Oregon Vs. Oregon State Official Thread

team to have trouble hanging on to the ball.

Oregon States' O Line is giveing him all day long back there.

"When you get it at the beginning , make sure you have it in the end" = politically correct for HOLD ON TO THE DAMN BALL

This is like NCAA 2011 with Oregon as 2010 Michigan and Oregon State as 2007 Michigan.

Just asked Dr. Lou what RR can do to get Michigan back on track. Holschchshcshc immediately launched into a nearly unintelligible rant.

just had a take on Rich Rod. I couldn't understand a word he said, however. On the plus side I just learned that the good Dr does not drink water.

The Duck's secondary is quite hole-tastic.

Go Beavers? Go Beavers!

being up by two scores. Oregon's high powered offense is gonna have to put up some major points the way their D is playing.

Looks like Oregon's D is giving Michigan's D a run for its money.

He is like a TE in the backfield - a monster RB.

That leg injury looked horrible. It looked like his foot was going to just twist off at the ankle. Damn...

Blount why don't you take a seat on the bench until we need to seal a trip to the Rose Bowl. In any other situation we will not need your services, but we have reserved them in case we really, really need them. Now go secure us a Rose Bowl and try not to punch anyone or go after fans or the cops on the field please.

Shit.

finally comes to life.

This last quarter could be epic, but I think that if the Ducks get a TD on this drive then they'll pull away.

Oregon's looking real good on this drive. Momentum is clearly in their favor.

Wow. 8 of the 10 Oregon lineman on the two deep have two years or more experience. When RR gets to that point it will be gravy, gravy, gravy.

Well. No TD for the Ducks. OSU is still in it. This is a great game.

Shit, shit, shit.

Yeah I think it was a tough choice either way. Field Goal keeps you within one, but a TD prob wins the game. But with 3 timeouts (assuming they wouldn't have used one to go for it), I think the defense could have held them for one more possession to drive for another field goal.

If only Tate were close to that size.

The left side of Oregon's o-line is moving a fraction before the snap.

Great run, but shoulda stayed inbounds there.

Good option football is a lot of fun to watch.

Oregon hung tough when they needed it most.

:( Go Beavers.

Wow one hell of a game. Oregon is gonna run a train on Ohio State and I cannot wait to watch.

Did they just say Oregon was 2nd in the Terrelle Pryor recruitment?

but did anyone else hear one of them talk about "boot and rally" after discussing a vomiting player? Surreal.

So was anyone else squinting and pretending that it was 2011 and that it was Michigan playing?

I love watching the Ducks! They're a friggin exciting team. I wasn't following the thread, but here are some thoughts from the game.... If these were coverred already, my bad. - I thought it was interesting how the announcer was totally fellating Chip Kelly for the pitch option and bubble screen stuff on the zone read, as if that was something totally new that Kelly innovated yesterday. Hello, RR has been doing this stuff for years. I don't think Oregon did anything tonight that RR hasn't done before. (That's not to take anything away from Chip Kelly, I think he's a hell of a good coach... It just shows that no one in the media gives RR credit for anything.) - I also thought it was interesting the type of players and style of play Kelly runs RR's spread with. It is tough, physical football! The obvious example is Massoli hitting that defender on 4th down. We will never see Tate or Denard make a play like that. Yes, they have srengths but as far as hitting a defender like that, we don't see that from them. Yeah, Oregon is athletic, but, it seems like they're more about power than speed. I wish RR would recruit more players like that. We have all these tiny little slot ninjas, and smaller QBs and RBs, and I think that's good but why aren't we getting some strength and power as well? Especially in the Big 10, which is a physical lead, I think there's a case to be made for recruiting the type of players Oregon does. - I don't know if it makes a difference on the field, but Masoli was faking out the announcers and cameramen frequently when he handed off on the zone read. Masoli is a hell of a good actor. I don't know if the D was as faked out as the announcers, but, man, his fakes are great. It's like after he hands the ball off he continues to run the play himself as if he still had the ball. Tate never did this on the zone read stuff, he would just kind of trail off into the backfield like you would if it was a regular handoff. Maybe this is another dimmension he can add to his game with experience, but, I'll say this: Tate Forcier - if you are reading this thread, watch film of Jeremiah Masoli in the offseason... and also take an acting class. =) Anyhow, I think there's a lot w/ Oregon that RR can use to help teach our offensive players. It'll be interesting to see how they match up w/ OSU... as another poster noted, it's likely that prisonsecks will ensue. :-D. I'm looking forward to a nice feast of OSU schadenfreude... some Pryor yakety sax as the appetizer, the prisonsecks of OSU's defense as the main course, and I'll finish it off by enjoying their tears with a nice pinot noir.
