Quack Fix: College Gameday Notes, Anthony Gildon, Power Rankings, and the DE Drinking Game

PrintName's Smalls. Leonard Smalls. My friends call me Lenny... only I ain't got no friends.
- Most everyone knows that ESPN College Gameday is coming to Eugene this Saturday to broadcast from the Memorial Quad on campus. A member of ATQ Nation got interviewed about the sign making process, even if they did spell his name wrong in the story. For those that are planning on going to the event, make sure to follow the rules about signs and general behavior. Personal note: I actually met ATQ Nation member AllSaintsDay at a Gameday event when he brought in an "I Declare You Sanchez!" sign. Always love to see ATQ memes on there but remember, no URLs or advertisements or they'll take the sign away.
- I remember being frustrated at times with Anthony Gildon's play in previous years. This year, I have to say that I've been really impressed at how he's step up on defense and taken more of a leadership role in locking feces down. Lots of good information about Gildon here in this article, including a quote from Chip Kelly about Gildon taking over the role that Talmadge Jackson held.
- Middle of the week and Autzen Zoo has some Power Rankings for us to consider. I still think Stanford looks the most impressive out of anyone in the conference. Looking at their schedule, I'm struggling to find a loss on it given the way they've been playing. Their biggest test between now and Oregon is maybe USC? Washington? They also avoid Arizona State altogether.
- Normally don't like to link to Bleacher Report but one of their contributors list out the Top 9 Ducks in the NFL. St. Louis Rams backup quarterback AJ Feeley makes the list at number 5 which seems a bit high considering who else is on the list but perhaps someone has a good argument? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
- We have a midwest preview for the big football contest on Saturday where the Ducks are picked to win 34-24 over the Sun Devils. I think the offensive line holds the key to Oregon's chances. Can they give Darron Thomas enough time to eat grilled cheese sandwiches? Will holes open up for the running back stable? I think Kenyon Barner is one guy that needs to show up big time. He's been somewhat invisible since his injury last year against Washington State and this could be his opportunity to showcase his talents again on a big stage.
- In one of my favorite posts of the early college football season, we head over to the great Utah SB Nation blog Block U for the "Dennis Erickson Drinking Game".
I'm sure I forgot some things. Drop the quack in the comments below. Go Ducks!

Very good stuff Benz, as a comparative youngster it is great to read more about Duck's history
it really adds a dimension to being a fan to understand the past.
I care less and less about pro sports over the years as I move around the country Pro sports feel more like cheering for laundry. It is great to have that history of the program and the state that I still consider home
See, look at this things I learn by reading these
Oregon once had a basketball coach names Dick Harter. I highly recommend reading the article about him, it is filled with juvenile gems and plenty of bonerz joke material

The issue is that I've already purchased spray paint.
I agree, an ATQ play-card would be quite funny. However, I don’t feel like paying more for printing, so either give me a better one-liner than “WE MISS YOU PFLUGRAD (Not you Aaron).” or send me money for printing.

Other option, if someone has the time, and photoshop
MAKE an ATQ playcard that can be blown up to 24×36 proportions, then I can divide it by 4 and print it out.

Defending my stance
1. Is there any question, really?
2. Think he’s the best, NFL type back to come out of Oregon. Plays on a woefully bad team or he’d be a lot better.
3. Kid is just tearing it up, starting on a talented team and showing he belongs.
4. Does any safety hit harder? He’s my enforcer.
5. Very talented, would shine if he had competent LB play in front of him.
6. I think Ed Dickson just scored another TD. (trending up.)
7. He’s carved out a spot, thru injuries and hard work he’s shown he’s a good solid Center.
8. Snyder is the most decorated O-Linemen to come out of Oregon and he did Work in the TB SF game on Sunday.
9. Thurmond has been making plays lately and doing well.
10. BUT HE’S BENCHED! I know, I know. I think his upside is huge. Throwing a rookie into that kind of responsibility rarely turns out well, and it’s not like he’s got much help out there. Give this kid a year to learn the system and I think he can be an impact player. Maybe not a clay but it all depends on his work ethic and how badly he wants to be the best. He doesn’t need to be a Clay to be great.

