Fall is here, ring the bell…
I’m thinking Tate finally runs, and he could be the difference. If not, it’s a pick ’em game because the offense are both solid and the defenses both suck eggs. Rain is a wildcard. Gun to my head, I pick Arizona in a close game, but given Tate isn’t running, chance of rain/cool weather, home crowd, and Beavs building confidence (even off their loss), my biased opinion is the good guys.
30-27
Go Beavs!
Beavs win, they mad
Just to note there is a 60% chance of rain at game time. Rain goes down from there as the game goes on down to 20% to 30% by games end. Temps in the mid to low 60s. I’d bring rain gear just in case. Oh, wait you only get a small bag to carry it in with.
AZ boys are used to 95 degrees F right now in Tucson. Our high of 68 with showers will disorient them and make them think it is their winter. The key is to strike early while they are dazzled by leaves with colors. Dude….
Good call on the weather factor. I really hope Togiai and Bradford play this weekend – it could make or break this game. On an unrelated note, about 70% of the bets in Vegas have been on the side of the Beavers, but still about 6.5 point underdogs as of now. I’m thinking this should be a shootout: 41-37 Beavers.
Beavs in a blow out!
BTW.
So far WSU on the road vs USC is demonstrating that place does not matter and coaching does.
Nobody wants to play in Pullman. Right?
Well, okay. It seems WSU lost by 3.
But a Riley team would have lost by _______.
Coug’d it…..
PHIL STEELE REPORT (#80 Arizona @ #105 Oregon State, 9/22/2018)
Last time here Arizona trailed 14-0 into the 2Q & after a FG on the 1H’s final play trailed 21-10 (-45 yd/+2 FD). Arizona never got closer than double digits in the 2H and Oregon State won 42-17. Arizona has dropped 14 of the last 18 in the series but has won 2 of the last 3. The Beavers are 5-17 the last 4 years in Pac-12 home games (0-4 in 2017 -14 ppg). Arizona is trying to make Khalil Tate a pocket passer and he has just 41 yards rushing on the year. Arizona finally broke a 0-5 SU and ATS streak but actually was outgained at the half by Southern Utah in a 62-31 win. Last year with Tate rushing for 206 yards the Cats had a school record 534 yards rushing. Despite a 30-7 deficit mid 2Q last week in Reno, the Beavers nearly delivered the comeback victory against Nevada missing a 33 yd game winning FG as time expired. Oregon St had 28-17 FD and 540-357 yd edges. Arizona is just 3-11-1 ATS as Pac-12 road chalk. Oregon St has played to an average game grade of 81.3 and Arizona to 82.0 so that favors the home dog.

Weird typos in the post fixed.
Also, I hate this start time. 2pm MT ruins my day. I wanted to go hike up in Rocky Mountain, and now I’m stuck deciding between that and watching a bad Beav team. If they get destroyed, total regret for not going out. One shouldn’t have to make these decisions.
Just turn off notifications, dvr and hike. Then watch later.
I’ve had a shit ton of kids in the last few years so do to the lifestyle changes I can hardly ever watch anything live.
Watching this way I drink less booze, can skip commercials, and don’t feel like I got kicked in the nuts if we blow it at the end.
Mine are just getting to that age where we’re spending a chunk of every Saturday at soccer games. Fortunately the Beavs usually play late enough that I’m home in time to catch it live. Still, life is more important than live sports on tv. DVR or just follow it on twitter periodically
Don’t you need cable to DVR a game? Haven’t had cable in 9 years.
Not sure. Always have had cable or dish.
I’m sure you could find a work around. I know one of my buddies was using his parents login like 8 years ago and had an external hard drive set up for recording off of his computer.
I’ve never looked into it myself. I can ask
I’m just going to do a shorter day trip, watch the game, and try to get to RM NP tomorrow.
Let me know about that recording on the PC thing. Never looked into that, but that would be huge.
Highly recommend cutting cable, BTW. Total waste.
A buddy of mine does the screen recorder thing, but says it take up a ton of memory for poor quality results, since games are so long.
Plus you have to make sure all of your screensaver and sleep settings are disabled.
Might as well stick a camcorder in front of your tv while you’re out.
