Since the discussion thread always breaks down in the second half, here is a new thread for backup!

I thought it was my computer.

While recruiting 4 and 5 stars is necessary. One challenge is most of them never had any resistance or athletic adversity. So getting punched in the face startles them. Many lower ranked recruits might not have the physical measurables but they often have more of a resilient mindset.

I have no doubt if Oregon was hitting big plays they would play more to their potential but adversity makes many super talents sulk.

The last couple of possessions of the first half the offense looked like they were hitting their stride a bit. Now if the D can get off the field on third down I think we have a descent chance to win this game. Go Ducks!

On another tack, Georgia leads Florida 24-0 at the half...

Ua know, as much as I am down on the Ducks, as much shade as I run on them, my passion and love for them is still super high.

That dude is out cold. That sucks

Glad he's up. Oregon can sure appreciate the situation..

Ughh...

Turn the game back on to check in and see a brilliant pass to Moore only to... Fumble.

This is hard to watch.

Dak has been in football long enough to know what ball security means. Not holding it with both hands is inexcusable.

That is a crushing blow.

Boo!

Dakorian still thinking about transferring? Pfft

UGGH!

The U of O really needs to re evaluate our coaching staff.

Who lit the fire?

TD Oregon!

and just after that A TD--

That was a nice throw

Wanna know why that was a TD?

The safety was looking right at the quarterback. A lot of the players on our defense have been guys looking at the quarterback.

I will say this for the 1 millionth time, this defense would be super Elite if we stopped looking at the damn quarterback.

Okay! I am seeing flashes of the Oregon offense!

Raiola decided to play.

And it was a perfectly placed ball

Always a negative reaction to a negative play.

I just tuned into the game. That TD pass was the first play I saw.

Looks like we have a sign of life here!

Play some D please

Nice D. Let's go Ducks!

Jay is doing decent calling plays. Actually helped Raiola get in a rhythm.

Not good to have Hill and Davison injured at all, but you can see that Riggs and Smith have better vision and sense of space. They are less physically gifted, but better pure runners.

Chiles, ability to run is going to be the difference at the end of the game.

I swear our defenders are taught it's better to give up 20 yards around the edge than an extra 2 yards up the middle.

Great block by the freshman RB

These guys are starting to believe...

Dylan throwing well. Get great protection

Really encouraging to have a third and long not be a screen pass.

Gambling Dan is back for an extra 4 points!

For once the gamble paid off.

Let's go Ducks!

I'm glad for our Ducks.

But I'm really glad for Lanning.

Elated that play worked out. I was actually screaming at my TV for DL to just take the 3 lol!

I am impressed with Dylans ball placement. Good to see him settle in and get his confidence. He is balling today

carp!

Wow, heart break

At least this game gives me some hope for a bowl game.

SACKKKKKK!!!!!
