Some more information about our Beavis poster.....he joined this forum the day we lost to Oklahoma State. Just like a Beavis... But Then His Team Loses to Fresno State and Texas State?

He is a second or third round NFL pick, and he DOES have a fifth year to return if he wants to.

I agree with this above, but resting players runs risk of losing games and losing seeding. Just being seeded as high as possible can mean the difference in how far you go in the Playoffs, IMHO.

A new poster is massively negative when we lose, and when we win....it is luck? Sounds like a Beavis!

No, after looking at his posting history since he joined us this fall…it becomes evident that he is a Beavis, and joined to troll us. He won’t be posting any more…

oregold, I will refrain from writing what I was thinking in response to you, since I have to follow my own rules. Watch some of the analysis videos at the top to understand what Oregon did right, or....are you just trying to troll us?

I politely disagree with you both; the regular season will have TONS more teams interested and shooting for a Playoff spot, and it will make a bunch of close games crucial for all parties involved. With the SEC bias, it helps to have more space in the Playoffs for more Big-10 teams to get into it. Make the top eight and have a Playoff home game? Cool!

Thanks so much, as I will view it tonight!

And no conference championship games anymore....as the each conference will determine their formula for the conference champion. Four conference champions, 19 at-large teams, and the best Group-of-Six team. This will make the regular season have some spicy games....

Scoreboard!

Here we go....Sco Ducks guys, and as good as the first video is--these guys add other knowledge and great stuff. The change of attitude on offense to "attacking" is huge! You will love learning from them....

What we read often is how the Oregon offense originally was trying to be high-percentage, take few risks and diminish the turnovers under Mehringer. It is a reason for all the short passes downfield and sideways.... Then Johnson turned things mentally with the offense to an "attacking" mode, and they clearly are throwing the ball more aggressively downfield and scoring more because of it. Dak Moore described this in an interview over the weekend, and the shift mentally is miles different than from before. I was also curious to see how we would attack the Ohio State Zone Pass Defense, because we beat man-coverage well in the Northwestern game, so I expected to see a ton of zone. As you know, I was not sold on Johnson taking over, but we are seeing great changes. In fact I cannot recall such a transformation on offense at Oregon, and so fast. Johnson had the receivers finding holes in the zones, sitting in them, and getting good first down yardage and lots of YAC. He had them prepared to attack those zone pass defenses... Any of you notice those quotes and more?

This is really good, as twice I noticed that the Buckeyes lined up wrong before plays that resulted in touchdowns scored by Oregon, but this eleven minute video explains WHY. How Oregon's Offense OUTSCHEMED Ohio State

The good news is that a full game video will be available on YouTube anytime now…

As you know, the final score was 41-28, and the winning prediction by Jemangi was 38-27, only four points off! I thought everyone who predicted Oregon to win was brave, but to win by this margin? To have a dominating 38-14 lead in the 3rd quarter? Not what any of us saw, but for Jemangi, and I certainly congratulate his foresight. Way to go Jemangi! Not the Same Celebration for Buckeye Fans....

No sacks given up to Ohio State is great, but run-blocking has a checkered result. Some great, some awful.... They are continuing to improve, but we are not "there" yet, IMHO. But they could be by postseason time!

So we've scored 34 and 41 points a game since Johnson took over as OC...

Let's get the discussion going....I am still speechless considering how good the team looked after the first quarter, compared to how bad they looked in previous losses....wow!

Let's start the after-game discussion, as I am now going to watch the entire game over again! We have had QUITE an uptick of points being scored since Coach/Analyst/OC Interim Johnson took over....

The post above is a great example of what I have been referring to…

Let's discuss the game before and during, here in this thread with fellow intense Oregon fans. 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 normal and fine, so enjoy the game!

Amen, business brother…

It is that time of the week again to have fun with our game prediction contest! Guesses on other threads don't count--only those here, and only those entries completely filled out with the tiebreakers are valid entries. Let's have fun with it as we have so many years in the past... Let me know: --Which team wins: --Score: --How many turnovers created by Oregon? --How many sacks of the opponent by Oregon? --How many passing yards by Oregon? My prediction of Oregon vs. Ohio State: Oregon 27-24 2 3 292

OUT: QB Dante Moore RB Jordon Davison WR Messiah Hampton TE Andrew Olesh OL Dave Iuli OL Trent Ferguson DL Matthew Johnson S Aaron Flowers LB Brayden Platt PROBABLE: WR Jeremiah McClellan NOTES: -Olesh makes his first appearance of any kind on the availability report. -McClellan hasn’t played since the Oklahoma State game on September 12. He broke his foot in warmups ahead of the Portland State game on September 18 and was seen doing light movements/warming up on the field ahead the Northwestern game. He did not dress out in helmet, pads, etc. -RB Dierre Hill Jr. is not listed after not playing in the second half with an undisclosed injury against Northwestern. -Hampton will miss his third straight game following his arrest on Friday October 30 stemming from an October 18 incident. McClellan Could Be Big for First Downs!

I’ve done that before, and people broke the deal and the venom carried over to other threads. Then when I call it out? I’m the bad guy for reminding them of what they agreed to. So, I am sorry, but no need to try that again. We are the only civilized forum out there, so let’s keep it that way!
