That was one big thing that gave us a big advantage.”What were those tendencies? “Just their offensive line had a few stance indicators for most of the time run/pass,” said Romney.The Heat was Hot - An on-field photographer checked the turf temperature at halftime and it read 146 degrees. It went up from there.What’s Oregon going to do now? Answer: Dan Lanning is going to do what Dan Lanning always does. He’s going to learn from what went right and what went wrong and the Ducks will improve. Few coaches in college football have done it better than Lanning over the last four years and two games.3 of the most popular questions I was texted after the game: 1- Is Oregon going to turtle like Penn State did last year? Answer: No. 2- Are the Ducks going to miss playing in a Bowl game this year? Answer: Heck No. 3- Should Oregon fans be worried about Portland State? Answer. That would be a No.Dan will find a way. He always does.From the Sideline: Oklahoma State Knew What Oregon Plays...Our special guest columnist Mike Ostrom was on site in Stillwater for some great insight into the ‘little things’ that became big things
6 hours ago6 hr No. I'm so impressed with how prepared Oklahoma State was for our Ducks. Especially after they came off such an embarrassing open season loss to Tulsa.That's just an exceptional 7-Day turnaround. Hopefully, we do the same thing.

2 hours ago2 hr Administrator No. I think some people here are enjoying being negative a bit much. But good thing there IS negative stuff to write about, otherwise we would never hear from them! Mr. OBD
2 hours ago2 hr Administrator No. Negative is part of football, and part of what we do here in the forum, but some people really get off on it. We have so many GREAT analysis posts that were about negative, but well done. But a few members go over-the-top seemingly looking for something foul to write. It is not against the rules, after two days…isn’t that long enough?The writer of the article above, Mike Ostrom, was a FishDuck guest writer in the past, and a friend of mine. We spoke a couple of times this season already… Mr. OBD

1 hour ago1 hr No. Apparently a TikTok video was made which displays seemingly glaring tendencies to determine whether the next Oregon play is run or pass. Hopefully what's shown in the video will be addressed to hopefully make the O less predictable.Link below although I'm not sure if it would work for everyone:https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP83XHEgx/
