January 2, 20215 yr Administrator No. My FishDuck Friends, Let's discuss the game in this thread and have fun with it! Here's hoping for a big game from Johnny Johnson III! Mr. OBD
January 2, 20215 yr No. Well, I guess that answers the QB question. Per Moseley Shough takes warmup snaps from Forsyth, and Brown takes them from Denis. Show 'em your best stuff, Tyler!
January 2, 20215 yr No. Not feeling too good after that drive from Iowa state... The defense lacks the fire that carried them in the oac-12 championship game.
January 2, 20215 yr No. In the USC game the D got better as the game went on. Hopefully they will do the same here.
January 2, 20215 yr No. Offense looked good ... They gutted the Iowa State defense pretty well there. Happy to see a successful drive after the first run by Shough of that drive.

January 2, 20215 yr No. Better at slowing the run this second ISU drive... But struggling pretty bad to get any pass rush in.
January 2, 20215 yr Author Administrator No. With Iowa State taking a half of the entire first quarter their first scoring drive--it means that Oregon will have far fewer possessions in this game than normal, thus you have to make the most of every possession on offense and the defense has to make some stops! The big play by Dye effectively had a slice block by our TE, but not on the edge defender, but on an Inside Linebacker, and THAT is an interesting variation! Mr. OBD

January 2, 20215 yr Moderator No. My biggest fear coming into this game was that the Ducks would lay a massive egg.

January 2, 20215 yr No. Some will not be happy about this comment but I would bring back Helf--we are not prepared well Edited January 2, 20215 yr by 1Ducker1
January 2, 20215 yr Moderator No. It's only partway through the second quarter with a one-touchdown deficit. Let's quell the panic. Iowa State is a really good team.

I know there is a FishDuck article somewhere that talks a lot about that. Though it does look like Oregon is figuring things out.

Helfrich had a completely different HC to work for back then, won't work with Cristobal, as we saw when Helfrich went pro.
January 2, 20215 yr Moderator No. Iowa State is what a well-coached, disciplined, cohesive team looks like. They're really good.
January 2, 20215 yr No. Just now, jrw said: Iowa State is what a well-coached, disciplined, cohesive team looks like. They're really good. Agreed... Though what is also showing right now is how much more expirence this iowa state team has over Oregon. They are loaded with seniors and have almost played double the games of Oregon. More practice time, more game time and it is all very hard to make up. Especially for the youngest team in the country.
January 2, 20215 yr Moderator No. Regardless of the outcome, I see a very, very young Ducks team that suffers hugely, both in talent and leadership, from the opt-outs in the defensive backfield. They're game, they're talented, but mistakes hurt them. And, Iowa State is really, really good on offense. Who can tell about their defense when they always have the ball?

Also, unnecessary targeting by our LB... Edited January 2, 20215 yr by Duckdude
January 2, 20215 yr No. Too many mistakes. Mistakes on the defense and special teams. Lets see what QB2 can do in the second half.
