Morning Quack Fix: Getting ready for the bye week

It's bye week. A great time for our 5-1 Ducks to rest up from the multiple bumps and bruises they've acquired. And a time for us fans to rest up for Hate Week. Here's your quack:

Best part of the bye week coming now

Two weeks of pure hate time aimed at Washington.

Who would have predicted that at the start of the year?

Very few I should think. Still, happy to see that every game so far this year (except WSU of course) is on at least regional ABC or national FSN.

I know I've loved it

Its not my first time living out of the regional area but it has been extremely nice being able to watch the Ducks on the east coast. When I was in the Army and lived abroad, there were actually quite a few games on AFN too. The ducks get good exposure, just not a lot of love.

About the only game I was able to watch was the annual Big 10 team we played. Otherwise it was Jerry Allen on online radio, good but not quite as good.

Hey guys, just checking in and seeing how you all were doing. It's been a while.

I’ve been somewhat frustrated with the Beavs of late, but now that they have stepped up, I feel like I can come over here for some good conversation without me getting upset.

I haven’t been able to watch the Ducks all year (save for Boise State and Washington State— not the best games to gauge the team). Was anyone concerned with the slow start against UCLA and the relative non-scoring of the offense in that game?

I know I’m going to get the cookie cutter responses:
“First time starting QB, on the road”
“UCLA has the 20th ranked defense”
“First game on the road in a month”…etc

Which, all are true. But given that Nate Costa has some experience, and has been in the system as long as any QB on the roster, and UCLA’s “20th ranked defense” were predicated on playing some not very good offenses, does it concern anyone at all?

I support Takimoto in his effort to support Roger Kieschnick in his quest to becoming the best Kieschnick ever to play professional baseball.

Was anyone concerned with the slow start against UCLA and the relative non-scoring of the offense in that game?

People were FA-REAK-ING out in the thread. I wasn’t worried. Our defense has been remarkable, and I knew they would keep us in it. The offense showed potential, but they stalled on 3rd downs. I figured by the end, they would have it ironed out. Though, they never really needed to iron it out.

I think Masoli is the clear starter. Costa is a good backup. He won’t be asked to step in to win a game. He’ll be a good game manager and will be asked to not lose it. He showed that he can do that.

Costa’s mobility looks great, and he made some good throws. His release was a tad slow and low in the game.

Costa’s mobility looks great

I think this could be a possible overstatement. I’d say his mobility looked “there” and “adequate”, but “great” is an exaggeration, in my humble opinion.

I really liked his mobility and throw to Paulson down the sideline. A great play that is easily forgotten, but keeps the drive going on 3rd down.

Great considering three fuckin’ surgeries. He has good straight line speed, and he was able to shift around and take a hit on the knee against UCLA.

As Shufelt said, while people were freaking out in the thread, I was not concerned. UCLA hadn’t shown anything that struck any fear into me, on either offense or defense. Our offense had a few opportunities, but just got into a couple holes that was hard to overcome. Just because of how the first half played out, I was not worried at all.

A note about UCLA, their defensive front is very good, and Price’s ability to break through and disrupt an offense is remarkable.

I was gonna add that Price is by far the best DT we’ll face all year. The dude has been an animal up the middle, but that prompted me to think of Paea, so, WTF happened to him?

I knew this was going to come up at some point…

He is still disrupting, but without the Ends putting pressure on the QB, he gets double teamed every time.

It’s one of those things where he is drawing so much attention that you would hope the ends and other DTackle would get to the QB more, but they just haven’t. We saw the line getting after it some more in the last two games (albeit ASU’s OLine is bad), and so hopefully there is some improvement.

But until the Ends start disrupting themselves, you’re not going to hear Paea’s name mentioned very much

It’s Karma. I mean, he’s really immature. He’s one of those fans/alums that can’t say something good about his own team without including a backhanded comment about your team/school.