Like others have said Byrd should be on there but I’ll comment on Casey since I’ve seen every snap of his. The guy’s upside isn’t huge, I know he was put in a bad situation but he won’t be starting anytime in the near future with the way our 6th rounder Brian Rolle has played.
My thoughts on Casey
He just looked lost out there, it was information overload. He had moments where he showed he could be very good. I think that the mental side of the game overwhelmed him. Give him a year to process the information and I think he’ll do well.
Quack Quack Bitches!
by Quack Addict on Oct 13, 2011 12:25 PM PDT up reply actions
Sorry I can’t use that as an excuse when there is a rookie that plays the same position that was taken after him that has looked way better then Casey. I’ve watched every single Philadelphia Eagles snap this year they are my team, he didn’t show at all he could be very good. I get that he was a Duck, I loved him as a Duck but don’t let that get in your way of judging him on the pro level
Not to belabor the point...
But I’d have Byrd in the top 5. He’s definitely behind Ngata, but that’s the only person on that list he should definitely be behind. He’s had the biggest impact of any D-Boy.
I'm Ngata sure who you mean by Nagata?

I will now refer all Harris questions to this post. I agree with him 100%. Harris, from my limited exposure and complete speculation, is inconsistent. I trust Chip and really think he is taking the best course of action for this team.
"Last time I checked, there is no ‘Hall of Average.’ " Chip Kelly
Here is an interesting post fron the Register Guard.
The author basically states that a fair number of Oregon fans have been getting a bit lame at Autzen. I completely agree. The student section takes forever to fill up, and one third of the kids in there are total pansies. Even then, we are nowhere near as annoying as the growing number of fans that leave at halftime and dont even bother coming back until halfway through the third quarter.
We need the phonies to step up their game this weekend! If we aren’t loud as all hell, there is a good chance that we will lose. Maybe a loss at home will get some of these people out of their damn tailgate and back into the stands when the game starts!

This is totally true, I am sorry to say.
It’s not the same as it was 2009 and I absolutely think it’s because we haven’t lost at home in 3 yrs.
Last Thursday I wasn’t even mildly concerned at halftime about possibility of losing (although, I am ALWAYS in my seat for the start of the 3rd). I just don’t think anyone is screaming as loud as they were 2 yrs ago. It used to literally hurt my head when the noise was raining down. Not so much lately.

Don’t bitch at someone standing up in front of you and blocking your view, on the contrary if someone is sitting quietly in front of you, BOOOOOO them until they get up and act like a maniac.

THANK YOU BILL!!
I went to the Cal game (only game I will attend outside of a possible bowl game….hard to make the trip from Boise to Eugene too often), and our seats were on the North side in the season ticket holders area.
Start of the 3rd quarter, while we are still losing, the guy behind me asked me to sit down. I was internally furious, but did it because I really didn’t want to get into an argument there. Most of that section was sitting…and only stood up again after we were up 14. It was seriously backwards.
I don't mean to impose...

I was on the same (north) side...
And was yelling “O” at every defensive down (I can’t stand it when fans think they’re dedicated when they only yell on third downs). Towards the end of the game the lady next to me said “I’m surprised you are going to have a voice tomorrow!” and “You can really make a lot of noise!” Now, I choose to take this as a compliment, however it was obvious by her tone that she meant it as backhanded compliment.
For the sake of those who haven't heard this one before...
your scenario reminded me of my scenario, which has since become a bit of a meme here on ATQ. I preface this by saying it’s 100% true and, despite having happened a couple of years ago, still makes me giggle thinking about it.
I was at a game a few years back, I think either UCLA 2008 or Purdue 2009, and we were on defense and needed a stop. Of course, like you, we were all yelling “O” at every defensive down. An older gentleman a row behind me says, no bullshit, “why is everyone yelling ‘O’ when we are on D?” and proceeds to scream “DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE” on every defensive down for the entire remainder of the game. Let me tell you, it’s not easy to yell “OOOOOOOOO” at the top of your lungs when you are trying not to laugh at some idiot behind you yelling “DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE” on every down.

