Game Thread Ducks vs. Sooners (1 Viewer)

[Buffalo Custard]

Shame on the Ducks. Nothing else to say.

 

[MickZagger]

This defense is awful

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Brown misses wide open receivers downfield for easy TDs pretty much every game. Sometimes multiple times.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

All things considered, that was a good showing by the Ducks. They could have given up at half but they kept battling.

the Ducks were decimated on defense. They had some 3rd staring defenders playing. Like the announcers said, when Sewell got injured
(after Funa got injured) and left the game, Oregon had 1 scholarship LB left able to play. That showed up in all the missed tackles and bad gap coverage. The safeties and corners had to hedge to the LB zones tonight.

The Ducks just couldn't get stops. Any time you allow 8 consecutive scoring drives you'll lose the game

there was a reason why the Ducks moved a TE to DE, and an OLineman to the DLine. It was because they lacked healthy bodies

tonight he didn't. I still can't believe Franklin made no play on that pass to the end zone. The ball landed 2 feet away from him. Andre Ware was going nuts about that

I would’ve liked to of seen a series or two from Thompson.

I would've liked to see 2 from Thompson, Butterfield, and Ashford.

The coaches tonight had no interest in preparing the program for the future, for obvious reasons.

He missed him wide open. Over threw the ball on the wrong side of the receiver.

it was a 50 yard pass that hit the turf less than 3 feet from the receiver. That should have been at the very least a situation where the receiver got his hands on the ball. They actually need to adjust their routes a little sometimes. Franklin made no effort at all to get to the ball. I don't know if it was because he didn't see it; maybe. But good receivers need to come back to the ball and adjust their direction and orientation a lot of the time, especially on long passes. Andre Ware went off on Franklin for the lack of effort on that play with good reason (and Franklin made up for it some with a great TD catch later in the game)

I agree that Brown has not been a very accurate passer. He was low on 2 or 3 shorter passes last night and late on another. But his long balls were really well thrown last night

I thought Franklin also let up for a split second shortly before the ball arrived; as if he thought no way he is getting the ball this far or no way he is having time to get the ball this far.
