Agreed. I really like this team lately.pezsez1 wrote:I'm super confident in this game. Oregon is legit. I didn't think I'd be saying that before the start of the season (especially not after the Georgia debacle) but this team is special. Sneaky good. Maybe even good enough to win a playoff game.
I think we run the table and win the Pac-12 title. Our schedule shapes up so nicely from here on out.

Chip is an offensive genius. Always has been. He's got 3 playmakers on offense that will play on Sundays. If we can pressure their QB and keep their running game in check, those are the keys to me. Before the season I picked UCLA as conference champions. CK has got the players he wants and has them playing so well.
That said, I like our defensive line and linebackers. That's our key for a win.
The game is a tossup.

Who? Zach C and what two? DTR is a poor man’s Geno Smith.

Respectfully, DTR is playing way better than Geno ever did, Charbonnet is above average, but they really need to emphasize covering Bobo. QB pressure (without letting DTR get out of the pocket), along with linebacker play are going to be important. Unfortunately, with Chip, I think this is going to be about who can score the most points. The run game with Irving and Whitty should have a huge day in the rain, if not, it could be trouble. Agree with the toss up analysis. Still hope for the win, but only first year for Lanning, don’t expect they are gonna win all the tough games. I would be glad for these kids if they could make a decent bowl game.buckmarkduck wrote:thatbpguy wrote:Chip is an offensive genius. Always has been.

Quality crowd for a 6am start, especially relative to a few other GameDay sites this year that were all largely empty until the very end.

If anyone that was there at 6am for GameDay reads this, thank you. You are legends and the program owes you a debt of gratitude for helping represent the university in a positive way.

Out side of UW, Bobo hasn’t been much better than a regular WR. His skill set is perfect for Bridges to cover him. He isn’t going to our athlete either Bridges or Gonzo.OfaFeather wrote:Respectfully, DTR is playing way better than Geno ever did, Charbonnet is above average, but they really need to emphasize covering Bobo.

Geno had back to back years of 4200 yards and hit over 70% as a SR. His worst season was better than anything DTR has done in 5 years as a starter. DTR has also not played a road game vs a packed stadium since 2019. He has basically been mediocre on the road, in quit non hostile stadiums.

Sabrina did great, that Corso moment was sweet, and the crowd was awesome. Great Gameday.

Agreed. I think that DTR drops out of the Heisman discussion after this game and Bo re-enters.

Literally not one mention of Irving during game day. The only talking head I heard talk up Bucky all this week came from someone I wouldn’t expect it from. Petros said he loves Irving, and it was on KJR lol. Those idiots didn’t even know we had a RB as good as Irving, and he basically said Irving is as good as anyone in the conference, but doesn’t get all the carries per game. Said he loves his vision, and the way he runs the ball. Called him a future NFL guy.

I hope Sewel and especially Flowe show up to their hype today. If they both have the game they are capable of it will go a long way towards a close game or a comfortable game for the Duckies...

I think it was Desmond, maybe Kirk who talked about Irving and even showed a clip against BYU of him getting inside the 5 on a big cut-back. His quick feet and acceleration are certainly traits that translate next-level for a college RB. Next question is how much of the "vision" is a result of the offense and OL. Certainly love seeing him in the Green and Yellow (and pink and midnight and ethereal green...)buckmarkduck wrote:Literally not one mention of Irving during game day.