gone all UT Pimp on his ass (a true classic for anyone thinking “WTF is UT Pimp” right now). The only time I can even remotely back someone up when they ask someone not to stand is when people stand on the bench/chair. If someone asks you to sit down just politely decline. If you tell them to F off or get into it with them, you are most likely getting the eject button, because anyone who will tell you to sit down at a game in Autzen stadium is surely the type to go rat you out.

Personally I don’t think the after halftime problem is any different now than it was before…there have always been a considerable amount of losers that won’t get back to their seats.

That makes me sad. I remember being in the student section at Autzen and you could count on one hand at any point (other than at halftime) the people who were sitting down. Or who weren’t yelling “OOOOOOOOOOO” on defense. And that was during a pretty impressive home winning streak itself.
Ugh, that brings back memories of Stanford in ‘01, when people were just shuffling like zombies out of the stadium, wondering what had just happened. Of course, that game was followed shortly after by the Civil War, which was the loudest and craziest I ever heard anyone. So it’s possible that a loss would fire people up. I’d still rather not lose, though.

I think Michigan 2003 was the loudest and most consistently loud I ever heard Autzen.
They were ranked #4 I think and of course a historical heavy weight, we were definitely an underdog, and I think the crowd as a whole was just really trying to put an extra level into it. My memory is literally that there wasn’t one quiet second in the entire four quarters of play, everyone making noise on every play and between plays.

Strangely
The loudest I’ve ever heard Autzen was when it was 60% full after Paysinger scored the last touchdown against Oklahoma. It might have gotten louder after the blocked field goal, but honestly, I could have gotten shot and not noticed because of the insane euphoria everywhere.
I'm ashamed to say
I let a friend convince me we lost that game and leave the stadium after that last Oklahoma FG. But the loudest I ever heard Autzen was when I was across the street heading towards Duck’s Village when we recovered that onside kick. It was like a bomb went off, everyone started running in different directions, some for the Cooler, others for their apartments, anywhere they could find a TV. People were screaming at each other “WHATHAPPENED?!!” I wound up in some random person’s apartment when the official completed the review and awarded us the ball. Two thirds full, I’m positive that was the loudest single moment at Autzen.
And I missed it live. I’ll never live that down.

My dad tried to get me to leave, but I said, no I wanted to stay to the bitter end. He respected that and it turned out to be the best decision in the world. The onside kick was right in front of me. I could have sworn, along with 50,000 other people there that they touched it first. Replay has shown otherwise but at the time that was the most euphoric and to this date my favorite moment in Autzen ever. It even beats out watching Wheaton intercept the ball litterally right in front of me. Though not by much.

Does the new ticket distribution system maybe have something to do with this?

it’s the same amount of tickets, but I got there 30 minutes before kickoff Thursday and was 30 rows off the field on the 20 yard line.

Yes it absolutely does.
The new system makes it just as easy for the casual/disinterested student fan to get tickets as the die-hard who is going to yell his brains out. Therefore, you end up with a bunch of pansies with tickets. When you have to stand in line to get tickets, the “pansies” don’t end up at the game.
by Cliff Harrising on Oct 13, 2011 3:16 PM PDT up reply actions
I would agree with this. Even though there were quite a few times during my schooling there that you could just walk up to the window and grab a ticket. But if you’re a casual fan, and you see a line, it’s probably not worth it. But if you’re a casual fan and all you have to do is minimize your porn for a minute to click something on the internet, that’s a different story.
Then there were the games where we literally had to camp out.

