Let's discuss the Nebraska 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!

A Good Win Last Time....

Let's go Ducks!

I'll miss watching this one live again! Poo!

Go Ducks, get this train back on the right track!

Really need a win. Playoff door still open, lots of top teams losing today. And considering how many Ducks opponents are/were/could be top 25 teams, 2 losses not a death sentence. Release the quackin'.

Ohio State is beatable. Indiana has a loss. Path is clear for Ducks. Just win!

UGA at #1 losing to unranked Auburn. Lots of parity in college football.

Let's just focused on not being embarrassed first.

Watching football today makes really hope we start to include the QB as a runner, whoever is the QB next year, we have to get more athletic at the position, need a guy like Nix who can make something happen when the O-line breaks down.

I want to wish the Ducks well tonight! This is the best late night matchup I can remember in recent memory. Well, late night for me way down here in South GA.

I expect a good game, although while I watch every Ducks game, I’ve not seen Nebraska much this season other than highlights. They do look much improved the little I’ve seen.

I’m hoping you guys have a much better game than my Dawgs had today! I guess we were due for a stinker of a game, but it sucks! We beat ourselves, but I don’t mean any harm to Auburn, they played very well and deserved to win. I can’t stand them, but they deserved it more than we did. Can’t play half a$$ed and be negative 3 on turnovers and commit a ton of personal fouls and hope to win.

Anyway, I’m excited about the Ducks tonight, maybe you guys can bring me a little joy to end this college football Saturday!!!🤞

A lot of things OBD needed to fix over the week. But it all starts up front...if they haven't resolved the OL issues then it won't matter which QB is in or what plays are being called.

Hopefully something has been addressed!

Just woke up from my old man nap. Did we win? What day is this? Where are my teeth?

Not an impressive offensive first 3 plays...

Thomas cant throw either.

Well what can I say??????

How long until Smith is in and Brock is pulled

If we are just going to run nowhere and throw 5 yd passes..... How bout Akili? He is big, strong, fast, and has an arm. Not my call, Im not at practice... I just think it would be helpful to try to score..

Did we just pull a tackle to block across the formation in pass protection leaving the end to smash our QB?

Is that normal?

#'s 1, 2, 5, 6, & 7, all lost today.

Things are pretty open for any team that decides to win out.

Notre Dame goes down. Great game, came down to last second

Miami stole one

3 possessions, 3 punts.

What more does DL need to see?

Utes, Mormans and TTech are the only 3 unbeaten teams left. Is it going to be B12's year?

Let's try Akili Jr.!

This O is NOT working, just in case you guys dont know--jeebuss

This is offensive non existence. I suppose we plan on just not fumbling, and the defense winning 3-0 or something...Ok, I'd take that!! Go Ducks..

This O line is really hard to watch

He doesn't see very well this season, unfortunately...

One more possession for Brock, and then try Raiola, unless they see something with Akili.

this is going to be a 5 beer game.

Ok, enough is enough. Put Akili in. Let the mascot call plays. Can't really do worse. I have more yards walking to the bathroom tonight.

Fire Terry, it has to be done, can not develop talent, those that talk about the Joe Moore award ignore that it's built on transfers, he can't develop his own recruits.

Liking my 6-3 score prediction right now. This is GROSS!

The offense looks as out of sync as the defense did when Helfrich was head coach and Brady Hoke was the DC.

They can't get a starting caliber QB and a good OC in the next 5 minutes, so they need to find some plays this unit can execute.

They can't rely on screens and handoffs all game long. They have to throw it downfield.

I like our defense and our special teams. They look much better than Indy did against Nebraska so far.

It really is a shame how broken our offense is with the bad OL and backup QB situation. The play calling is trying to make things work, but you aren't going to beat Nebraska going side to side, and we can't go vertical with any success.

This feels like a Redbox bowl kinda game. Holding my 7-6 score for now.

Might as well go for the full six pack

Ok, get Brock out of there.

Why are we going for it? Please just play field position Dan. Thank You!

Why? Why would you ever go for it there? Your defense has played great, I know they called timeout, but how could you think our O-line would get a push there!?

7th punts and still 3 minutes left in Q1. I am going to do something else.

Please try in-game adjustments, DL, it can be fun!

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse..here we are!!

I was so worried Dan was going to go for it. Not with this offense still tied you do that.

And replace him with who? The last guy Koa Kai has been Coaching?

The D has looked good so far.

Yep, atleast he can run

the Oregon D is going to wear down eventually

I'm ready for Raiola again. That is a very hard thing for me to write.

Yes, please.

D has been great, they're holding their end of the bargain.

Just run it every time, then quick kick on 3rd down.

Here is thebreakdown of the first three run plays:

• Play 1: Guard-tackle counter. TE #9 Johnson missed his block by heading toward a player who was already being double-teamed by two of our linemen. The safety came flying in unblocked and stopped the runner for no gain. If Jacory makes his block, that play goes.

• Play 2: Pull play where the guard pulled and completely missed blocking the edge defender, running right by him. The edge defender made the play for no gain.

• Play 3: Guard-tight end counter. #55 Utu came over on the pull, and the edge defender (#5) completely stood him up.

Bottom line: We called three gap scheme run plays and ended up with two missed blocks and a guard who couldn't displace a defender standing still despite having a full head of steam.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many punts so quickly. Eventually the defenses will tire out a bit maybe.
