Congratualation, I thought it was a very intense, hard hitting, clean, game. I don't feel horrible about losing to a Damn fine football team, the LSU Tigers. Link to the Eugene blog. Oregon Football with Rob Moseley | The Register-Guard Go Ducks!
Thanks. It was physical. And it was a level of physical you guys just simply couldn't handle. The cramps, though. Man that was crazy.
I think LSU was very fortunate. Tough breaks for Oregon with your top two tailbacks getting banged up. Black Mamba looked a little out of his element with guys as fast as he is closing in on him. Tough baptism by fire for him, but I think he'll be a good one. Oregon has a very dangerous philosophy on offense, but I do think that Kelly's style will continue to struggle against teams that physically are equal to Oregon at the skill positions AND near or better on the lines, but also when a team has extended time to prepare for the frenetic pacing. Thomas having to throw so many times is not a recipe for success. Had that been Dennis Dixon throwing it though I think Oregon would have been fine. Chip will need to really look at the strategy and tinker with it to compete in the big bowl games and big time openers. Best of luck to your Ducks the rest of the way!
Classy of you to show up. I always like watching Oregon play. Best of luck down the stretch. Have enjoyed the Duck fans who've been posting here. Keep us up to date on what's going on ova yonda.
Classy post, and thanks for the kind words. I look for Oregon to do very well the rest of the season. Good luck to your Ducks the rest of the year, and as far as I'm concerned you're welcome to come back and visit here anytime.
I knew YOU would come back. Out of all the duck fans, you seem the most level-headed (except for your prediction) I hope you stick around in the future. We are definitely pulling for the ducks here on out. The better you look, the better we look.
Seconded! Duck fans pretty respectable; don't think we'll be hearing any "butt-hurts" outta y'all! Have a great season! We'll be watching.
Herbie said it best after the game. If the PAC 12 wants to "catch up" with the SEC they need to focus on the OL and DL. The SEC simply sports the most dominant offensive and defensive lines and anybody that knows football knows the game is won in the trenches. It showed again tonight. The Ducks, as in the BCS Title game, are light in their loafers on the lines.
