Guess we don’t have to worry about the Tennessee hypotheticals and the CFP! Add in the Dye injury and looks like another season with no P12 team in the playoff.
 
I was talking hypotheticals with my dad yesterday (and he’s actually the reason I’m a Duck fan)

He was talking scenarios. I said don’t jinx it. He said you’re right they’ll probably lose to a team they shouldn’t.

And here we are.

And if I went to U of O my gripes would be more valid. Yadda yadda

Yep. I was saying last week or the week before that the Pac12 was doing a great job of not cannibalizing itself. That is no longer true.
 
My son said he heard Hudson mention in an interview that it sounded like Bo wouldn't be playing and TT would be the qb?

Some pro bettor was just on a morning show I listen to and he said from what he’s hearing Nix unlikely to go.

Take it for what it’s worth.

I've heard the opposite. That right now the Ducks are thinking Bo will get the start and test his ankle; and the the Ducks are creating uncertainty for Utah's benefit

but I know from experience that the first week after an ankle sprain can go either direction. If it's a high ankle sprain it's a much longer recovery too. Bo could be much worse tomorrow or Saturday morning than he was on Tuesday

if it's Ty Thompson, I don't think the Ducks have much of a chance, not with their defense
 
Bad defense and a hobbled Nix. Tough to see how this could have a good outcome for Oregon.
 
A holding penalty in the red zone saves the Ducks' defense....the offense responds with a 3-and-out. This is gonna be ugly.
 
Did anyone else notice that Utah's QB takes a step with his left foot before the ball is hiked on just about every play. Isn't that a false start?

offense is allowed one backfield player in motion before and during the snap. It would be illegal procedure if another Ute was moving at the same time Rising stepped back
 
Side note: The rest of the NCAA’s probably love PAC-12 officiating. PAC-12 officials have a long history of being some of the worst officials in the NCAA’s. They’ve often gone out of their way to make controversial calls to take out the top team(s). See it year-in, year-out, nobody who the top teams are.

Then, you watch Big Ten. Their officials are like, “How can we ensure Michigan wins so they can stay in the CFP picture? We want Big Ten reppin’!” That late PI to help Michigan was lame….
 
Ducks gutted out a win with a hobbled Nix and missing 3 starters on the OLine, including their C

Dillingham need to shitcan the trick plays. They have all been disasters the last 2 weeks

sure looked like, for the first time this season, Lanning was calling the shots on defense; or at least co-signing on a lot of the plays

after last weeks absolute defensive disaster, something needed to happen. Tosh Lupoi's seat may be getting a little hot

I think the judges are too busy looking at the line of scrimmage to look back at the qb in shotgun for that penalty since QB’s rarely have infractions. It’s usually the center.

Lupoi has always just been known as an amazing recruiter. Don’t really think his game time coaching acumen is any great.

So bring us some awesome recruits before you shit can him.

I don't believe either Lanning "call the shots (plays) on defense" or "Lupoi's seat may be getting a little hot." are true.

Utah doesn't have the speed to exploit Oregon's slower safeties and below-average pass coverage LB's.

the speed of receivers might have been a factor, but I know, from watching the game, that Oregon played more press coverage and near press coverage, and man-for-man in that game than they have all season. Again, maybe that was a game plan based upon Utah's WR's, but it still was a major change in defensive philosophy to implement this late in the season. Of course, disasters like the UW game can cause that

as for Lanning, yes, he sure appeared to take a lot more ownership of the defense. He had the defensive call sheets in his hands, and that was a first. And he was signalling in plays just about every time I saw him when the Ducks were on defense. Whether or not Tosh is in danger of being a 1-year DC I don't know

Tosh didn't last long as the play-caller at Bama (only a few games I think).
