HOPE! Those young coaches had to have been excited by the passion and effort, let alone the talent, that was on display in the second half. Makes one wonder what might have been with a little of this earlier in the season. GO DUCKS!!! Time for the next step!
December 30, 20214 yr Administrator No. I was born ready. Considering the talent at receiver, running back and tight end? Add a good quarterback to it and we could start scoring a ton more points. Lanning had to see that the defense can improve a ton and if it does... A very fun off-season! It starts tomorrow as Coach Boles unveils another component of the Coach Dillingham offense! Mr. OBD

December 30, 20214 yr No. The receivers were very impressive tonight. All of them are going to be absolutely killer next year. Just need that QB.

They played really well this year considering the youth and one dimensional football. Throw in some stunt and actual passing game and this is the best unit in the pack next year. They have a new coach in Klemm and an OC that likes to stunt. Hoping these two coaches take this line to another level.
December 30, 20214 yr No. This could have been a much closer game. OU's secondary was suspect. If AB could have only found his footing in the first half, the Ducks might have been able to exploit them more, vertically. Our WRs were winning the footrace, and Dye proved to be too much for the Sooners to handle. Unfortunately, we only have one Dye, and he needed his breaks too. If Ferguson didn't kill Oregon's drive with that false start, Dye would have marched in for 6. And if Franklin bothered to locate that deep pass in the end zone, he would have had two touchdowns instead one. That would have gave the Ducks an additional 11 pts with Camden tacking on the extra points. And if the second half AB showed up in the first half, Ducks would have won this game. The Ducks could have easily folded, being down 30-3 at the half, but they showed some fight in second half which gave us a glimpse of the potential talent we might see next season. I however would have liked to see them win some of those 50-50 balls. The Ducks didn't have any luck last night, and the refs cheated McKinley out of the spoils of his scrum.
December 30, 20214 yr No. A couple notes for consideration. A few guys like Bass, Powers and Johnson played extensive D and their effort and performance should be featured. Bennett played but clearly couldn't run - kudos for trying hard. The young guns showed up on the outside, albeit against backups. Bassa at LB looks like a big time gamer. As usual, the O line (and TE) made really key penalties at the worst times in this game, like they did all year. Either Ty and Butters have signaled they are transferring or they are really bad in practice because I cannot for the life of me figure out why they don't get at least a few snaps. So odd. Onward and upward - 10 wins, good season, but things looking up in '22.
December 30, 20214 yr No. The season long mystery of why no back-up QB got meaningful experience continued. It seems as if when Brown transferred he signed a contract guaranteeing that he would play every down unless he benched himself. Seems like a really nice young man, but he was just an average QB.

Charles, we appreciate the hard work that you put into this forum each and every day. It's a unique assemblage of thoughtful, respectful Duck fans--and the occasional posters from other schools--and your tutelage makes it possible.

December 30, 20214 yr No. The best part of the game was truly the effort the young Ducks displayed. Start to finish.......... Looking forward to spring ball.
