As expected, the Ducks are going all-black on Saturday:

Nice! I remember my first game 15 years ago. It was a fun time.Duck24 wrote:Taking my four year old son to his first game this weekend. Hopefully the Ducks give us a show.
So my understanding is there's no holding after the pocket is broken, but DPI is still on the table once the ball is in the air.Duck07 wrote:So does anyone know if college is like the NFL in this regard and when the QB leaves the tackle box the WRs can be hit? I feel like I've seen way too much DPI on us in the past for this to be the case."We practice the scramble drill, so when it happened we all knew we were supposed to plaster to our receivers," sophomore safety Nick Pickett said.

It's definitely lame from a fan perspective. We're not even going to this one, instead bringing a handful of friends down for Stanford. I don't mind going to a PSU/Southern Utah whatever game for a season opener because we can get a bunch of cheap tix for our friends and have a fun day with a group in Eugene, but I don't think it's too much to ask to see a P-5 team every year.UOducksTK1 wrote:Gotta be honest, these 3 weak home games to start the season is really lame.

I know everyone knows this, but just to say it again.... This schedule was all Texas A&Ms fault and BG was a quality MAC team a couple years agoUOducksTK1 wrote:Gotta be honest, these 3 weak home games to start the season is really lame. Hopefully we don't have to do something like this again.
I agree with your first sentence. But, if the Ducks are in contention for the playoffs the "cupcake games" will definitely be talked about, and it won't matter that it wasn't Oregon's fault; or the cupcake games were the only games Oregon was good enough to win.Quietduck wrote:Just a note: The schedule has nothing to do with how good we may be it just delays how long before we know. We could be Pac 12 champ level or Basement level. Do you think anyone will be talking about our cupcake games if we go to the play off and win, or even if we lose every other game?
I also don't really agree with the first sentence, honestly. We haven't been tested yet, and I'm a believer in competition's ability to spur improvement. No, it's not an insurmountable setback, but I do consider it a missed opportunity.Merganzer wrote:I agree with your first sentence.
