Rose Bowl Pre Game and Early Bowl Games Open Thread

Email
PrintWe are mere hours away from the Rose Bowl. Luckily, we get a morning of some pretty good football.
Things kick off at 9am with Houston taking on Penn State (ESPNU). Then at noon, we get Nebraska at South Carolina (ESPN), Michigan State and Georgia (ABC), and Ohio State and Florida (ESPN2).
Stick around the pass the last few hours. Talk the games, or get out any last minute panic. It's a great day to be a Duck.

Go Ducks!
Sadly I’ll be on a plane during the game but I have every confidence that my month long panic will have no impact on the game and the ducks will play well.

It's actually worse
I was supposed to fly yesterday but my wife and kid got food poisoning so we’re flying today. Flight was scheduled to land just before five EDT so of figured I’d catch the second half at least. Now we’re stuck on the ground waiting for weather in NY to clear up before we take off so our new scheduled landing time will be approximately 20+ minutes after the game ends. Which is all to say that I have a great deal of faith that this will all be made good with a win. That’s how things work, right? Right?

its more like a punch to the gut. I don’t blame him for doing what he thinks is best for his career. I wonder why the switch though, if Wilcox/Sirmon wanted to be back west or if there is writing on the wall involving Dooley at UT
Super Fuck!
I almost joked about this when the firing happened, please let this be a huge plan to have Justin undermine the pups for the next 10 years!
For Oregon, King Kelly, and St Quack!
You know he was at Boise State when they took us down, so um, not so much

No, head in sand, that’s the plan! Him and Sermon are there to F things up – see having one of our beloved Ducks at UW is a great thing! Wooo…..ffffuck!

Milliontyninth reason to hate, hate, hate the fuskies!
Oregon loves you, Chip Kelly!
People are worried about him because he was the Boise DC but he did nothing to us when we played Tennessee

I’m worried about him because I think he’s a very talented defensive coordinator.

Lipstick on a pig. Still a pig.

I think anyone that UW hired would be an upgrade
from Holt, but they really need someone who can recruit some defensive talent. The cupboard is pretty bare…
They have a Cave Troll!
I don’t think it’s as bare as people make it out to be.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Oh it's bare
There are some spot positions with talent, but there is no depth and across the board they are not very good.
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen
The Daily Faberian
I think its bare in some positions...
… most certainly CB and run stopping LBs. But the young ends look really good, S is very deep and there is some beef in the middle of the line. A coach could get some pretty quick and significant improvement – especially given the stats surrendered this year.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.
@chrislandon
Also, that’s not quite true that he did “nothing” to us in Tennessee. They held us to 13 points at the half. Yeah, we ended up with 48, but 14 of those weren’t given up by the defense.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
And he had virtually no talent or depth.

My guess is they would still be there, if things were good.
For Oregon, King Kelly, and St Quack!
Definitely. Sark has to beat the Ducks. There's no milestone of success he can achieve
that doesn’t involve going through the Ducks. Same with USC next year. Stanford minus Luck is going to be a big unknown, but certainly for Luck the last 2 years, the challenge has been to get past Oregon. Pac-12 North is going to be one of the most competitive sub-conferences in the land.

I get the sentiment, but it is misleading...
… the ability to show an impact is the key resume builder – and, let’s face it, he couldn’t go anywhere but down at Texas while it is quite the opposite at UW.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.
@chrislandon
You can't be serious.
he couldn’t go anywhere but down at Texas
I know you guys all think that Uw is the end all be all job and were speculating that Oregon’s DC, head coaches and NFL coordinators were going to leap at the chance to coach at Uw, but it’s not on the same level as Texas.
Anywhere but down? You realize that if he was successful at Texas, like you hope he is at Uw, he’d pretty much have the pick of his coaching jobs in a couple of years?

Shows how close this game is expected to be
Anyone who thinks Oregon will win this by a large margin is delusional.
Absolutely. It's going to be close. In fact, I'm only expecting the Ducks to pull it out
because of our conditioning and 4th quarter steadiness
Oregon loves you, Chip Kelly!
But it's my delusions that keep me sane!
I think if Oregon wins, it is by at least two touchdowns. Close games don’t seem to treat us very well.

How about in the
DT era? We usually beat teams more handily in the DT era; but when we don’t, we lose :*(. Cal last year is the only close game we’ve won that comes to mind.

We came back to be in great position to with the NCG last season and the USC game this season.