Ran up the hill and got a grouse and a quail, back home for some bacon and eggs and the beginning of the OSU/AZ game then off to the hole/Stanford game. Gotta drink some more coffee while I’m home too haha.
I’ve seen games put up on youtube that I watched after the fact. Sometimes threads in reddit will have a link.
http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_broadway.html
…or something like it, depending on your set-up.
Arizona didn’t punt at all vs Southern Utah, and our game last year vs Arizona was our worst of the season, worse than the CW. Luton is out and we’ll have Garrettson Jr in there, so they’ll stack the box vs Jefferson. We’re in trouble.
Back in my day Jonathan Smith beat these guys 33-9 in Tucson and then 38-3 in Corvallis, and then DA beat them by the same score 38-3, then won again 52-23, and then again 28-14 in Tucson. Seems like a long time ago now.
GA even obliterated these guys two years ago. It’s not like Arizona is some powerhouse. Now, Luck O’ the Beavs could come in to play and Tate could return to form as a runner, but I don’t think there’s that big of a difference between Luton and Blount at this point. The Beavs can win or lose against other mediocre opponents with either one of them at QB.
I really don’t recall Sumlin having any teams that put up big rush in yardage. As far as I can remember, he had an explosive offense when Manziel was at the helm, but most of that was broken plays and Johnny football and crew out athleting teams.
RichRod with the help of our current o line coach on the other hand, put together Some huge rushing based teams.
So who knows if he’ll ever be as effective as he was last year
Zony was literally starting walk-ons from the scout team two years ago.
Garrettson lost games by 40+. Pull Luton’s D out of your mouth
Take a hike Angry…
Seriously, better use of time.
Starting to look like that USC transfer, Ross, will end up at Hawaii. I guess that’s not a bad way to spend your final year or 2 of college for free.
Oh yeah, and GoBeavs and GoCard.
Lucy has the ball on the tee ready for kickoff. Look for the Beavs to find a new and different way to blow it this week. Sorry…. just can’t help it. JB
OT would an e-mail campaign against the the clear bag rule work?
Michigan is up 30-0 over Nebraska in the 2nd qtr
Nevada is down to Toledo 21-14 after giving up a kickoff return TD. Nevada is a 10 pt dog
TPB……Riley is still fucking them over from afar. The whining about Gebbia leaving is going to reach a fever pitch after this game. Frost should have stayed at UCF, better access to talent, apparently he wanted to coach for the most delusional fan base in college football. They should just put Tom Osborne in a Lazy Boy on the sideline and call it good for a HC.
Really hoping Frost crashes and burns. Not only because of their tool bag fan base, but also Frost comes off as an overconfident douche.
Frost underestimated the “Smilin'” ones power of program destruction!
I am also strongly in favor of blaming Mike Riley! That man messes everyone up!
He’s still messing Nebby up… to the tune of $2.6m this year and $2.2m next year… after the hatchet job he performed while he was actually in an office on that campus.
Nebby players look so slow compared to Michigan. I haven’t seen them play this poorly since last year against Iowa… and tOSU… and Minny… and Wiscy… and….
Meltdoooowwwwnnnnnnn!
https://www.cornnation.com/2018/9/22/17889660/nebraska-vs-michigan-football
Holy Shit! What idiocy! One poster said “we won’t be in the national championship discussion this year”. WTF?
Don’t think there will be a kiss or any spooning from Michigan after this…
Part of me wants to move on from following #TPB, but when they keep losing in epic fashion, it’s so hard!
http://player.listenlive.co/52371
Luton officially out today. Hope fumBlount can hang onto the ball
I hope they spent the entire week on practing stepping up the pocket. That plays in to his athleticism also, if he steps up and there’s open field he can take off rather than running sideways into defenders.
https://twitter.com/KatzM/status/1043579630408609793
I’m sick of guys taking kickoffs out of the endzone. You’re rarely going to get past the 25. Take a damn knee
Yep. I’ve seen it numerous times. Shoots themselves in the foot. Poor coaching.
Immediately leads to great field position for Arizona on their first drive. Just stupid
And now a TD. Smh
May that’s the strategy. Arizona is going to score regardless, but if we give them short fields, their total yards will look more reasonable.
Oh boy it’s going to be one of those games
I wish I were at Rocky Mountain National Park.
Is Riley coaching today. First play was long pass. Very Riley.
