Ducks 44, Sun Devils 21: Postgame thread

by Addicted to Quack on Nov 14, 2009 10:42 PM PST Comment 56 comments

Well, no questions about the Ducks rebounding from last week's disappointment. Oregon did just fine and, if not for Kenjon's fumble on the punt return, this game is never really close. Masoli and James were their stellar selves, and the defense was much improved from last week.

Stanford's win today means we have to win out. One down, two to go.

Talk about it in this thread.

I have to admit

I’m a little disappointed that we didn’t see any Blount Force Trauma

i liked seeing Alston go in instead

We stand glorious
And with Oden on our side
We are victorious

It’s my understanding that Chip was starting to work on getting Blount in the game, but he’s 5th on the depth chart. LMJ and Barner had their carries, Crenshaw got his. Alston got his. And then time expired. If ASU doesn’t run that draw play, and they go 3 and out. Blount would have carried the time off the clock.

What I think tonight taught us, we can get pressure on the QB, and Canfield will be a sitting duck.

I would be,

But we’ve got a BYE the week before AND homefield advantage…
And our offense has very favorable matchups with them.
I’m pretty confident, to tell the truth.

47-20, 42-3, 65-38...So many scores to choose from!

it wasn't so much a letup by the offense

as much as them not being able to get on the field in the third.

and I’m not sure it will be terribly close.

yeah

LMJ will play in the NFL, but likely won’t be a feature back. He’ll certainly stay all four.

And, even if not, he has a decent shot at breaking the record in three.

Great game.

You know it’s a good day when you can be disappointed with how a 44-21 win reflects your team’s performance.

On the minus side, I’m not sure how many more games from Oregon student sections I’m going to be able to tolerate. But, I’ll just try to keep on enjoying it, since I’m sure I’ll miss it when I’ve finished up here. :-)

The Ducks did well tonight. We’ve got a few hours to enjoy it, then it’s time to panic about Arizona!

Just got home from the game

I felt almost like CK dialed back any of the tricky stuff, especially in the second half, as if he didn’t want to tip his hand to Zona.

And the funniest scene ever was pregame when huge clumps of UO fans where gathered around the monitors by the concessions stands cheering on Cal. Chants of “Lets go Tedford” were picked up around the south concourse.

At his pre-halftime interview, Chip talked of “managing the game.” So, yeah, he definitely went into that mode, minus the one drive when ASU had just cut it to 10.

That no one got hurt. We’ve lost entirely too many QB’s and more to ASU over the years. (Musgrave and Dixon are the most notable of examples)

I was kind of watching the game tepidly because I was hoping we wouldn't have another key injury in a crappy, easy game.

That happened twice the past three years against WSU.

We lost Jeremiah Johnson for the remainder of the year at the blowout in ’07, and we lost Masoli for one game this year after his twisted knee against Wazzu.

Good game

But man, it was a relief to watch it later on tivo so I could fast fwd through the LGB references. That’s the only reason ESPN was there, it feels like. No interest in the game itself or Oregon or Arizona State.

Big Market Media (*&^^%.

It was a bit sloppy, they weren’t sharp, lacked intensity (or intentionally dialed it back) – but we were so much better that it wasn’t needed.

We’ll need to step it up for the next two.
