Re: Game Thread? Congrats to James - all time leading scorer. That says a lot. He did it on a fight and overpowering two Beav linemen, and even got his helmet ripped off. Typical!! Congrats to James!
Re: Game Thread? The refs have missed some big calls in this quarter. They didn't call that personal foul which was obvious. They didn't call helmet to helmet on that 3rd down.
Re: Game Thread? Agreed. Some missed calls. Very vanilla play calling by Oregon. Maybe a close first half, with Oregon opening it up in the second. Thomas just isn't looking sharp. He's gotta get his head in the game!!
Re: Game Thread? I understand this is a bit of a scrimmage like game for Oregon and we're pretty much sticking to the first page of the playbook and rotating 2's and 3's - but, let's get a few more pts on the board before we let up. LOL.
Re: Game Thread? We deserve to lose this game with the way we're playing so far. This is not a championship team and if we continue to play like this we will get absolutely demolished in the Rose Bowl. Our offense just looks extremely one-dimensional and teams have figured out that we can't pass.
Re: Game Thread? Saw that too. That was really ugly and right in front of ref. I can see not calling that on an incomplete or no gain, but that should be an auto call on a TD - as without the hold defender gets to the QB. Oh, well.
Re: Game Thread? Well, I disagree. Oregon is being very respectful by not putting the pedal down. We're just running a slow tempo, simple play calling game.
Re: Game Thread? That doesn't make any sense. I don't think we're coasting. I think teams have figured out that we are a running team and they stack for the run. We've had so many looks for deep and Thomas just can't hit it. He doesn't have the accuracy.
Re: Game Thread? I'm out for a while. Gonna watch the game with my wife and kids. Keep in mind the 2's and 3's we're playing. We're playing our #3 RB. Kelly is being respectful to Riley and trying to help him look good. Simple dives, over and over and over. We'll win, but it appears Kelly is treating this as a scrimmage. Go Patos!!
Re: Game Thread? This is the perfect game! I jumped in the car just as the Beavers tied it up, which is nice that the Beavers got to tie the game. Makes them feel like they participated for a little while. Then BAM! Two quick Duck scores!