Strategy should be to get Jefferson going. And Blount with quick easy completions. Nothing fancy. No need to go for the big plays.
Arizona is no juggernaut. Don’t beat yourself.
Who is our backup QB today?
Crazy Legs
FumBlount -1
Both our lines are getting man handled.
Arizona injury looked like this: https://twitter.com/barstoolsports/status/1042449596545417216
What a throw by Blount.
Good play calls on that series and better pocket awareness by Blount
Someone thumbed this down? Wow. People want Blount to fail. If Luton made that throw there would be 20 comments about it. Blount makes the throw, not one comment except mine.
We haven’t had a guy who can throw a touch pass like that since Matt Moore (other than McM).
This must be the same group who wanted McM to fail simply because I liked him best.
Deep. Yeah, I think that was my fat fucking finger. Sorry.
Okay, good.
I wish something resembling a defense would show up in the first half of a game.
Did someone get a hand on that fg? Or are we not the only team with a shankmaster kicker.
Not to go on a rant…but… I get ranting about plays and player performance, I don’t get the point of beating a player up on social media or irl, how does that help them get their head straight?
Reminds me of the time I talked to Joe Halahuni after the play where he dropped that end zone catch he came out to his car that had been keyed, WTF.
Btw, that wasn’t directed ‘at’ you
Why are there so few people sitting in the terrace endzone seats? All in line for beer? Looks really bad on tv
Best time to drink is when we are defense.
Except we only play d for 1 minute, not reallyenough time to get a beer before the o takes the field again.
Get a bottle of bourbon, you’ll need it.
ALL YALL FITTIN GET LAID TFB OUT!!**
*** NEWS FLA$H; DEM BEAVERS AINT SHIT YALL … WATCH DA SHOOOW!!!***
WE BRAKEN BACKS!!;-(
Thanks ducky, good luck with the furd lol
Catch the f-ing ball!
How does the crowd and student section look?
Anyone have a good link?
Depressed?
So Daniel Rodriguez gets 60 plus yards on his first punt, and then we switch punters? Still a good result for Lochner, but odd to pull the hot leg
Tate doesn’t need to run, their running backs are doing just fine. Come on defense! Play ball!
Yoooo fr dis site on that windows 98 vibe fashooo chat room dawg ,,,),-;
YALL TAKEN L’S
Lazy, heartless tackling on that TD.
Yup
Yeah that was weird, I thought tackling was supposed to be a point of emphasis. And why are they grabbing at a ball instead of tackling?
They already looked gassed on D. These 3 & out drives by our offense will only make it worse.
3 fumbles by AZ all recovered by AZ of course…. Smalls just fucked this game up with that drop
The defense doesn’t even appear to be paying at full speed. They’re just acting like they want to rush and stand in one place.
At least the tackling on punt coverage is……wait that sucks as well.
Fans are embarrassingly quiet.
What’s the attendance?
3/4 full. Lots of students. Not a lot to chear above about.
How was Blount not down?
Looks hurt. Crazy Leg Colletto time.
Blount was down before the hit that knocked the ball out. Glad Blount didnt get hurt worse
If the QB is sitting on the turf, holding the ball, isnt he downed at that point? How can that be a fumble?
Prepare for 3 straight run plays
With 3 timeouts, that Colletto run play before bringing Blount back in seemed like a wasted play.
My man Doug Auckerman looks like he’s not happy with blount but then let’s him back on the field
Gebbia in the house
Send him in!
They should announce him as next year’s starter at halftime.
He might transfer before then.
Has Hodgins had a ball thrown his way all day?
Guy couldn’t miss a ball last week, and now we abandon him?
Out gained 347-122. Major regression in all phases. Blount and the O having a rough day. We need the O to be on point to have a chance in any game. The D lacks talent and today seems to lack energy today.
Sort of wishing Luton was available
Unless Luton can help our defense it wouldn’t matter.
Scoring points helps your defense.
The D thinks it’s a walk through.
Only positive is we are not down by three TD’s.
Halftime adjustment………..don’t touch em till they are 9 yards downfield. They are executing perfectly.
Bruce Read-esque
Pac12/Fat Chip Kelly PSA talking about the effect his methane footprint has on the planet
Terrace more empty, beer line growing
I wish I were hiking in Rocky Mountain NP.
