Masa Funa down...hope it's not serious.

Yeah, he wasn't at full speed yet from previous injuries.

Man, AB on a rushing TD from 43 yards out. nice formation and pre snap motion..really confused the Bruins. Really nice to see this.

Unbelievable...I'll take the win.

Thanks goodness for the defense. They shouldn't have had to come in like that to save the day. I'll have to look at the stats as the got pressure and hit the QB over and over. 

Agreed! But that’s the way it’s been this whole season. Ducks are winning because of the Def.

Go Ducks!
FYI, I won my tennis match too! Double Boom! Quack Quack!!

Pretty happy with that win.  OkSt was ranked ahead of us and went on the road to a good and dangerous, if not consistent, opponent.  Penn State lost to Illinois at home.  Our loss at Stanford just doesn't look so horrible when you see results like that.  It's a weird year, and this was a good win against a dangerous and senior-loaded team.  And like the Ohio State game, though we could have found a way to lose it, I don't think anyone could say the better team lost.  We were the better team.

I'm also happy with KT being dominant.  Due to his early season injury and not being full-strength, the committee will consider that when they look at the Stanford loss.  I also think they'll look at Moorhead being out for that game, it certainly has been talked about a lot.

Our chances of winning out look a lot better today than they did last Sunday.  And I think our chances of making the playoffs if we do win out are quite good.  Chaos always helps and there's been a lot.  Oklahoma has a good four games they could easily lose (including the B12 championship), I don't see them winning them all.  Every B1G East team has a brutal schedule remaining.  Even Cincy showed they are vulnerable and if they do drop a game we're almost certainly ahead of them.

I'm real happy with the win, tho my BP was through the roof in the 4th...KT and Noah S. are an offenses nightmare, and other players are really stepping up. Ducks just need to keep winning, and the rest will take care of itself. We still have the best OOC win out there, I believe. Ranked 8th now. Go Ducks!

 

Absolutely.  Not just best OOC win.  The only team at this point that can claim to have a better win is aTm over Bama, and they aren't in playoff contention (and, it was a home game, ours was on the road).  You go down all the possible playoff contenders, and what's their best win?

Games that might be in the conversation:
UGA over UK (at home).
Alabama over Ole Miss (at home).
Cincy at Notre Dame.
I might have said Iowa over PSU at home, but wins over Penn State got devalued yesterday.

Maybe Ohio State's season goes down the tubes against PSU and the Michigan schools but from what we can see right now, our win is arguably the best of the season in or out of conference.  And actually, our second best OOC win is probably better than anyone else's second best OOC, too.  Here's hoping Fresno State puts a dent in SDSU next week.
