Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

I mean it’s Monday of game week.

It's a secret.... Probably the only time this has a potential benefit in Lannings potentially long tenure at Oregon.

Shoot, Harbaugh is still having tryouts at Meatchikn.

Kirby Smart today when asked about how they are preparing for the game since Oregon has not named a starting QB yet:

We know who is starting.


LOL

Both are starting. The center decides who's taking the snap

Both? I say have Nix, Thompson, and Butterfield all in the backfield.

On Oregon’s first possession, on first down have Butterfield out there, on second down Thompson, third down Nix, then after that just have the starting QB the rest of the game.

Lanning said previously "You'll know when we take the first snap".

It’s Nix, at least for this game

(No other info aside from it’s definitely Nix, c’mon)

I believe it to be Nix went to the spring game and he was calm.
Thompson looked like sometimes he was trying to hard.

I hope tho is if Nix doesn't move the team that Thompson gets his chance.
Mario would not budge no matter how bad it was.

Why have three QBs just the first snap? Hell, leave them out there all game. We'll beat the defending national champions by keeping info from them for all four quarters.

Well I cant tell you who the official starting QB is but gas is $4.29 a gallon at Clackamas Costco.

I forgot about Butterfield. They all line in the gun. Center picks who he wants to snap it to.

No, have the QB under center and all the QBs directly behind the RB.

SUPER PISTOL!!!!!

It's almost certainly going to be Nix.

Even if the competition between him and Thompson were a dead heat, you can't disregard 3 years of experience, including playing Georgia 3 times. Thompson would have to clearly be better and based on the spring game, that's hard to fathom.

I know that Nix lost all 3 of those games, but if I'm not mistaken, they only lost 21-14 the one year that Dillingham was the OC at Auburn and coached him.

As long as he can just settle down, go through his progressions and not get rattled, I think Nix will be fine. That said, if the Ducks can't establish the running game or protect him, it may be a long day.

The line play on both sides of the ball is crucial for Oregon. They have to at least hold their own. If Georgia starts to dominate the LOS on both sides of the ball we're in big trouble.

One more thing, not only did Auburn play Georgia tough (and beat Oregon) that year, they also beat Alabama 48-45, so Nix has won big games with Dillingham in the past.

Maybe, but if the QBs don't even know who's getting the ball, then the defense will be clueless