What were you thinking Charlie Brown?
He loves the VanPelts
So does our coaching staff.
We’ve regressed since Ohio State in all facets except maybe punting
I like WT, but he needs to show improvement this year. We actually dumped men’s BB tix in favor of the rueck led wbb beavs
Maybe we can get Arizona to “Schooler” our defense on how to tackle.
Sac State alum feeling at home in Reser
It’s like the whole team gets the yips whenever thry get in the redzone.
15 year old boy syndrome.
“OMG we’re going to score!”
Noah’s was driving that dude back and hands never went outside the frame, bad call by the official
Nothing like running for a 2 yard loss on 3rd and 27.
At least throw it up and hope for a PI??
Exactly. You gotta take a chance there. What’s the worst that will happen if you throw the ball 20 yards down field and it’s picked? You’re probably punting anyway. Nothing is worse than being a bad team playing boring football.
They had a play for 5 yards, just missed on the execution
When did holding become a 14 yard penalty? Il
And once again we’re left rooting for a Duck loss to salvage the day.
I’m just glad Hockey has started.
I know beavers and trees have an uncomfortable relationship, but maybe Furd can still do us a solid
Missed the whole first half cuz I live in Maui and it’s so hard to find a bar with Pac 12 (Thx Larry scott). Stats look like were letting them run wild. Anything else that I missed other than being in the red zone and then getting 2 holding penalties and a fumble. No wonder we put up yds but don’t score.
They broke our will. We’ve stopped even trying.
Team has already quit, and it’s only game 4 of the Smith era
Game was lost on that game FG
This game has a GA & Company feel to it.
Well we are in Pac-12 play now. Southern Utah and Nevada are just that.
While the run defense has been terrible. 28 points in the 4th quarter is about expected. Only 7 points on offense? Yikes. No flow, Blount has looked terrible.
Both our lines are getting man handled.
Written after the 3rd play of the game. No protection, no running lanes, etc. Arizona is just man handling our lines.
Team just quit, ugh
The defense is who we thought they were, disappointed however with the offense
If I’m one of the commits at this game I’m looking elsewhere
Wasn’t tibesars thing effort and running to the ball? Lol
And tackling
Isaah Hodgins sighting
And he makes a nice grab for a 1st down. Imagine that…
Need to take some shots deep at this point
We should be throwing every play right now.
The play calling this game has been horrible.
Compared to Ohio State night and day. He called a great game considering how overmatched they were. Used lots of screens etc. I feel like they’re playing close to the line to stop the run and short passes. Then u have to take some shots deep especially at this point.
Blount gets sacked before receivers have time to get downfield
Huge part of the problem. I was pretty pissed that we weren’t taking any deep shots, but it’s because the line is just not winning the battle today. Same goes for the running game, hard to run well when you get no holes to hit.
These pac 12 network announcers are horrible.
‘Thats a sack! Well technically not a sack because he didn’t lose yards.’
Yeah, technically that’s the definition of a sack, the QB would have to be tackled for a loss to be a sack. Technically.
Wow, just wow. Unbelievable. You could drive a truck through the holes Arizona is opening up.
I wrote after last week this team would not win another game. The WORST team in the Pac-12 is leaps and bounds better than Nevada. Arizona is terrible and they’ve managed 14 whole points.
I’ve seen the Beavs do some stupid shit in my years (two backwards punts for example) but today was a new one. 17 play drive that gets in the red zone and ends in a punt. Way to keep finding new ways to fuck up and disappoint me Beavs.
I’ve seen enough to know these guys are terrible. We have some skill players at receiver and in the backfield but not much else. O and D lineman recruiting needs to be a priority.
Game 1 – Beavs score 31 points against tOSU. Over half of those came in garbage time against the backups. Hooray! Reason for optimism. Not here. D sucks and gave up 77.
Game 2 – Beavs win after impressive first half, non impressive 2nd. Hooray! Reason for optimism. Not here. FCS opponent. ‘Nuf said.
Game 3 – Come back on the road and lose after falling behind 30-7. Hooray! We almost came back and won. Not here. Nevada is fucking terrible and worse than the worst Pac-12 team.
It is what it is. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Until the powers that be at Oregon St take winning in football seriously, this is the garbage we’ll get. Which is why I’ve said we should drop down to the mountain west conference.
