Quack Fix: Ducks must break OSU's zone to keep Big Dance dreams alive

PrintIf you missed last night's Tuesday Night Talks, make sure to download it here. Here's your quack this morning.
- OSU's 1-3-1 zone has always seemed to give Oregon fits, and if the Ducks want to keep any chance of postseason play, they need to break that zone this weekend at OSU. Turnovers have plagued the Ducks all season, including a season-high 23 last time they met the Beavers.
- The stakes for this game? Matt Prehm says that the Ducks are in a 'win or go home' situation for the NCAA tournament. If the Ducks can win the rest of their games, and make a run in the Pac-12 tournament, they'll be in the mix for an at-large bid.
- Considering Oregon's attrition over the past few years, it's amazing that the Ducks are in this position at all. Adam Jude catches up with some former Ducks. Drew Wiley is at Boise State and Jamil Wilson is at Marquette. Both seem to be doing well, and Wilson is the "most talented player" on a top 10 Marquette team.
- Oregon pitcher Jimmy Sherfy was honored for his performance on Saturday. He was named Pac-12 pitcher of the week after striking out 13 Hawaii batters in 5 2/3 innings of relief.
- Justin Hopkins has an article on how recruiting is different. For those of you new to following recruiting, this is a good primer on how the Ducks go about it.
- Sporting News has a look at the NFL running back class, and after Trent Richardson, it doesn't seem like there are many names that are grabbing NFL GMs. Hopefully this helps give LaMichael James a chance to move up the draft board.
That's all for now, drop any other quack in the comments. GO DUCKS!

It's been a while since I've seen a football game live.
I made it out and caught a few practices during fall camp last summer… the thing that shocked me most was how thick both he and KJB were. You don’t get a great sense on TV for how ripped they really are. Which blows my mind then thinking about guys like Ingram from ’Bama who look really ripped on TV.

Nice post from Wilner
about the chances of the top 4 teams in the Pac at getting into the tourney. I particularly like the comparisons to some of the “At-Large Locks” compared to Oregon and AZ. I still think Oregon needs to win out to get into the Tourney, but the comparisons are really good to see.

Thanks for the link.
I actually really enjoy Wilner’s stuff, with the exception of his power rankings, which feel like they are done specifically to drive traffic by infuriating people.
I don't mean to impose...
His rankings (and usually his AP votes)
are awful. His coverage of the Pac 12 media deal and some of his other pieces have been terrific.
The All I Saw Was Green Blog, that's it I'm telling SBN legal
RE his rankings,
I tend to feel about them like I do from time to time about certain political candidates with whom I disagree, but still hold a small of respect due to their earnestness. Their positions are as silly, inane and potentially insulting as any other politician’s stands – but the inane stands they take seem to come from actual daffy conviction, rather than pander and ulterior motives. This can feel slightly more respectable.
Somewhere, somehow, a Duck is watching you.
Despite never, EVER actually getting in trouble
Darron Thomas only rates a 3 on intangibles simply because he was near other people when they did get in trouble.
Tim Tebow must have gotten a 2.
Also, why do they call out his parents’ names in this area? Despite the fact that his father is famous, it doesn’t outline Andrew Luck’s parentage under ‘intangibles’. And they slobber all over the fact that Luck returned to school to get his degree yet do not mention that Darron also has his.
And Andrew Luck is a “proven winner” but Darron is not?? How many Rose Bowls and NCGs did Luck play in again? Any Pac10/12 championships under his belt?
SOMEBODY IS BEING MEAN TO ONE OF MY BABY DUCKS! Besides, it smacks of the “R” word.

"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
[Will Auction Off Sig To Highest Bidder]
Respectfully, of course, I would like to offer some thoughts.
They designate a 3 as “average,” which I agree from our perspective doesn’t seem reflective of the leadership we saw, especially this past year.
However, while Darron didn’t get charged with anything in the three times he was a passenger (the article doesn’t mention the time he was riding with Pleasant), for an organisation looking to sink between hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars into a person, the fact that he’s present in those situations would probably appear at first glance to be “at-risk” behaviour.
Also, Darron is definitely a proven winner, which gets picked up through his Production ranking. But to many the feeling is that Stanford’s success over the past 2 years was much more a product of Luck’s presence than Oregon’s was a product of Darron’s.
To improve his stock this weekend I think the key thing Darron needs to do is partake in all drills and really nail the interviews. I think he can do both.

Comparing the 2
Darron’s does provide the facts, but they do spend a lot of words to say “this guy has a habit riding around in cars with marijuana in them”
Luck’s sounds like it was co-authored by Peter King, Rick Reilly, and his Grandmother.

Chris Harris note from Rob Rang
CB Cliff Harris, Oregon: Harris has been a bit of a forgotten man since multiple run-ins with authorities led to his ultimately being kicked off the team by head coach Chip Kelly. While he’ll certainly need to answer scouts’ questions, once Harris is allowed to show off his athletic gifts, I believe he’ll quickly force NFL teams to recognize his upside. After playing at less than 170 pounds throughout much of his career with the Ducks, scouts will be just as interested in how Harris physically measures up as well as how fast he runs, etc.

So, I did some duck history recon for Benz tonight in the Emerald's archives.
Among the funny things I found out that he won’t use (all backed up with photo proof):
In the 1930s, girls needed written permission to leave campus for any reason or were subject to a fine.
People still placed relationship ads in the classifieds.
The editorial letters were referred to as “Lemons”
The first “Gameday” edition of the Emerald was the Oregon @ Washington contest in 1931. Apparently this was a really, really big deal.
Benz, I’m emailing you a shitload of pictures in the morning. You owe me.
