So true. Cant believe we would be be in this position without him.dthomas=ddixon wrote: Sat Sep 26, 2026 6:06 pm Raiola is just so composed. Seems to always go through his reads, extends the play, climbs the pocket, etc.

Dumb, let Raiola roll out and pass or run.
Take the 3 and the lead into the half.

How great would it be to help force SC to fire Riley with a backup QB on their turf?

Bummed to settle for a field goal, but kinda happy Lanning did the smart thing there after the OK St game.

The OLine is super unreliable.

Agree. We get a TD out of the half and they are down 2 scores. Was the smart call.Phalanx wrote: Sat Sep 26, 2026 6:13 pm Bummed to settle for a field goal, but kinda happy Lanning did the smart thing there after the OK St game.
I did not like running it up the middle over and over. Our O line is not that great this year.

Didn’t love the playcalls there… OL is weak at the G spots so inside runs are not our strength.

I so badly want to see Lanning to give Riley an expletive filled earful in the postgame handshake.

They got the ball with almost five and a half minutes left and ate up the whole time and got points. Pretty positive outcome, and getting the ball to start the second half with all kinds of momentum. I'll take it.

Is anyone watching the halftime show…Simms actually blamed Dante for the hit, said he should have slid earlier.

By the way, shout out to the coaches for having a guy like Raiola waiting in the wings. I can't remember the last time the Ducks could absorb an injury to the starting QB and keep the train rolling on the road vs USC. Reminds me of Graziani back in the day. Hopefully the same ultimate result.

Whatever “it” is? Raiola has “it”. What I’m bummed about is that Dante was finding his footing. Usually when he has a big scramble he settles down. Nice to have a kid with 22 starts at a high level in a backup role.

Agree. I think he will be our starting QB for most of the season if not all that is left. Glad we have him.Phalanx wrote: Sat Sep 26, 2026 6:23 pm By the way, shout out to the coaches for having a guy like Raiola waiting in the wings.

Yeah that halftime show was terrible. Simms essentially blaming Moore not sliding earlier.OfaFeather wrote: Sat Sep 26, 2026 6:23 pm Is anyone watching the halftime show…Simms actually blamed Dante for the hit, said he should have slid earlier.

He only has to wish him his best regards at his next school. SC will tarmac him if he loses this game, especially to a backup QB.bdkipe wrote: Sat Sep 26, 2026 6:18 pm I so badly want to see Lanning to give Riley an expletive filled earful in the postgame handshake.
