yep - the Nebraska game will be a big challenge. Got to get past UCLA first. I hope our health is better than rumored today.

I would agree if Cover 1 didn't leave a an area of coverage that is akin to covering all of North America given the way our Safeties cover. The issue is the CBs have to cover the entire field, and that was a weakness OBD exposed themselves in the Spring Game this year. That group is elite, but nobody can cover each type of deep route when the area they have to cover to their right and left. I agree with mixing coverages. That lowers predictability. That has been a problem for years frankly.

I’m shocked, but by no means unhappy, that Coach Fisch’s UW team is this bad in his 3rd season.

That's what we're here for. Running the ball is UCLA's strength. The Bruins really don't have much team speed, and they have struggled early against all four of the opponents they faced. It is why I am not concerned about this game. I wanted to cover some fundamental issues in the area that is killing us the most. There are flaws defending the run, just not as much a concern this week because I don't believe UCLA has the kind of talent to threaten OBD in this game. I also believe bringing another defender in the box completely solves most of the issues defending both types of attack. It also presents more problems with pass coverage given the issues I discussed above.

Bad snap kills a Neb drive before it gets started. Nebraska looks like the better team so far.

10-3 Neb right now. Husker got a stop and has the ball early 2nd. Good game so far. Crowd is ridiculous. Oregon has this Nebraska team next week. They are playing great early in this game

Just another SEC excuse.

Sad to say, but beginning to look like the new civil war will be Ewedub and Beavis when Washington rejoins the pac12.

Do you have a link. I haven't found anything about a flu bug going around the Oregon football team. I don't think this is true.

UW -3 net yards rushing on the night might be my favorite part. I mean, other than the final score, of course.

Ducks win 42-30 2 TO’s 3 Sacks 268 passing yards

Ok I laughed way too hard at this 🤣

Stay with it Mike. You did good. Looking forward to more and watching you grow over the next few months.

It's that time of year. My wife and I made sure to get our flu/covid vaccines because schools are petri dishes every Fall.
