Wow! I can't recall a game this season with such simple play calling and formations. I don't have anything to back this up but a somewhat educated opinion, but I believe Oregon went into this game concentrating on simplicity and execution. It was actually a bit boring for those who admire Oregon's playbook, but that was the gameplan... I expect a wide-open playbook on Jan 10th. So, congrats to the lifelong Duck fans and the newcomers. Enjoy this ride!! As insane as this sounds, it's just how this 30+ year fan feels - I want Oregon to win in the NC game, but either way, am good. Last year, I didn't expect Oregon to beat OSU and was just happy to sit front row and take in the festivities. I look forward to the same on Jan 10th! Go Ducks and THANKS for the amazing ride!
I agree. Thank you ducks. In a year that hasn't gone my way in many things in life, this nearly outweighs them all. Thank you.
Yeah, Chip really ground this game down. So many running plays, but between James and Barner we chewed em up.
JR, my plan is to write a few reports from Glendale for Sports Two. Hopefully, the Ducks and reports will be more bright areas for you. Go Ducks!
Chip is a true chess-master and I don't believe for a second that the play calling here wasn't influenced on a future showdown between Auburn and Oregon. Really playing it close to the chest. I'm in NY today. Gave a guy who was flying an Auburn flag and wearing colors the O sign, while wearing a green/yellow hoodie and sporting my Oregon plates and an O sticker. We had a nice laugh at 65 mph. LOL. Go Ducks!
