Ducks Not Helping Right Now

Oregon is just not playing well today. Dumb penalties on the goal line that lead to a safety. Too many turnovers. Defense is having a hard time stopping the run. Goal line offense shows why you need a fullback, can't run up the middle at all. 

Need to pick it up at the start of the 4th quarter. Would hate to see Stanford drop in the polls because of an Oregon loss to Auburn.

Field Goals

This game is a classic example of why you kick field goals when you have been stopped near the goal line.

Stanford would've been a stronger opponent than the Quacks

Auburn had a lllloooonnnnggggg time to prepare for OR’s gimmick offense and it shows.

When the Dux got down near the goal line they couldn’t punch it in — didn’t have the power game and there was no space for them to operate. Stuffed.

I’m surprised it’s even this close.

I don’t care about the polls but if Oregon doesn’t pull this out I drop to 2nd in the pool that actually pays — 60% fewer $.

They shut down Dux running game

Throwing the ball not Thomas’ strong suit. Excellent strategy.

Another stab at the goal line

Time for some creativity. Nothing doing up the middle.

Whoopee!

Now stiffen your spines, Ducky D

I said "stiffen," not "remove." Sheesh.

Oh well, they made it interesting for a bit there.

Should have removed spines

They should have let them score with a minute to go.

Kick field goals. I watched geniuses at Notre Dame pass up field goals for years only to watch it bite them in the rear. Take the points.

Stanford probably number 4-5, bet Ohio State jumps them.