I completely agree with camping out and couldnt have said it better myself about the disinterested students. On a side note about the student section taking awhile to fill up last week; I think the thursday game delayed a lot of students from getting their early. I was there about 30 minutes before too but thats because my friends had class until 5
I think so.
In the past, when students would have to camp to get a ticket, there was an inherent built-in insurance that the students that got the tickets were the most dedicated.
Now, with the new online crapshoot system, it comes down to your luck hitting the refresh button at a good time. So now many of the students juts go to the games to update their facebook statuses and have an excuse to dress up “school-spirity”, yet have little interest in the actual game. Many dedicated students get screwed every week at the expense of people that are only marginally interested in the actual game.
tl:dr, absolutely the new system is responsible for this.
It makes sense that Brock Osweiler attends ASU. His tattoo states "live life to it's fullest". The error is subtle, yet it is embarrassing regardless.
Also,
This has forced plenty of students (such as myself) to drop around two-hundred dollars on the student season tickets. This is an expense that would be completely unnecessary without the current e-ticket setup.

I will always PANIC for USC games
USC is always going to recruit the best and field the best talent. But USC is not doing anything so far this game that we didn’t do to Cal for the entire second half. The way we played Cal last week is very similar to how we played a lot of teams last year. And we have USC at home and late enough that LMJ will definitely be back.
The only thing I see USC doing to Cal that we didn’t do – they capitalized on Maynard to make 2 INTs and they have held Sofele which we didn’t do. But DT doesn’t throw many INTs, and only the strongest of Ds will stop our run game and I don’t see this team doing it. USC beat Minnesota 19-17!

Huh… interesting analysis they got there.
And the few that aren't, and acknowledge what he's done,
have already ruled him out because of the injury.
It’s all about the spotlight.
He maybe gained an inch of traction from Thursday night. Not much. He lost just about everything after having relatively bad showings against Auburn (Bowl games are really the first game of the Heisman season for returning players) and LSU.
The Heisman isn’t even JUST about the best player on the best team. It’s about the best player, on the best team, with the best coverage.
Really, his chances to shine are against Stanford, maybe USC, and perhaps the Conference Championship Game.

Just he’s in the running. You’re also looking past his 720 rushing yards (which is about 130 yards short of LMJ the leading rusher in FBS) and 8 rushing TDs (same as LMJ.) Denard is an exciting player. By stats alone he probably should have beaten Cam Newton last year but he was penalized by Michigan’s awful defense costing them the entire season. And he was the only offense on that team and took too many hits. It’ll shake itself out.

So did anyone notice Farmers redshirt was burned on a tackle for loss.
This brings up a good point. Should we have burned Carson’s redshirt so fast? Hindsight sais yes, but I wasn’t sold on it before the current situation. Does he get carries saturday or do we go with more DAT? I would rather see DAT out wide, but only of Huff brings it back
"Last time I checked, there is no ‘Hall of Average.’ " Chip Kelly
We go with Tra as the #2
Why take DAT out of a position he’s excelling in, when Tra has shown to be a capable #2. Now if Tra starts to struggle and can’t pick up the yards he’s shown he can get, then you might make adjustments and put DAT into the #2 spot, but we’re still just talking about a few carries. KJB got 10 against Cal and I’d suspect the combined number of DAT and Tra would be similar to that.
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen
The Daily Faberian
Are we sure Carson is a capable no. 2 already? I'm excited for the potential he has to be a strong, downhill bruiser back, but he might not be there yet.
Things like that.
Not at all. It's not a matter of capable or not capable, but a matter of necessity.
What choice do we have? Move DAT from one of our best receiver positions so the D can stack the box and shut him down or keep them spread out and put in a bigger more powerful runner at #2. Obviously, the distribution is going to change, but I hate rotating DAT out of the slot with KJB or Tra in the backfield requiring the D to pick their poison.

