November 13, 20214 yr Administrator No. Whenever we play the Cougars, I think of how fan bases really share the common hate of the Huskies. However it does not matter when both are vying for the crown of the division and the conference, and thus we focus upon our key match-up. Yet I cannot forget the best title to a FishDuck article against WSU ever years ... Read the full article here... Two Sites: FishDuck and the Our Beloved Ducks forum, The only "Forum with Decorum!" And All-Volunteer? What a wonderful community of Duck fans!
November 13, 20214 yr No. Gee.....according to this....I shouldn't be concerned.....I don't know what these folks have been smoking but it looks to me that they....well, you guys and gals remember, they..... "Already smoked it all."
November 13, 20214 yr Moderator No. "Call DeRuyter, that's the name, and away go troubles down the drain, go DeRuyter!"
November 13, 20214 yr No. Well done 30duck........ Hope this is the first of the next 6 games that this gelling defense causes extreme chaos for the Duck opponent. Turnovers by the Cougars are why they are only averaging around 25 points a game. Let's go D, get after these guys. A dominant, turnover causing Oregon D can take this team to the promised land. As long as the bone heads on offense stop the self inflicted penalties. Don't just limit them, stop them..... It's game 10 of the season..... Go Ducks 1-0 Is it tonight, yet?
November 13, 20214 yr Moderator No. WSU’s challenging short passes and run game will be faced with a Duck D that appears to be gelling. Should be interesting.
November 13, 20214 yr No. DeRuyter faced WSU three times as Cal’s DC and yielded 3 points in 2017, his first year as Cal’s DC; 19 in 2018; and 20 in 2019, for an average of 14 points. Versatile, athletic linebackers are key to stopping the air raid, and I think we have that. I think Noah Sewell gets his hands on some balls. Ducks 34-17.
November 13, 20214 yr No. From what I've seen so far this season, Oregon's defense has been vulnerable to quarterbacks with a quick release, slant passes, short passes in the flats, and the occasional run by a quality running back. WSU seems to have everything needed to rain on Oregon's parade tonight, and Lord knows they will definitely be motivated to do so. This is their Super Bowl. Historically, DeRuyter seems to have WSU's number, but remember that every single game combines new variables specific to that game's situation. For instance, who is tonight's officiating crew and what effect will they play on tonight's game? It's another Moment of Truth for our Ducks. If they hope to be in the CFP, they need to prove that they have the motivation, discipline, and skill to make it happen. Edited November 13, 20214 yr by latracey
November 13, 20214 yr No. The X factor with the Ducks is health which has led to inconsistent lineups and multiple position changes. Does the defense take another step today with a more consistent lineup? They are either getting better or getting worse. Nobody stays the same.

November 14, 20214 yr Moderator No. seriously, can we just run a play and not clap and look at the sideline?!

November 14, 20214 yr No. Noticed that Kieth Brown was playing that series. Does anyone know if Bassa got hurt? I missed start of game so ESPN could play Ole Miss garbage time
November 14, 20214 yr No. Love the resilience not giving up a TD after the long play. AB looking decisive and protecting the football. His ability on the read option and 230lbs is a real asset. The Dye name at Oregon, forever

November 14, 20214 yr No. I just don't understand the point of throwing for 1 yard when you need 9 and the receiver is well covered
November 14, 20214 yr No. That pass to Dye was a dead Duck waiting to happen. AB doesn’t see the defenders well. Oh well.

November 14, 20214 yr No. Anyone else yelling at the tv with all the obvious holds WSU is getting away with?
November 14, 20214 yr No. I can't remember more close games being played at home. Sad. Subpar playcalling across the board. Both Moorhead and DeRuyter better make some halftime adjustments.
November 14, 20214 yr No. Dye fumble. Sewell missed tackle. Changed the momentum at the end of first half. Edited November 14, 20214 yr by Duckdude

November 14, 20214 yr No. It baffles me how AB continues to throw the ball short of 1st down marker on 3rd down.

Well at least through their first two games, but we will see what happens against BYU here next Tuesday. The problem is that the other teams are making midgame adjustments and our team is not. They wait until halftime. Edited November 14, 20214 yr by DuckIt
November 14, 20214 yr No. I will always root for them and they are 8-1 somehow. But, I am so sick of short passes going nowhere. Defense it doing it usual thing. If we lose, once again it will be due no no imagination on offense and no downfield passing threat. Go ducks!!
November 14, 20214 yr No. Either our secondary is very average or DeRuyter's play calling makes them look average. Which is it? Both?
November 14, 20214 yr No. Just totally blew the momentum they had. Had the gift to start the game and should have put the game away. Bad fumble.. No passing attack. Don't care how many he completes for 3 yards, that is a run!! I think I've seen this before. I sure hope we get our 2 point win!!
