Fucking embarrassing. How do you average 4 more yards per pass and 1 more yard per run and still lose the game by three scores? This is how- Oregon: 46 plays Iowa State: 85 plays Oregon: 6.8 yards per play Iowa State: 4.5 yards per play TOP: Iowa State 43 minutes Oregon 17 minutes
-5 turnover margin, although one doesn’t get recorded as a turnover because it was a kick-off. 1. Travis Dye fumbles at his own 20. 2. Kick-off is a pooch kick and Oregon doesn’t know what to fucking do so corn people get it. 3. Punt return is muffed when an Iowa State player pushes an Oregon blocker into the ball. 4. Called a fumble on the field as QB is fighting for half a yard after picking up the first down, replay can’t overturn it although he’s probably down. 5. Late meaningless INT by Shuck because why the fuck not, he hadn’t turned it over yet. Bonus: Iowa State fumbled at their 20 and Oregon recovered but ref had blown it dead. Extra bonus: Long TD pass in first half negated by a holding at the line of scrimmage, after the pass was thrown.
Worst play of the game: Oregon has a 4th and 2 and the 50 and sends in the punt team. At that point Iowa State couldn’t stop Oregon’s offense and they just said fuck it lets punt.
Until further notice I’m calling him Cristo since the only person who makes that call has no bals.
Who in their right mind would play Tyler Shuck when you have the perfect QB for your system in Anthony Brown? Fuck fuck fuckity fuck.
How do you think “fuck this guy, put in Tyler Shuck”?
Sorry for the embarrassing representation, conference of champions. Sorry, Larry Scott. Sorry, North Division champs. Sorry, Clay Helton. Sorry, incoming recruits. Sorry, goodnight Moon. Sorry, neighbors who had to hear bad words being screamed by the unfriendly guy down the street.
Those times against Washington were such a rarity that I can’t believe they actually happened. Cristobal is so conservative it feels like watching SEC football in the early 2000s. If he could punt it on third down he would consider it.
We’ve reached the point where even the Polyanna quooks are wondering what is going on. It’s almost like Cristo’s first big game, where he went for the throat against Stanford with Gameday and prime time ABC, and CJ Verdell fumbled it after getting the game ending first down- has caused him to stop taking any risks. Settling for field goals inside the 5 has now cost him 3-4 games over the last two years.
Thanks for listening to my bitching, even though I know y’all just like to see Ducks miserable. I’m tired of hearing they tried and thought they were doing the right thing, because I’m a fan of a football program and not Mrs Jones’ kindergarten class.
This is honestly surprising to me. I don't watch much Duck football outside of the UW games and I was convinced Mario was a new school gambler who understood the value of going for it on fourth downs. His willingness to take risk and Pete's failure at doing so was the difference in both of MC's wins over us.
I'm not sure if this is good news or bad but it somehow makes those losses suck even more knowing they were a due to a philosophical outlier.
I think he just knew jimmy's defense was so weak it overcame his conservative nature
Bad coaching. Period. The Wright and DJ Johnson fiascos is coaching. Gotta be prepared for that.
Not knowing that Brown is better than Shough until today is coaching.
Oregon has good talent but needs help on the interior D line.
Two good things happened to them today. Shough threw another Pick just to make sure that the coaching staff doesn’t forget that he sucks. And Jordon Scott is done.
Not you specifically, but it’s killing me how many people aren’t understanding that Wright isn’t really at fault for that. That’s 99% on the returner. It’s his responsibility to communicate where the ball is while it’s in the air because his blockers aren’t supposed to be looking up for it. Possession then position.
I don’t know if it’s Moorhead or Cristobal that wanted Shough, or if Shough is one of those practice superstars but game day duds. Coaching mistake, one is clearly better than the other. Unlike some people I don’t bet on incoming freshmen QBs, so hopefully Brown comes back.
Couldn’t agree more on Jordon Scott. He wins the rare Jaison Williams “What the Fuck Happened” senior year award. Losing 20 pounds of fat somehow made him slower, other than Jaison Williams getting the yips I’ve never seen a senior regress that bad. He had a sack in the game but it was pretty much just him tripping and falling on Rudy or whatever that Iowa QB is. Scott used to be good, might have cost himself that one year of UDFA practice sqwad money. This year he and Faoliu didn’t try. It was the weakest part of the whole team, defense wasn’t horrific if it had DT play. Thanks to Cort Dennison for getting Dorlus at the last minute, and to Bobby Williams for Kristian Williams, otherwise that interior DL would be fucked. Just goes to show that 3-star DTs from the South are worth more than Cali low 4-stars.
My favorite part of the game was when Mikael Wright came running in out of nowhere and tried to catch the punt with his helmet.
I was 30 seconds behind the broadcast because I rewound for something Minnesota did. I got a text from a fellow Duck that said mean things about Mykael Wright, and I was confused because Wright was having another great game - and the Hawkeyes were punting so he hadn’t blown a coverage. Then I saw Wright enter the frame and knew what was going to happen. Kansas State ball.
Always been a fan of Oregon when I bet $50 on them.
Iowa State +5.5 seemed crazy to me. It’s still Iowa State. Going 8-3 in the Big 12 isn’t that tough. Not that Oregon is good, but they have a lot more talent than Iowa State.
Looking dialed in as usual
I normally am and made it up with the Ravens and Steelers today.