To put play makers in positions to get the ball. Huff DAT and Barner will get their touches. If Chip believes that Tra can go do work and have a positive impact on the game he’ll get his touches. Chip isn’t afraid to burn a redshirt if he thinks that it will help him win. He won’t put a player in a position to fail, and he won’t burn a redshirt if he thinks it would hurt the player or the team.
Tra has shown Chip that hes capable and a positive addition to this team. So I think that he is “there” and that any worrying by us is completely unnecessary.

LaMichael James
Kenjon Barner
DeAnthony Thomas
Tra Carson
Ayele Forde
Anthony Blake
Antwan Baker.
Those are the RBs on the roster. The fact that Tra burned his redshirt in Game 1 is a pretty clear signal that the coaches believe he’s a better option right now than the guys below him.
For sure.
This is definitely going to be a huge opportunity for him. I hope he is the kind of person who excels in these type of scenarios and makes a statement. But, he is a freshman so I will keep my expectations reasonable.
"Last time I checked, there is no ‘Hall of Average.’ " Chip Kelly
If he had to be the number 1 back
I would be concerned. But he’s shown he can run against first string Defenses well enough to be a good second and as a change of pace back, he may have success if only because he’s not what they are used to facing when KJB is in.

What is "big time carries" to you
Barner got 10 in a blow out. I’d expect that to be the top end of Tra’s carries, and that doesn’t seem big time to me.
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen
The Daily Faberian
I consider any carries that would have otherwise been going to LaMichael James or DeAnthony Thomas in a close game as big time ones.
Things like that.
De'Anthony Thomas has four carries in the last two games.
Addicted to Quack, #1 Oregon blog among female Duck fans, including the ageless and ever-radiant daisyduck.
Sure, and what's your point about it?
Now that LaMichael’s gone for a bit, he’s supposedly going to be the primary guy spelling Kenjon. Do we not expect him to get any significant, close-game carries being the number two back for this game? And perhaps beyond? He got important carries against LSU until he started shedding the ball every play, and he lined up as a back multiple times against Arizona, getting a few carries there. This isn’t including the piss-ant games in between where he got a buttload of carries spelling LaMichael and ran for a bunch of yards because those were, of course, awful defenses.
My point is that the coaches obviously trust him to be carrying the ball as a halfback in a game that is in question, as he’s done that for us this year in more than just clock killing situations. Tra Carson hasn’t been afforded that same confidence yet, and I’ll admit that I haven’t seen anything in his running that makes him stand out much beyond a garbage time back right now. He’s clearly not as fast as the three guys in front of him, but that was never supposed to be his thing — it was his power running game, right? Well, he looks big, but he doesn’t seem to run low enough yet to really push people back. He looks like he probably has great tackle breaking ability but his footwork seems to preclude him from doing much in terms of yards after contact.
A limited sample size, obviously. But I am not so sure Tra Carson is ready yet to be trusted to do big things in big situations. He looks like he needs to develop his style as being the power back, because he’s not going to compete with our other backs in terms of speed. I would love to have another Blount-type back, which we haven’t had in a few years now. Tra Carson doesn’t seem to have embraced that role yet, though.
I’m curious to see what kind of playing time he will get Saturday, and if he will be as effective as we hope. I would love for him to bust out and be a really awesome change of pace back. Hopefully Gary Campbell has been doing a lot of work with him recently and trying to get him to run under his pads a little more.
Things like that.
I guess I have less expectations than you do
I’m not expecting him to rip off 20, 30 or 40 yard runs. I’m expecting him to get 8-10 carries for 20-30 yards. He’s not going to be in there to be a major threat. He’s in there to keep the defense honest up the middle and spell KJB and give him a breather. When he is given the ball, get a couple of yards and get down.
I’ve never thought he would be competing for major playing minutes any time in the next 2 years. But if he’s going to:
develop his style as being the power back, because he’s not going to compete with our other backs in terms of speed.
then he needs to get into games where he can develop that.