I’m out until the upcoming men’s hoops season failure
Which is why I’ve said we should drop down to the mountain west conference.
I’ve been saying that for like a decade. People get so mad.
Seen some Wyoming and CSU and both would beat us soundly. Keep in mind Wyoming is the least populated State in the Country, and that team would beat us soundly.
That would be a financially horrible idea.
Didn’t we just get 10 mil in donations and blow it on Gary Andersen? I’m not sure we can be trusted with money.
Ideally we need better players and all that, but the leadership is incompetent. At that point you have to consider teams on your level, but I actually think the Mountain West is better than the Beavs right now.
I was going to argue but I got nothin’
The $10m went to the VFC.
But if GA wasn’t at least honorable in leaving the money on the table, the poor decisions made would have been spent on him.
We know for sure what Bikey would have done with the contracted payout had he stayed and continued to regress at OSU.
So, while it’s not OSU’s smart and efficient use of funds that is at fault, we’ve lucked into a revenue positive situation.
Because what they’re currently and have been attempting is working out so well.
Lose long enough and most of the fan base gives up and finds better things to do on fall Saturdays.
I’m finding myself giving up because I’ve seen this same horrible football for the better part of my life.
You’d still see the same horrible football, only in the Mountain West. It might be more frustrating to see us get blasted by Wyoming…
I was going to say ‘but then we wouldn’t get to see the better teams in the country.’ Then I realized we can still play the body bag games against the Ohio States etc and make aome sweet cash
I wrote that here last year and was pretty much blasted.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but it’s just a stupid idea. We’re one of the four founding members of the conference. If it weren’t for OSU, Nikegon would be in the Big West after they ratted on the pay-for-play scandal (something they did themselves).
The Pac is an educational coalition first. Athletics are secondary. And football, in all its sucky glory, is only a fraction of that secondary idea.
But hey… if we go to the MWC, Rueck would win the conference every year, as would baseball.
So there’s that.
Let me rephrase that. The Worst team in the pac-12 not named Oregon St is leaps and bounds better than Nevada.
https://twitter.com/angrybeavs/status/1043634159678152710
That was designed so the defense can get old the field and the offense can work on some more plays
Decided to go out, get some sun and exercise, and run some errands after the half instead of sticking around for more crappy football. That’s what I call good game management!
We might have some coach openings soon. Keep building that resume.
Crazy leg!
Did Colletto play? I haven’t watched the game yet.
I’m not sold on Crazy Legs. I think a better nickname would be Broadside.
Given that this was one of the potential wins, are there any others?
LOL
Great play by tago
Now watch us give up a safety
Exactly what I was thinking. Sad thing.
Turnover chainsaw when down 21. Okay…
That chainsaw bullshit was the worst thing all day. Made me puke in my mouth.
Eh, kid earned the recognition. If you are going to recognize a player for making a play, you don’t just change your mind in a blowout.
If you’re saying they should get rid of it altogether, ok, but at least there was one kid still giving effort at the end of a shellacking
Looks pathetic down 3 TD’s
Plenty of things looked pathetic today
…You’re assuming that somebody watches us or gives a shit what we do
Good point, OJ.
That was a Gary Andersen level performance by the team. Lights out from beginning to end….
No offensive identity, defense looked confused and unprepared. Constantly out of position, what a mess.
Old Dominion we are not.
We’re VaTech in that scenario… lunch pails and all.
Welcome to the shit show, coach Smith. As you can see, it isn’t 2000 anymore.
Well, if he has the stomach for it, Scott Reuck has proven you can rebuild from the ashes.
GA was the Lavonda of VFC
Yeah, what we need now is LaFonda. ive been chatting online with hot babes all day.
Scotty benefited from having nobody on the roster when he showed up. That’s a huge plus for building a program, including a built-in excuse for a couple years. It’s really easy to recruit when you can honestly sit in a PSA’s living room and tell them they will start on day 1.
If Scotty would have taken over a full roster, he would probably have a .500 record as of now. The team would be showing improvement, but he wouldn’t have stacked the roster with primo players from top to bottom like he did.
I’ve said before and I’ll say it again. We need to recruit first and foremost linemen on both sides of the ball. Everything else depends on it.
