Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Was watching some old vids on youtube and came across a couple of plays that were so perfect that I watched em numerous times

Anyone have any plays(Oregon) that made you say dang that was nice.

Howry’s punt return against Osewe
Harrington to Parker in Fiesta bowl
Statue of Liberty vs Michigan
Stewart’s run against Fresno

Those were a couple that came to my mind. I’m once again bored at work

2014- Tyner’s spin move through the Stanford secondary for a game-busting TD.

Stanford had cut Oregon’s lead to a single score late in the 3rd. Tyner’s TD put them up 31-16 and they went on to blow them out 45-16.

DATS rose bowl and fiesta bowl. LMJ vs Tennessee. Herberts run in Rose Bowl. LMJ long td vs Stanford.

Jeremiah Johnson 83 yard td run on 3rd and 19 in the 2008 Civil War. The stiff-arm to the face of the guy about to tackle him, the OSU banshee yelling NOOOOO!!, and the reach across the goal line right at the end make it such a perfect play.

It’s tough to pick one, but if I had to I’d say Cliff Harris’s pick six at Tennessee. I was at that game and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a stadium go so quiet. The entire stadium gave up any hope after that play.

That Jeremiah Johnson TD run in the Civil War was pretty damn cool. He was one of my favorite Ducks ever.

Even better though, I love Masoli's late-game run in the following year's War of the Roses when he trucked the defender with everything on the line. Just dominated the guy.

Jeff Maehl had a "that's nice" play in just about every game, standouts, USC and Auburn in the championship game, and Joe Walker's return of Utah's Kaelin Clay's dropped ball.

Akili Smith to Pat Johnson against UW. "The catch".

Blair Phillips blocked FG vs Oklahoma. The last 5 minutes of that game was like nothing else I've felt in Autzen.

Those two are exactly my two favorite plays ever!

The minute I saw the title of the post that is the first play that came to mind for me as well! It was just, yea, game over. I jumped up and down like an idiot during that play. Shame about Harris, I thought he would end up in the big show.

So many to choose from. The one that first popped into my head?

October 27, 2001 on a cold rainy night up in Pullman. #13 Oregon travels to undefeated #10 WSU (the week after the crushing late collapse 42-49 at Autzen against Stanford).

Oregon leads 17-10 with 6:10 to go with WSU closing the game late (they had scored, Oregon fumbled, and drove to the Oregon 40 before stalling and attempting to punt and pin Oregon deep). On 2nd down, Onterrio Smiths goes right then cuts up the middle for a 73 yard TD. He finishes with a then school record 285 yards. 230 in the second half (after Maurice Morris leaves with an injured hamstring and 138 yards himself).

Oregon holds off WSU 24-17 when Wes Mallard knocks away a Jason Gesser pass in the endzone on 4th and goal with 0:02 remaining. Oregon goes on to beat Colorado in the Fiesta Bowl 38-16 to finish #2 in the nation. What happens to that great season if Oregon drops back-to-back games? Morris (and Mallard) save the day (so really two memorable plays that night).

Maybe biased cuz I was at this game, but fun.

Ed Dickson at 8:10 mark. This whole game was clutch at the end, but that one was savage. I think part of the greatness here was the dolphin kicks from the Stoops bros + fans having to un-storm the field.

This was mine too!

I sometimes think about if Arizona went to the Rose Bowl that year instead of us when I watch the replay....



LMJ run vs. Stanford, the Pick, and Michael Clay fumble recovery against Wisconsin are others that stand out for me.
