The win at Ohio State, was just luck. Think about it. The rushing game sucked. The QB passing was just so, so.Ohio State had 14 points at the half. Then Oregon allowed them 14 points in the last 4 miniuts of thr game. The win was a combination of their poor quarterback, and luck on our part..

I dunno about that. I predicted Oregon would beat both USC and tOSU due to the Oregon players getting up for the games. On the other hand the front runnery nature of this current team might mean they will struggle against far less talent and infuriate us. Then we have the Raiola coaster to make us pucker up.

oregold, I will refrain from writing what I was thinking in response to you, since I have to follow my own rules. Watch some of the analysis videos at the top to understand what Oregon did right, or....are you just trying to troll us?

Seriously? What kind of troll are you? Ohio State scored two garbage-time TDs after the game was basically over.

Both teams were playing backup QBs.

How does luck play into Ohio State playing bad defense two games in a row, whiffing on tackles against SC and Oregon?

COME ON, MAN!

I'm not biting.

I'll just say it's never as good or as bad as it looks.

Certainly Ohio State missed two easy game changing picks on Dylan, and their QB made some inopportune mistakes, but 4 turnover on downs is no fluke. Our starting defense owned them for most of the game once we settled in.

Their defense is who we thought they were, no pass rush, but very stout up the middle against the run. The lack of pass rush let Dylan get very comfortable, which allowed us to survive getting behind the count on no gain runs up the middle.

Is what it all is. Happy trolling to you.

One person's "luck," is another's "domination."

OSU dropping INTs could be called luck.

The rest of it was Oregon having a great plan and executing it. And OSU failing to execute.

I actually believe the Buckeyes have lost their swagger. Losing Julian Sayin was huge. I believe the coaches, and eventually the players realized they don't have a QB that can handle very good teams. It looked like Ohio State was expecting more Zone Read. They sure lined up as if that is what they were expecting.

The real test of this offense-and whether Johnson has the chops to handle elite defenses-is this week. Michigan is more physical than everyone OBD faced. Including UCLA (though the Bruins are improving and look better than Indiana at this point). Yes, this is the week we get to see how OBD handle a team that has a playoff caliber defense. Or at least one of the best defenses in the country (yes, better than most SEC defenses).

At the very least, better than Oklahoma's defense. 😁

Scoring 38 consecutive points = luck?

I’ll take that kind of “luck” the rest to the way!

Nevermind... gotta follow the FishDuck rules. Moving on

With luck like this, who needs to be good?

Just look how lucky Hill gets as the sea just parts in front of him as he just casually strolls in for the TD.

I could not disagree more strongly. I went to the game in person. Oregon essentially dominated that game from mid-2nd quarter onwards. They dominated both lines and pushed Ohio State around the field. Not only did they not get any sacks on DR, but he really only came under serious pressure on two dropbacks. Further, the two late touchdowns occurred when the outcome of the game was already decided and Oregon essentially went into prevent defense mode.

I also don't exactly know what Ohio State's QB had to do with Oregon calling a screen pass at the perfect time (anticipating the blitz call) or Dierre Hill breaking a 48-yard run through the B-gap or Tuiotti throwing a phenomenal jump pass to Matayo on a fake punt that caught the Buckeyes with their pants down.

Like I said.....I couldn't disagree more strongly.

You could say it was luck that Ohio State whacked the Ducks in the Rose Bowl CFP Quarterfinal. However, I believe the Ducks were out coached and outplayed. Just like our win on Saturday, Ohio State was out coached and out played. Not much luck involved.

In my Opinion..."Luck". Good or bad is actually part of the game.

Probably why they put them darn pointed ends on the ball (aren't balls suppose to be round???), like some demented coin flip (which is how each game starts anyway).

How teams respond (bad luck) or take advantage of (good luck) usually determines the flow and even outcome of games.

Kinda a lot like life.

GO QUACKERS!

I believe coach Mike B. defined “luck” as when opportunity meets preparation….or something along those lines. If there was actually such a thing as luck, a team missing their flight and having to forfeit would fit the bill. Anyone can isolate a couple plays in a game and say “that was luck”, but that’s why it’s a sport and not scripted entertainment.

Luck is usually just a term used for some sour grapes to dodge accountability - imo of course 😁

Somewhere, someplace, somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed.🙃

No, after looking at his posting history since he joined us this fall…it becomes evident that he is a Beavis, and joined to troll us.

He won’t be posting any more…

Damn, that was a great run with strong downfield blocking.

Falling behind at home to Texas State 42-7 was just a matter of luck

I thought it was just sarcasism as no sane person would think so.

If it is a Beavis, then luck makes sense since they are lucky to be in a conference that everyone that had a landing spot abandoned.

They've lost a lot of NFL players, but Caleb Downs was the most important piece. Once they lose Jeremiah Smith next year, they are going to be very human.

A new poster is massively negative when we lose, and when we win....it is luck?

Sounds like a Beavis!

Of course it is Beavis. Just looking at what he posted is a dead giveaway. Three commas not needed, omitted a space after a complete sentence, two spelling errors and two periods at the end of a sentence. What are they teaching in Corvallis. On to the game...

Ducks had 287 passing yards, 108 rushing yards. Buckeyes had 360 passing yards, 53 rushing yards.

Beavis had 267 passing yards, 80 rushing yards. Bobcats had 386 passing yards, 214 rushing yards.

So Beavis gave up a total of 600 yards in the game, Ducks gave up 413 yards...on the road.

Quarterback ratings: 0 - 158.3 with 50 being an average number.

Raiola 88.8

Jackson 84.9 (Texas St.)

Fahey 51.2 (Ohio St.)

Murphy 40.6 (Beavis)

Atkinson 25.0 (Beavis)

Some more information about our Beavis poster.....he joined this forum the day we lost to Oklahoma State.

Just like a Beavis...

But Then His Team Loses to Fresno State and Texas State?
