Could that first half have gone any worse? Well, I guess Chip could announce he's taken an NFL job, but that might be about it.

On offense, Marcus Mariota and Kenjon Barner both missed time due to injuries, but have come back. On defense, Taylor Hart and Avery Patterson have missed extended time due to injuries. Avery Patterson's was especially painful, as a shot of him crying as he left the field was caught by the ESPN cameras.

But after some early struggles, the Ducks lead at the half 24-10. The offense has looked good, and the defense has made some much needed stops. It hasn't been pretty and the panic has been plentiful, but I'll take a two score lead.

Stick around and discuss the second half with your fellow Duck fans.

NO PANTS! FULL GLASS! CAN'T LOSE!
