I'm still giddy from the weekend victory, and was fortunate enough to be at Autzen for the first time since Oklahoma 2006. For all the talk the last few weeks about the crowd at Autzen, they made up for it an more, as Autzen was again deafening on every play. The crowd smelled blood early, and they never let up on the Bears. On to the quack, and make sure to check out Dave's reaction to the Cal game, as well as the links after the jump.
- Well, still no update on Thurmond. There have been rumors of a sprain, or an MCL or PCL tear. We'll have more info posted as soon as it's available.
- I don't often take a look at the polls, but when I do, it simply reminds me that there is only one poll that's worth anything. The coaches have once again proven that they are a total joke, ranking Oregon 25th and Cal 19th, along with a number of rankings that are indefensible. But let's give some credit to the AP, who have actually taken into account what's happened on the field. I enjoy Chip Kelly's attitude on the subject, and his refusal to take part in the coaches poll.
- Ted Miller has Oregon #1 in this week's Pac-10 Power Poll, and despite the early struggles, I think this is about the only team that can go at #1. Cal was absolutely killed, USC lost to a now-exposed UW team, and couldn't break 30 against WSU. Oregon State lost at home to Arizona. Stanford and Arizona still have a lot to prove. The Pac-10 is more open than I've seen it in a long time, and Oregon has a one game head start on the rest of the preseason contenders.
- Avinash from Cal Golden Blogs is devoting as much time to analyzing the Bear's defeat as he did to previewing the game, and he says the whole game down to line play. Jahvid Best has never looked very good when he doesn't have decent holes, and the Oregon front 7 simply dominated the Cal O-line, and though Best turned some losses into gains, he just never had any room to work.
- In recruiting news, Oregon had 4-star O-lineman Nick Rowland visiting, and he loved his visit. He was impressed by every aspect of the school. Nick is one of our top O-line targets, so picking him up would be huge.
- Lastly, in TV News, the Oct. 10th game against UCLA has been moved to the 12:30 time slot.
As always, leave your thoughts and links below. GO DUCKS

It’s true. I did a little research just to see how teams did who were ranked this low this early. And it comes down to: Win and you get moved up. It’s that simple. The jockeying for BCS position won’t even come into play if the Ducks can just keep winning.

It matters if you like watching the Ducks on TV
I have to think the honchos at ABC take rankings into account when they are deciding which games to show each week. #15 Oregon is likely to get higher ratings than #32 Oregon.

The only explanation I can think of for the coaches
Is that they are still punishing us for the Blount thing, which is nonsense.
I don’t know that I’ve EVER seen a poll spread that large in either football or basketball. Nine spots is a huge difference.
I’m not saying we should be top 10 mind you but #16 as the AP has it, sounds about right.

Look at the Gameday Final
And Lou Holtz’s comments:
There are only three teams in the country that are consistent: Florida, Texas and Alabama. The rest of the teams are very inconsistent. Florida State is the perfect example of that. The Seminoles looked great against BYU and terrible against South Florida. However, those inconsistencies provide for exciting football games because you never know what’s going to happen from week to week.
That’s because NONE OF them have played anyone Lou. If those teams played Oregon’s schedule do you think they’d all be 4-0, probably not.

if the top three teams played the same Boise st. Oregon played, then yes they would all still not have losses, but hypothetically if they played them, then the season would be completely different, because Oregon would have had a cupcake team, gained some confidence early and hypothetically gotten off to a cleaner start. Hypothetically. No I don’t do hypothetici (my plural of hypotheticals) because they aren’t real

I hate to take Lou Holtz’s side in anything, since he’s generally wrong, but this may be the proverbial blind squirrel finding the mythical nut. He’s right (although I think he should include Boise St. in that list of consistent teams).
Oregon has NOT been consistent. Yes, they’ve played a tough schedule, but you can’t call their play consistent.
Of course, this assumes that Dr. Lou has actually WATCHED any of Oregon’s games except for the debacle at BSU, which is probably too much credit to give.

I watched that game off and on after Tuel came in. He looked okay, but man did USC look uninspired. Their defense was slow and sluggish. None of them looked like they cared.
I could see Tuel growing into a solid QB, but he certainly didn’t look like anything special. That vaunted USC defense didn’t do much punishing. And the speed of the Ducks will be a completely different look. Also, the Coliseum sounded like an empty church compared to Autzen. I’m not too worried, but in absense of anyone else to jinx, you might as well go with Tuel.

Disinterested. That’s how I would describe USC’s effort, especially in the second half. I don’t know what to make of the Trojans. Are they having a crisis of confidence after failing to pound the crap out of tOSU and then losing to UW? We’ll learn a lot this weekend when they go to Cal.

About our DBs playing well...
They did, for the most part. At times they were simply amazing. They also caught a couple breaks.
Lasts night’s game replay showed at least three instances where Cal’s primary receiver got well behind a defender on a deep route. A combination of pocket pressure on Riley, inaccuracy by Riley or a receiver failing to adjust and make a catch kept any of those instances from biting the Ducks.
Let’s not gloss over the need for improvement week to week. I’m not really concerned about the corners playing perfectly, because Oregon has the offense to overcome a couple big plays. Just the same, there’s plenty of work to be done. Cal had several opportunities to change the nature of Saturday’s game and continually missed guys who were wide open.
The DBs played well. With continued game experience, we can probably expect them to play even better when they face the likes of Stanford, USC and such.

