Rose Bowl: Oregon Ducks recognize urgency to end Rose Bowl drought | OregonLive.com

....."If you're going to be the best and win the conference title it's important that you carry the conference flag and win the Rose Bowl,"

And ending Oregon's misery in the big game wouldn't hurt either.

"I think it would mean exactly that – a validation of where this program is and where it's headed," Oregon running backs coach Gary Campbell said. "Obviously, we've been close. And our goal is to win this game. We've been in a lot of these games but we want to win one."

One thing reaching a third BCS game in as many years should assure, guard Carson York said, is that nobody will be frightened by the moment.

"I think both BCS games we thought we had a chance to win it and we were close'" he said. "I think there's pretty much a zero-percent chance of anybody being stuck in awe when we get there. All of these guys here have spent their careers in situations like this. We just have to win the darn thing."

 

UCLA scored a td on a deflected pick 6, they scored a td on a long flea flicker, and they scored a td on a long pass and simply incredible one handed catch. And Chip gave the Bruins 3 points at the end of the 1rst half with very poor clock management. Mostly our D handled UCLA well.

Duck fans agree that our D-line is lacking,.. quite a bit of sentiment against D-line coach Jerry Azzinaro. Most agree he's a fine coach, but he's a crusty ol salt, so the complaint is, he's not a good charming recruiter.

Personally, I don't know what the trouble is,.. but we lost 4 nice D-line recruits to Cal last year. ? ? ? ?

Chip doesn't like playing freshmen, although more played this year than usual, mostly receivers, and dumbass Cliff Harris' replacement is a freshmen.

I'm with you, the keepers of the light vs the evil forces..

"Cliff Harris dismissed from the Oregon football team" | Oregon Football with Rob Moseley | The Register-Guard

Just announced by the Ducks:

University of Oregon cornerback Cliff Harris has been dismissed from the Ducks’ football program for a violation of team rules, according to the Ducks’ Head Coach Chip Kelly Monday.


Harris was suspended indefinitely on Oct. 24 and has since been prohibited from all football activities, missing Oregon’s last five games of the regular season in addition to last Friday’s Pac-12 Conference Championship.


The Fresno, Calif., junior had been credited with nine tackles and one interception in six games this season after missing the season-opening loss to LSU while serving another suspension.


The 2010 consensus All-American finishes his Oregon career with 61 tackles in 27 appearances, eight interceptions for one touchdown, and returned 38 punts for a 16.2-yard average and four more scores.

 

Yeah, I feel sad about this,.. he struck me as a fun loving, good hearted kid.

Thankfully, he has good supportive parents.

I wish him the best.