I'll admit to a very small sample size

Oh yeah, that's the big one. I was thinking more of the DT era, as shenanigans said

We win on a 2 point conversion from DAT to Weems.

Bucky’s 5th Quarter has Oregon over the Badgers.

This is mine too, exactly. Ducks 38, Wiscy 31.

I figure that we have a massive advantage in teams, decent advantage when comparing defenses, and the Badgers have an advantage on offense.

I had been playing video games prior to flipping off my XBox and when I went back to my HDMI 1, there was no sound on the TV. Small panic…(Imaginining Rose Bowl without sound.) Turned on the XBox… no sound. Larger panic mode. Eventually got the sound back by unplugging the main surge protector for a minute. (Thanks to Don who is taller than I and was able to reach back that far.) Waited a minute and voila, sound was back. WHEWWW!!!!!!!! GO DUCKS!!!!!

I'm more inclined to think this game depends on DT. He has a good game, we're in business.
They will stop our run game, or at least try to minimize it. DT has to be able to hit our receivers on the play-action and passing plays. And make the right choice on every, absolutely every zone read play.

The best offense Wisky has played this year
Is ranked around 40th in the country I think. We’re third.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
i agree, i think the key will be for DT to start out well instead of taking a quarter or two to get into a rhythm
Also, we need to win the turnover battle. Scary fact of the day is that Wiscy has only given up the ball 8 times all season. We must protect the ball today or we lose.
This. Absolutely no turnovers. Turnovers and we're done.

Yeah
DT seems to be the key. If LMJ has a big day, we win big, but we can win if he doesn’t, as long as DT hits what is open. And Paulson converts some third and fourth downs. And it doesn’t come down to us having to hit a FG. I will die if it does down to a FG. Even if we make it, I will die first.

Georgia up 16 – 0 vs MSU (pick Georgia)

For the second consecutive year the B1G is just crapping the bed against the SEC in the after-New-Years bowls. Also why are 6-6 Florida and 6-6 tOSU playing after New Years?

If you are nervous consider these goodies
Every higher ranked team has so far won or is winning their bowl game.
Today’s weather favors the smaller faster team.
DT is due for a hot start and has a ton of experience in front of massive audiences.
The big 10 is getting pushed around a lot.

It would be the best thing ever
I feel like he’s gotten sort of jitterbug feet in some of the big games – dancing around too much for holes that don’t appear. I’m hoping he stays calm, puts his head down and RUNS HIS ASS OFF.

Good news
Every time I watch my team in a big post-season game they lose. This time, however, I have work and a boss that will allow no checking of the score and no communication regarding the game until after work at 5pm. By this logic, Oregon will win.
Go Ducks! See y’all on the other side!

Ha-“Chris Polk shredded the Ducks’ weakass D and made their linemen look like school girls. #FuckTheDucks”

I asked him when that happened
I then advised him that further trolling of Oregon fans by UW fans would be stupid.

Wow.
Crack kills. You should warn him. Anyone else here remember Polk ever “shredding” our defense? I remember them scoring an astounding 17 points a couple months ago, and Chip reining in the horses and playing keep-away from the mid third quarter to the end of the game. Riveting.

From the beginning I've been predicating a win on how our offense performs.
I’ve assumed ~35 points from their offense from the beginning while quietly hoping for a Fiesta Bowl-style feat of defensive derring-do from Aliotti. But in the end, I think it’s the job of the offense to finally break through in one of these big games and lay down half-a-hundred. Our advantage in the return game should help as well.

Freaking SEC.
So, say UG wins today. The SEC somehow managed to have their schedule NOT include ’bammy, LSU, or Arkansas for the second year in a row. UG comes into the season with momentum and a reasonably high ranking, plays a favorable schedule, and possibly gets to the SEC Champeenchip game undefeated against a possibly-undefeated SEC West champ. SEC thereby almost guarantees a team in the title game once again. More titles through scheduling. Huzzah.

Houston beats Penn State 30 - 14 FINAL

Return game will be key
Their coverage, from what I’ve read, is terrible. We should be able to exploit that. I’m actually feeling pretty good about today’s game. Everyone claiming Wiscy will just run us over really reminds me of the pre game chatter surrounding the Fiesta bowl and how Colorado was going to run all over our defense.
"Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do" -- John Wooden
COULD be A key.
CU couldn’t throw and our CB’s were veterans that baited them into attempting to do so. This allowed Coach Al to stack the box and take away the run. Wilson is a different cat altogether. Putting our nascent DB’s up against him on an island is very, very different than doing the same against Colorado.
