Phil and I both have prior commitments, and may not be around for the game, so I thought I'd put up the chat early. GO DUCKS!!!

I should be able to drop in for the first half at least.

Great weather and day in Eugene.

Go Ducks!!!

One of my favorite uniform options, an updated take on the classic yellow and green. Love the look.

The "mic'd up" pregame isn't going to show any strategy or game plan. Instead it's coaches hooping and hollering. It might actually be of interest if they you could hear something of relevance.

And in other news; the Beavs survive SDU and did not look that good. Bama wins 17-3 essentially on FSU failing on 4th downs and turnover. Also didn’t look like a winner. Where did Bama go?

Thanks for the update. I’ve been busy to and on the go all day and haven’t had a chance to catch up with anything football related yet. I don’t know what’s happening with Alabama? You just always assume they’re going to be the best team or not far off. I would love to see an underdog win it this year, but at this point, it could be another Georgia championship. No thanks

I feel like I still don't know how good the Ducks can be. Last week was a tough road environment. Today we have another major drop in talent and home game. A lot of years I feel like I know what the team will be like by the start of the 3rd game and this isn't that type of season for me at least.

Things are going great and all.....but if our offensive line doesn't start run blocking better and Stein can't draw up some better running plays, this team has no chance to win this conference.

Everything else looking fine.

I'm wondering if we'll ever see our stud LB transfer Jacobs this year? We really need some help at LB.

That's a good point. It's not that the Ducks don't have top tier RB's. The blocking last week was abysmal along with the play calling. Reminded me far to much of Mario style run game.

Well, we do have 128 yds on the ground 4min into the second. Yes, it’s Hawaii.

I was just hoping our run game would be our bread and butter this year. So far, it's obviously not.

Oline still young and learning to play together. They will improve as the year goes along. I've been pleasantly surprised with the pass blocking, however.

Nix still has a tendency to abandon the pocket prematurely though.

It's interesting in how quickly Bo turns to his feet. It's working for the most part. He doesn't want to wait around or just throw the ball away. Most of the time it seems to be working for him.

Game is over. Ducks have made nice corrections from last week but Hawaii CLEARLY doesn't have the same caliber of athletes.

I am going to watch the end of FL vs Tenn and then "scout"😂Oregon's next week's opponent CU vs CSU!

DurangoDuck · 9/16/2023 5:48 pm

It was a pretty clean game until that last couple minutes. 5 penalties between 2 on the O that cost us a TD (thanks to sold gold Cam for the 3) then a quick 3 penalties on the D, including that careless jump offside on the missed kick. While 7 points differential won’t affect this game that will cost us in league play.

I’ve been flipping to the Tenn game, looks like they will fall to the Gators. Then I will flip back and forth to Prime time.
