Oh well, life goes on. We are still in the driver's seat for the Rose Bowl. We control our own destiny. Even if we lose one more we still have a good shot, but then it gets ugly. 3 wins and we are in the Rose Bowl. Oh man, every game is going to be so freakin' nerve racking. Go Ducks! Either way, i'm proud of this team. Our defense needs to man up after yesterday.
I'm not too concerned about our defense. Remember just a few weeks ago how everyone was saying how great our defense was: and it still is. Yes they had a letdown vs. Stanford, but give them credit: they had an extra week to prepare, and clearly made the most of it. Luck played the best game of his life, and Gerhardt was stellar too. Arizona State is a perfect game for the Duckies to get back on track, and I fully expect that they will.
Interesting that you watched that Nebraska/Colorado game and you failed to notice that it wasn't played AT COLORADO. It was the Big XII Title game and it's played in Texas every year. How do you figure that Oregon wasn't screwed that year? Nebraska was dominated in their LAST game. Oregon was never dominated by Stanford. I was at the game. It was a rather fluky win for Stanford in that they blocked two huge punts. Joey Harrington had a a Hail Mary opportunity to tie the game. Anyway, I find it odd how two people can have such differing opinions about objective data. At least I don't misremember the facts.
Right. I really hope we just destroy them and get our mojo back. But the thing is, Masoli and James played well and we lost. First time this year. But mad props to Stanford, the better team won. Our offense played up to their ability and we lost.
