Let's discuss the 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!

This is going to be a very telling game for OBD win or lose I'll be happy as long as it's competitive or lopsided in our favor.

It would be moderately satisfying to have a lop sided Duck victory...

Go Ducks!

Woke up super sick today. Hope the Ducks makes it feel a little better

3rd down D is horrible to start

Looks like holding won't be called today. I have seen 3 so far

4 holds and counting. Got 7 on that one

That was way too easy.

Typical defense, stout up the middle weak on the edge and eyes on the QB leaving receivers open.

Also we appear to think Offord can man up on Smith with no help anywhere. That's a bold strategy.

Is what it is. We will be out coached this game. Our players just have to play better than OSU's.

Pretty easy when you get to hold every play

Looked like OSU had hands into Tiu facemask and then held Koi on the TD the very next play. The hold on the edge is an easy call to make.

Too many Ducks working at less than full effort on that drive and not playing to the whistle. That has to change to stay in the game.

OSU OL is defeating the Ducks pass rush.

Need the second half Ducks to play in the first half.

We got a first down. I won't be too harsh.

We still aren't confident up the middle, haven't run there yet.

We run outside lose yards, then pass pass pass. That won't work.

Another drive hamstrung by yet another horizontal pass into the backfield followed by a bad snap.

Nice Defense there

Can we at least try to run behind Tofi with Brandon Smith and see what happens this drive? I know OSU's defense is good up the middle, but they are good everywhere.

Need everyone to do their jobs at a high level and we can compete.

Bucky has great O

that pass

was moment of almost game over.

There has been a couple plays where DR need to tuck and run. I know its not a strength but it seems every QB in the nation will use the legs except Oregons

Caught a huge break there not getting pick sixed.

Raiola's movement gave him more time than he realized. He could have rescanned the field.

Our receivers are getting open, and Raiola has some time most drop backs.

Outcoached.

No defense. Oh well...... Pathetic.

Out-holded too

What is Perich good for?

If I see Koi throw a shoulder one more time I'm going to lose it.

Horrible

That was some terrible tackling in the red zone.

Given. Looks like part of the OSU coaching was to "just hold until it gets called."

They have to get pressure on the quarterback. And that's a third Miss tackle

Maybe it's just me, but we seem to be lacking a tad bit on the tackling thing.

I have streaming and I was 3 minutes behind, Well this game is over.

I was wrong. I thought our defense would give our offense a shot.. We got some fixing to do all around for next yr.. Go Ducks! Jemangi out soon.. nice sunny day in the mts.

174 yards of offense by OSU already. I thought defense travelled?

This btw is the game Im measuring Hamp on. Its been weeks now and this is the biggest test.

Too late to change predictions? 😂

Yikes.

No, not really. Their guys are just better than ours

At least we dont have to worry about the playoffs.

Sad, very disappointing but true.

I don't think that is true. Our defense has a lot of talent. Just as much as tOSU

The offensive play calling by OSU has been fantastic at attacking our weakness and scheming people open.

Smith behind Tofi like I said. Happy to see it.

How is that not roughing. Dude took 2 steps

We needed to go for that 4th and 4.

Good drive. Would have liked to get 6 there but you got some confidence

Our defensive line is losing the most important battle...same as it has been. No pressure, no havoc no win.

The key matchups in this game is along the line of scrimmage. We are not winning that battle.

Unless we reverse it massively, we will lose, or get blown out. It's been the case all year this year.
