Ducks Do It 45-17 3 2 315

I attended a USC game at the Coliseum in 1963. I believe that I knew the other 11 people attending. 😄 That's a huge stadium and has very quiet acoustics. There is also a relatively lack of fan enthusiasm. (It must be that incessant, stupid 'fight' song ... or maybe the horse left a, uh, package on the field.)

I certainly don't foresee an error free game on either side. But I do see a complete change of the O and D-lines in the second half. Our 2nd's are undoubtedly superior and more capable than BSU's 1st's. Ducks will romp by 4 scores and not break a sweat. And humorously, here is a take from one of the main scribes on the Bronco Fan site. Note that he states that if BSU plays error-free, he'll be happy with a blowout game and an ugly score. :) "Boise State at Oregon While I think our o-line is going to be our strength offensively, I'm hard pressed to think of a more stout front seven the Broncos have ever faced. Any offensive effectiveness will entirely hinge on Madsen and our receiving corps making plays. Oregon's offense, fortunately, probably won't be firing on all cylinders--they are breaking in a couple of new 0-linemen, and Moore can experience pretty meh series where our defense can get some stops. Even so, a blow out is very much within the realm of possibility. If we play mistake-free and keep it competitive through the 3rd quarter, I'll be sufficiently content even if the final score is ugly (not unlike our game against Mississippi in 2014)."

Mark Twain has allowed me to edit a bit of his lovely phrase when speaking of the SEC. "There are lies, damned lies, and the SEC." The SEC spokespeople and those at ESPN are trying SO hard to explain away the declining status of the conference as a fog of understanding by the voters. Best of luck, boys. Later, there might even be arguments that a 4-loss Texas team should make the playoffs. Yep. GO DUCKS!

Come on. Of course it's "FUMBLE ... " Last night I cheerily watched Louisville take Mr. Crystalballs to the cleaners when My-Am-I was ranked #2. Beck threw FOUR int's. Happiness. And oh yeah, FUMBLE!

Sorry for the request (and absence) folks. Both my wife and I have been quite ill. I have been among many who were disappointed by last year's Peach Bowl O-line performance. Will somebody please tell me who has been added to the line through the portal and recruiting? And what, if any, do you see improvement over last year's group? My apologies. I know it's lazy on my part (not researching it), but I'm having to get my time here in small chunks. HAPPY 4TH everyone.

Oregon's Biggest Weaknesses That Could Prevent the Ducks From Making the PlayoffThe Oregon Ducks have high expectations entering the 2026 football season, but what are some weaknesses that could hold the team back?

RIP 30Duck. Here's a prayer you have found the embrace of heaven. Thank you for the wonderful eulogy, Charles.

Oh yeah, in the growing list football, uh, gentlemen, and originally from our neighbors in Columbus, here is potentially the result of too much football privilege. (Soon to visit a college town near you.) Former Jets 1st-round pick Darron Lee charged with 1st-degree murder in Tennessee - CenturyLink and lookee here ... NFL player arrests database: Records since 2000 | USA TODAY Databases | USA TODAY NETWORK Yeah, gimme some more of that ol' time NFL.

I'll watch, but I don't know why. I'm no longer a fan of the NFL, though I followed the Chargers for decades. Particularly I am not a fan of Seattle. So, I pick Seattle 0 - NE 0 0 0 0 Good game, boys.

I realize Lou is long of tooth. But I still keep hope for him. My wife was 76 and in hospice care. Now she is back, and while still disabled, is thriving. Good luck Lou. Prayers go up for you.

Fantastic performances by the Hoo Hoo Hooooosiers all season long. I was ecstatic to see them win that hard fought game against (my hated) Hurricanes. Congratulations to the organization. One of the tv announcers mentioned that IU had the oldest team in college football ... averaging 24! WOW.

It was not, but I see him ghosting tackles next year. He dropped from 10 sacks to 6 this year. His draft stock will climb next year with those last two years under him.

He also needs more time in the pocket ... Mendoza time, for instance. I hope DL gets some big meanies from the portal and commits for that O-line. This year's version was a little lacking.

Nyet. IU rolls. They are that good. (And does anyone else find it interesting that they almost always start their defense toward the direction of the play... AT the beginning of the play ... before the ball carrier gets the ball? Sometimes I think they must be getting the O's play in advance. Hmm. Dunno. But they are great in all 3 phases of the game.

Jay Harris is filling in in spite of his appearance in the portal.

Ducks 45 - 31 2 turnovers 2 sacks 280 passing

Oregon 28 - 27 I turnover 2 sacks 234 yards passing

Uh, strangely enough, teams from Texas have all won their bowl games. 😦

I find it interesting that in every category, the Ducks and Whosures are right next to each other. As stated earlier, the TT Tread Traders have had a season vs. Sisters Of Forever Terrible (SOFT). OBD by 17.

Since I'm old and grumpy, here is my take. OBD pass defense has lacked red corpuscles all year. TT is far overrated with the competition played. Ducks eke out a win, er ... 41 - 24 Hey, Jon. I win! 😄

Ducks Win 38 - 21 2 TO 3 Sacks 258 Yards Passing
