That was the ace run of the day. Wow! Our RBs are strong.

Thompson and the backups are moving the ball nicely... Burn clock and keep the play book open!

[rockthief]

They did not back off this game and kept pushing hard. Good. I wonder about Wilcox' job security.

Lanning ended his comments with Jerry Allen's interview glowing about Ty Thompson doing exactly what he was supposed to and operating the offense to close out the game. Nice words, I hope Ty hears it, he deserves his praise.

The only team that can beat Oregon right now is Oregon. I'm convinced we can play with anybody.

There were times over the last 30 years when I thought we could catch lightning in a bottle and beat the big boys, but I think we are as good as anyone in the country right now, maybe better - including Georgia.

Great win, and so awesome seeing Tye Thompson come in and look flawless in the fourth quarter. That young man has grown a ton.

3 people in the last 10 comments have been able to spell his name correctly. It’s been 3 years.

Ty, Ty, Ty, Ty, Ty.

Dante looks like he'll be a good one and has a little of that YAC buckiness to him.

TT looks much better and poised. I hope he keeps that up in high-pressure close game situations in the future. Would like nothing more for him to be successful at Oregon, after sticking with one program and believing in the process. Glad he got almost an entire quarter of in game experience to build his chemistry with the players and improve his timing and accuracy with backs and receivers.

I think Wilcox, absent some scandal or the wheels completely (and I mean COMPLETELY) coming off, has to be one of the more secure P5 head coaches.

Cal just resigned him in 2022 to a six year $28.5 million dollar contract. Given Cal's athletic department reported in 2022 a current $440 million dollar debt (and the next seven years with a 30% ACC media share), I don't see how they can spend the $ to fire him.

Another fun game. It’s so refreshing as a duck fan to see the ducks overall not play that well and look really flat and STILL win 63-19, compare that to Mario’s Oregon teams and even the Huskies this year vs ASU and Stanford. Just shows the talent level at Oregon and I truly believe Oregon is heads and shoulders more talented than the rest of the conference.

While the ducks were frustrating at times the refs were way more frustrating. That was one of the worst officiated games I’ve ever seen. The line judges have no clue how to spot the ball, they need glasses or something. And the refs even make up rules, wtf was that personal foul on Jackson Powers-Johnson for “hitting someone while they’re on the ground” when the defender was getting up to make a play on the ball? Those refs were so awful, I cannot wait to be done with these incompetent refs forever.

A week or so ago, we were commenting on another team's offensive player landing (and staying on) a Duck defender.

Honestly, when I saw the JPJ playing thought he may have stumbled over the legs of the down player, rather than jumping on him.
He even seemed to cushion the impact by extending his arms to break the fall.

I don’t remember that play but that sounds like a hold not a personal foul, which I initially thought the flag might be on JPJ.