I’m not so down
Offensive performance was horrific and that dragged the entire team down.
It wasn’t play calling but execution.
Blount Missed many open receivers it’s not funny
Holy smokes….. baseball season yet?
D played as expected. O sucked shit. At least we should have Luton back for next week in Tempe. Hopefully UW puts a beating on ASU tonite.
Ducks look better than Stanford so far, too. Great day to be a Beav?
I don’t believe in their HC at all, but maybe they have the talent to overcome him.
Also, I was stupid to pick the Beavs. I knew they wouldn’t win, but I wanted to believe it. What’s happening to me!? I’m becoming one of the hope and dreamers. Pettibonehead for the win with his prediction. They found every which way to fuck up the game. I got Charlie Browned.
Hard reality is that we just aren’t going to be able to compete with Pac-12 teams with this roster, especially on D. At this point, every opposing coach can take a look at our film and see that while we’ve got some weapons and ability on offense, a lot of our players on defense would struggle to make the 2-deep on a FCS roster. It’s not an overly complicated week of game planning. No matter of coaching or scheme will be able to overcome those glaring deficiencies in personnel and ability.
But not all doom and gloom for me, it was an ugly performance but there are individuals you can see development and growth in. Biggest challenge will be in keeping them playing hard against athletes that so clearly out-class them throughout the Pac12 schedule, that took a toll today and it’s only gonna get way worse.
The offense actually needed Luton for relief pitcher today. Blount looked decent early on, but got folded up on a scramble sack some time in the late first quarter. He didn’t look sharp thereafter. Coaches weren’t ready to throw out Colletto, so Blount just had to gut it out and he seemed foggy most of the game. Blount looked more exhausted on the empty 17 play drive than the AZ defense did. Jefferson looks explosive but he needs to have peirce back for a 1-2 punch. Jefferson will be a great back but isn’t ready like Quizz to carry the entire load. He is getting shelled like Nall was last year.
The defense played 9 vs 11, assuming Tate may run. They maybe kept a spy on him and Aydon just occupied a spot in front of the center and let the back run past his hip the entire game. Aydon can’t figure out how to use his arms to tackle while the back is within reach. Pretty sad if there isn’t someone quicker to replace him. DL is the biggest need. Captain Obvious…
Arizona would have sacked Luton like 20 times with the pressure they were getting and Luton being a statue. Blount was 17/24 with 2TD and 0 INTs. He isn’t close to the reason they lost.
It’s on the D… Blasted fur 400+ rushing, Jesus help us
The D was certainly horrible, but it was (is?) on the lines. Can’t stop anyone and can’t block.
So is it time for the Beavers to run a triple option offence. At least the QB will have a reason to hold on to the ball and get hit.
The Ducks have another Heisman publicity campaign with Herbert. Remember when Jacquizz was awesome and the Beavs did nothing to promote him? Yeah…
Right, he’s thrown 12tds and 4 ints, with a 57% completion. Good but not eye-popping and against meh competition. I guess he’s 14/15 tonight, and has some nice rushing yards.
They’ll milk it, though, for all it’s worth…whereas the Beavs ignore campaigns for the rare great they have.
Meh competition?
They’ve played against arguably the worst two FBS teams and the worst FCS team.
Meh would be a huge upgrade.
Defensive Line needs some more talent. Looking at the current commits next year, 4 out of 11 are on the DL which is nice. None on the OL. I hope they can get some more talent on both lines or it’s gonna be the same thing next year.
Gebbia is huge upgrade over our current QBs. But it won’t matter if we don’t have a line to protect him (since we lose 3 of our seniors on the OL).
Moore had 13 solo tackles. It’s nice to have a couple standout safeties, but I’d trade one or two for a standout linebacker or DE right now. Maybe the OL will be addition by subtraction next year (knock on wood).
13 tackles from a safety is a bad thing.
Yup
If we wore our big boy pants and played our war daddy’s, Beavs would have dominated today. But alas, Zona brought their A game.
Did Arizona know that this is our house?
They must not have known it was our house, because had they know it was our house… “if you come here and don’t bring your A-game, we’re going to hand your butt to you!” – Ed Ray
hey hey it was only 14 to 7 at the half
Who was Ed standing behind when he said that?
Anyone have a better explanation of those pylon calls on the Stanford/Duck game?
