glduck Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 A day later and I still don’t like the play calling before the half or the 4th quarter decision to not punt. I was fine with going for it late in last year’s game — our defense was atrocious, and our punter was not good. Realistic best case scenario we push Washington 30 yards downfield, which Penix would make up in 2 plays. Yesterday, a punt likely pins Washington around the 10. With about two minutes to play, and no timeouts, and good christ we were hitting Penix hard and I dunno if he holds up with the hits he’d take attempting to go 90 yards. Right before the half, we were gashing UW on the ground. Got to the 3 yard line, Lanning with a timeout in his back pocket. That’s Irving or James time. You don’t get in, you take the TO and the points. I know Nix missed a guy in the EZ, the play call wasn’t horrible, but you not only risk coming up empty you give UW the momentum. Gotta execute, blah blah, I thought Lanning looked like a young coach who got too cute. That said, UW you have a hell of a team, you bastards. Penix is the best player in the country. I hope these heavyweight fights continue in the B1G. I also hope we win one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg, it’s been the talk lately, it was a joke and it’s a message board. Unlike orange and Ute (see, a joke), I don’t really care about tswift.

utenation Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 USC -5.5 Oregon -19.5 UCLA -16.5 Washington -28.5 Even though USC is struggling, I have zero, repeat zero confidence Bryson Barnes can get a high quality road win in this league. He will be a turnover machine in this game. So unless our defense goes absolutely crazy and dominates this game, I’ll take USC by 7-10.

glduck Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 The back half of the Bellotti era was a wild roller coaster. Absolutely no way to know what you were going to get week to week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some critics always try to shame the ducks for Nike money but there’s plenty of schools that get big time money and don’t do shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row Z Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Just heard John Wilner say that he does not think the buffs make a bowl game this year. They need two more wins out of: @ UCLA, Beavs, AZ, @ WSU, @ Utah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would definitely say a bowl game is iffy right now. Of those 5 games, WSU might be a win but it’s on the road. Recently CU barely beat ASU and lost to Stanford. The two worst teams in the conference. So I like my chances with our bet. CU has no defense, no rush game and maybe the worst O line in the country with the most sacks allowed in FBS. I think the coach “Prime” magic show has been over for 2-3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to win some games they aren’t supposed to, a tall order! regarding our bet, I like your chances more than I did! I still think they will win at least one, but last Friday certainly shakes the confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These programs have already figured out how to maximize revenue. The way you made it sound last time is Sanders is King Midas and everything he touches turns to gold for the rest of the conference, which simply isn’t true. BTW, I posted average attendance numbers through last week a few days ago. UCLA definitely needs help to fill seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding UCLA's attendance, for whatever reason, they now have a profitable sellout on their hands (and maybe some new-found local interest in the process.) I'd guess the sellout has more to do with Sanders than with either Colorado or UCLA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