There were a few instances where they had got a step.
But it’s not a huge concern for me. There aren’t a lot of quarterbacks we’re left to face that can consistently hit the long ball with enough touch that it would not give our DBs time to catch up. Also, for the most part I thought the CBs played tight enough that Cal’s receivers couldn’t make the necessary adjustments.
If WT3 and TJ are ready to go, put them in. But I saw DBs playing with tenacity on Saturday eased any worries.

For those looking for an online replay:
The entire game is archived on ESPN 360.
The “condensed” game is posted on O-Zone. (I really love this new O-Zone feature. They edit the game down to about 75 minutes long. No timeouts, no commercials, no huddles — just the plays, snap-to-whistle and occasional replay of the big plays.)

Don't forget to check out the podcast!!
Lord Beverage and Muchas G talk about the big win over Cal and the coming together of Ducks play on both sides of the ball. With the Ducks back in a major way, the pair look forward to putting a hurting on Washington State, dish out a couple Duck You’s, and take a quick look around the pack 10.

It's time for some committments...
if that game doesn’t convince you to come to a school, I just don’t know what would. Gabe King has to be seriously reconsidering right now.
No let down against WAZZU. I am not worried about the win but doing it in convincing fashion.

If he does commit, I bet it's all due to Frost.
If Scott Frost was at my door telling me to come hang out with him 3 months of the year, I’d jump on that. Well, maybe I’d tell him he’d have to take me to dinner first.

UCLA
Anybody concerned with this game out in the Rose Bowl? This is going to be one of the biggest games for the Ducks this season, with USC coming into Autzen the following week. I hope that the Ducks don’t look ahead at USC before tackling this Bruin team. Weasel may have quite a competitive group this season.

My bad, didn’t look again at the schedule but I see it now. That U-Dub game is not going to be a cake walk either. I have the same concerns about playing them on the road, as I do UCLA (even though it appears that UCLA is more competitive than U-Dub). I wish WTIII will be back soon.

Last time it was about 25-30% Oregon fans, even if its only 20% this time that’s still pretty good.

heck ya, most definitely concerned with ucla and stanford away, as well as every pac-10 game
i like our chances in every game when masoli is solid. so as of sat, i like his chances of remaining solid, but there’s no guarantee in that at all.
i think the pac-10 is seriously up for grabs, maybe:
usc at top (though this is quite questionable based on performance so far…)
eight teams with a shot (before sat i would have included cal in the top group)
wsu
if i’m digging deep for reasons to move people up/down as of sat, i think maybe stanford, ucla, oregon, cal… maybe uw… have shown a little more promise than osu, arizona, and asu, but that is more than debateable. heck, usc has looked like a big question mark so far, i only put them at the top due to talent and past performance.
if cal could take care of usc next week, then we all start salivating… 9 team free for all.

I think USC drops at least another game. I can’t say that they were impressive playing Wazzu on Saturday night. I would’ve expected at least a 30 point beatdown.

Stanford will be the biggest test...not too concerned about FUCLA
Stanford has a beast of a runner in Gerhart. He chewed up and spit out the Huskies this weekend. He will definitely give our front 7 a test in bringing him down. He doesn’t cut too much he just runs straight at ya and runs ya over. Plus, with this being the week after USC, I expect our guys to be a little beat up.
FUCLA has nothing at QB, so we will be able to load up on the run with 8-9 in the box. They have a decent TE, but with our speed at LB, we should be able to stay with em.
UW should be a good game, I doubt that after their win to USC we will be over looking them, and we will have an extra week to get healthy with the bye in between.

D.J. Davis
Did anyone else think D.J, or Drew, or whatever he’s going by, looked way more yoked than last year? I thought I remembered him being considerably skinnier. Glad to see him out there, picking up where he left off. Let’s not forget that they made him the starter in place of J-Will for 1 game before his season was ended early with an injury.
Guy behind me at Autzen says "why do the fans yell 'OOOOOO' when we are on D?" He then proceeds to yell "DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" on every defensive play for the rest of the game. As Carlos Mencia would say, "Dee Dee Deeeee".

I hadn’t hear much about DJ this season. Did he start off the season with an injury? And what’s the verdict on Jamere Holland? Not as effective as they thought he’d be? I’m liking that Dickson, Paulson TE combination. If Masoli can get it to those guys consistently, it’ s going to be a long day for any defense.

He got the start over Holland this week...
So this was his first start of the season. He got the start because Kelly said holland did not practice well enough last week

He was injured all offseason.
I believe he was available for the first game, though he did not see the field I don’t think.

Definitely.
I talked to him on Facebook for about half an hour Sunday morning. He told me the knee felt better and that he had indeed put on a little muscle and thickened his build a little – I certainly noticed it as well, especially in the legs. Great to see my boy Drew getting out there and doing well.