Duck runner hits the pylon with his foot as he angles into the endzone but never touches the ground in the endzone, only lands out of bounds:No touchdown
Bryce Love avoids the pylon and lands out of bounds, never touches the endzone and lands out of bounds: Touchdown
Both runners had the ball outside of the pylon as they passed into the line of the endzone.
The first is easy. The Duck hit the pylon, which is considered oob. So where the ball is when he touches oob is where it’s spotted.
Love’s TD shouldn’t have been one, but it was called so on the field. And since there’s no camera angle good enough to tell if the ball is outside or over the pylon as it crosses the goal line, replay can only go with the call on the field. If the multi-billion dollar business that is football would invest in proper camera coverage on the most important part of the field, we wouldn’t have what I think was a blown call there.
If it’s any consolation to Duck fan, they probably would have played poor D on 1st and goal also. So that blown call wasn’t so bad. It’s not like Shaw’s teams snap the ball to the 20 on 1st and goal from the 1.
This Oregon game is good. Mario the fraud cost them the win in regulation. Now they have to try to overcome him in OT.
They went from Mariota to Marioduh
I might have to steal that if they lose
Steal it like Masoli on a laptop
oregon/Stanford has been entertaining. ducks had this thing in the bag and got excitable while stanford played slow and steady and it’s overtime.
Stanford with the momentum. Cover mitchell
What a clutch catch.
AND THE WEEKEND IS SAVED!
Well that salvages the Saturday a little bit
Well at least we got to watch the ducks fall apart on gameday.
Called Mario a fraud from day 1. He’s just as bad as Willie. Both are straight out of a Frank Mackey seminar.
Both are still light years better than jonny boy sadly
Disagree.
Really?
How many SWAC or Sun Belt or whatever titles did Maestro Mario win as a HC in his first gig?
OSU may have an uphill battle, but we have nowhere to go but up. You guys get to go from mediocrity to this weird amalgam of poor mistakes which cost you a game you shouldn’t have been in.
I’m not sure that is even considered cougin it, that was so bad I would call that duckin it
with a minute left they could have taken a knee and won. Amazing choke job
Trying to rack up style points, because style is all the Ducks know.
OT poor Army took Oklahoma to over time and lost.
Oklahoma hates America.
Did they kneel?
What?
Are they baking bread?
How the hell is Herm Edwards hanging with Washington?
First play of the game uw qb not named Browning three an int. Probably be 17-3 at the half of not for that.
Because he’s a decent coach, and college football sucks.
I have no clue what you all thought was funny about Herm other than his recruiting gaffes. But when he pulled in a good class on half the time, you kept making fun of him for some reason.
You’re the fool now.
Got to figure out a way to push pat casey into the AD position he would get the old side in reser rebuilt in 5 years max, only way the football team gets turned around in the next 10 years. Need a twitter campaign with thousands of email and letters sent to ed ray might get it rolling.
Also need to tear out the astro-turf and put in grass like Erickson was gonna do
Haha
Oregon has some beef on the lines. Very concerned about the Civil War ending up like it did last year.
Glad to see them choke away this one.
Barnes should be fired for not talking Casey out of retiring
Barnes should be fired
Could have stopped here.
Ax State looks good in this Wash game. We probably going to get murdered next week.
It could be worse.

Wow.
I don’t know if Willis can be broken of his habit of shooting gaps too quickly. At least this year he’s early in the right gaps. But his angles still belie his timing.
Is this a tweet from his girlfriend?
:-)
I’ve been slightly higher on Blount all year but I think that has changed. The line got beat today but Blount has a tendency to not stay in the pocket and finish with pressure. Luton did that last week much better than Blount. There were multiple times that Blount pulled the ball down when he still had time to make the throw. I couldn’t see the coverage but with Arizona’s play this year, it would be surprising.
Inexperience due to number of starts? Not the only reason contributing of course.
The new redshirt rule this year(4 games being played while still redshirting) has made the whole transfer process more interesting.
Just yesterday, oregon RB Taj Griffin announced after the stanford win he intends to transfer. By leaving now, he will get to call this his redshirt year and next year he will be a grad transfer and be able to play anywhere. I guess he didnt like having the freshman take his starting spot
The frosh didn’t so much take his spot as he did give away the game.
