Apelu out for season

Post by OregonFan4Life »

I know there’s mixed opinions about him on this forum, but never good to see someone’s Oregon career ended by injury. You can’t debate that he has heart and always played his hardest. Appreciate all of his hard work for our football program.

He's a starter for a reason. Not bad for a Hawai'i running back who missed almost all of his last 2 years of high school ball due to injury.

Dude was flying around every time he was in and played his heart out. Nothing but respect and sad to see it end this way for him.

Yeah that's a bummer. He's been playing well, and never good to see a duck go down.

Poor guy, gotta love his story. He's a senior right? Really hope he can make the bowl at least.

It does sound like there's a small chance at him playing in a bowl game, provided he heals somewhat fast and the game is a bit later in December.

That wasn't the point. What bowl game do you think a 6-6 team is going to be invited to?

You think we're going to lose to Oregon State?

Oregon State's offense is statistically better than UCLA's. Point per game, yards per game, etc. The Beavers rank way ahead of them. The Ducks just gave up 500 yards to UCLA, despite the UCLA receivers dropping several passes. UCLA gained more yards against the Ducks than any team they have faced this season. If the Ducks don't get it together on the defensive side of the ball, the Beavers will have more offensive success in the Civil War than people are anticipating. Fortunately, the Beavers' defense is an absolute train wreck, but the Oregon offense isn't exactly firing on all cylinders either. The Ducks made a horrible Arizona defense look like the Steel Curtain. The Civil War looked like a certain victory about a month ago, but I wouldn't classify it as such now.

Oh, I see, you're just not that familiar with the bowl system. Last year there were 40 bowls. 3 6-win teams did not go to bowls, Buffalo, UTSA, and W. Michigan. This year there are 41 bowls. Oregon is unlikely to be one of the 6-6 teams to be left out, assuming they lose out. Hope that helps!
