They are the only Washington Football team, really.

Figueroa was huge the last two games, his timely 3's stand out. But, as you mentioned, he and Omoruyi are just demonstrating the veteran presence, along of course with Duarte. It definitely shows up at the end of games.

We'd have to get used to saying that, but this article explains how Marcus could end up playing for the Washington Football Team, from NBC Sports Northwest

Arizona crumbles under Oregon's pressure at the end again, recap from GoDucks.com

Duarte with the dagger

That was a brilliant play, and another example of why Oregon has beaten Arizona in 9 of the last 11 games. The Ducks make plays. Oregon has Dana Altman, Arizona has Sean Miller. It used to be that Arizona had a talent advantage over Oregon, that isn't the case anymore. Duarte scored 18 in the first half against ASU, 0 in the 2nd half, and for quite awhile didn't have many in this one, until the 3 that put the Ducks on top. Eugene from Eugene had another strong game, as did LJ Figueroa, who has found a 3 point shot in the last two games. These are the Ducks we've come to know under Altman, getting it done when it counts the most.

Herbert in the NFL, Pritchard in the NBA, have to check and see if any school has had consecutive ROTY's that Oregon could have with these two.

"Next man up is next men up when it comes to who will be the starting quarterback at Oregon after Tyler Shough entered the transfer portal. This article from sportspac12.com looks at the contenders.

Absolutely, their top recruit was a legacy, two other highly ranked in-state players went elsewhere, JTT will. But yes, the Dogs have their Huard, and will have to play road games in 2021. Bow Wow.

With Tyler Shough entering the transfer portal, the competition for the starting quarterback at Oregon got a lot more interesting. This article from NBC Sports Northwest breaks down the contenders.

Utah and Whittingham is the opposite of ASU and Herm, and I think the success of the two programs bear that out. Utah has over-exceeded expectations since they joined the Pac-12, Utah is THE team you look past at your peril. Whittingham is a great fit there, and I don't think that Utah ever needed to worry about him leaving for another job.

This, and the rest of your post is what I thought when Herm got the job, the success he has had at ASU have exceeded my expectations.

It is, but as David mentioned earlier, it does narrow the competition which could prove to be beneficial, Best of luck to Tyler and to the quarterbacks who will be competing for the starting position.

Payton announced that he owned Seattle last season, and after their win over the Huskies there earlier this season, it's still under Oregon's ownership. Now, Payton has added Toronto. From NBC Sports Northwest

For you, Gar

This is really a great article David in how it points to just how important a coach and the culture is to a team. Mario is not perfect, but we can all see what he has developed at Oregon and where he's leading it. Helton has yet to build a culture at USC, and now he's hung his hat on, "Air Raid". An offense, that WSU, the most disadvantaged school in the conference used. Leach never won the North at WSU, never finished in second place, but at least their quarterback throwing 70 passes a game for 600 yards, in a loss, got the Coug's on SportsCenter. If Helton, at the most Advantaged school in the Pac-12 really wants to go that way, I say, "Yay!".

It was a game time decision for Chris Duarte, and it turned out to be a good one. Duarte hit the first shot for the Ducks, scored 5 of the first 8. He finished the half with 18, more than half of the 35 the Ducks scored, while holding Arizona State to 28. Duarte didn't score in the second half, but he had plenty of teammates to pick up the slack. Duarte and Omoruyi finished with 18, Figueroa, 16 and Richardson 15, completed the double figure scoring for the Ducks. Figueroa, finished, 4-7 on 3's, Duarte, 4-8, Richardson, 3-6. The Ducks hit42,4% overall, 40.0 overall, the Ducks really moved the ball well, finishing with 22 assists. ASU, for whom only Remy Martin, 30, finished with double figures, had 13 assists.

If you go back 50 years, Washington might have more wins.

I'd like to meet Franck too.

Well, as the article pointed out, the notables of Washington's recruiting was getting a legacy to come in at quarterback, but even more, the two extremely highly rated in state players who already left, and the best one that will later.

He played a season high 15 minutes in the win over the Huskies, scored 8 points, picked up two rebounds and blocked two shots. You can learn some more about Franck Kepnang in this article from GoDucks.com

Depth is always good. Softball pitching and relieving is much different from baseball. I'm still not sure of all the rules, but, while in baseball once a pitcher is removed he can not return to the game, a softball pitcher can be removed, and she can return to the game. I don't think a pitcher can be removed for one batter, but that's about it. Mike White had great starting pitching, and didn't use many of these relieving rules. Cheridan Hawkins, Megan Kleist, Miranda Elish, were rarely taken out at all. In 2019, Lombardi didn't pull Jordan Dail very often, but she was pretty much the only pitcher that team had! It will be great to see How Lombardi handles this deep pitching staff.
