Go Cougs

 

[random soul]

DUCK SEASON!

 

[dgibbons]

Troy Dye is out according to Jessamyn.

 

[SDCoug]

Herbert’s first down run exposes our LB issue

 

[dgibbons]

Yes!!!!

 

[random soul]

Ok, good start from the D

 

[Observer11]

I’m already sick of Griese gargling Herbert’s nutsack. One series in.

 

[dgibbons]

Suck it ducks!

 

[dgibbons]

Two holds in a row.

 

[dgibbons]

PSA: Aaron Feld is a douche nozzle.

 

[dgibbons]

Fisher with the drop.

Good, not great start. I like Gordon getting rid of the ball if there’s nothing there.

 

[random soul]

Dropped a TD. Damn

 

[CougPatrol]

1st and goal at the 3 and you don’t run Borghi. Holding, holding, and a drop.

Gotta run the ball there.

 

[Brent H.]

Should have had 7 there. Ryan is a liability.

 

[COCoug]

When it is 1st and goal on the 3, JUST RUN THE BALL

 

[cougarhawk1]

why not hand off to Borghi on 1st and goal at the four ? Gordon needs to check down in the red zone.

 

[SDCoug]

I’m bummed I have to watch this AT&T commercial over and over. Sigh.

 

[702coug]

That red zone series is what separates Minshew from Gordon.

 

[jarvis1981]

Two penalties were unfortunate but overall a nice first drive that killed some clock.
Half the 1st qrt gone and 3-0 Cougs.
Oregon will make some adjustments on this next series. Let's see if the defense can handle it.

 

[cougarhawk1]

That red zone series is what separates Minshew from Gordon.

agree, he gets too nervous-hangs on to the ball too long , they need to call runs and safe short passes to get him in a rhythm

 

[sellas]

That red zone series is what separates Minshew from Gordon.

He has to step up in the pocket. Spinning out leads to penalties and I am not sure he has ever made a play outside the pocket. Not his strong suit.

 

[dgibbons]

Great.

 

[dgibbons]

Hip on helmet.

 

[dgibbons]

Well, we had the lead for awhile.

 

[702coug]

Well...hey guys

 

[MRICoug]

There are 11 guys on O. And we love to rip on the guy leading the country in passing. Ok.

 

[random soul]

That inside zone to the left is everything. If that's all the better we can defend it, it's going to be a LONG night

 

[dgibbons]

Ok offense.

Keystone cops at safety.

 

[702coug]

Defenders following behind each other. Brilliant

 

[jarvis1981]

9-3 end of the first quarter.
Offense has a key third down here to keep the drive going.
The offense has to take the pressure off the defense. Nobody is expecting the ducks to be shut down this game.

 

[dgibbons]

Wtf!

 

[random soul]

That's exactly the kind of play that kills any shot you've got as an underdog. Yikes

 

[CougPatrol]

Aaaaand...

Good night, God bless.

 

[Brent H.]

Aaaaand...

Good night, God bless.

Ohh eff off.

 

[Cougatron]

Just catch the damn ball...

Ball hits you in the hands... catch it.

 

[random soul]

Aaaaand...

Good night, God bless.

I'm not going that far yet. If the run defense doesn't get any better (and the odds are probably against it), then you might be right.

 

[SaveFerris]

Two TD drops and one ends up a pick. Wow!

 

[random soul]

Two TD drops and one ends up a pick. Wow!

Yeah. All the wrong luck.

 

[Pinkcadillac]

We are pretty good between the twenties then we sort of get nervous

 

[702coug]

No words...
