FWIW,I thought Herbert looked to be in good spirits in the shots we saw of him on the sideline.

Best thing about this win is it all but eliminates the possibility that Oregon has to play in the Vegas Bowl, allowing Oregon to have 3 full weekends to host recruiting visits before the early signing period starts.

I’m sure the players aren’t so pleased. Vegas or El Paso...

I had forgotten what happened last year, that is good news!

The TV announcers said that the injury to Herbert appeared to be his hand, but it likely wasn't his throwing hand because he used that hand to stand up with after the sack. If it had hurt I can't imagine him putting his body weight on it. Even a fractured metacarpal hurts.

He clearly grabs his shoulder/collar bone when you watch the replay. But I watched him lift both arms up so I doubt it’s collar bone. Hopefully just being cautious

Sat 3rd row behind the bench, definitely his shoulder not collar bone. He tried throwing right after, and then again about 5 min later. Winced everytime and there was a hitch in it. A doc came over and pushed a little on it and he almost fell over and at that point they were done trying.

Cyrus wasn't suited up until after TBJ and Verdell went down, he went into the locker room and got his stuff on and came back out and started warming up.

Given the mechanism of the injury, that they want to get an MRI and your description, it sounds like an AC joint sprain.

Why did Mario choose to run it on the last two plays with the clock running down and the huge lead, instead of just setting up victory formation and taking two knees?

Imagine if our RB or a lineman gets injured on one of those two final plays when we really have nothing to gain from running two more rushing plays. Mario doesn't seem like a stat padder, so was perplexing.

I wondered the same thing. I wondered if it's just that Burmeister has never run the victory formation under Cristobal - like even in practice. That would seem stupid though.

My guess is he didn't like OS throwing in their last drive (and scoring a TD) when the game was clearly over.

^ I wondered about that too and now I agree MC wanted to prevent a garbage time score. I wish he had played Shough though. Burmeister looked confident but I have a tough time trusting him. Hopefully he will become a good QB by next season. Would have enjoyed seeing Shough play, maybe pass a few times.

Watched the game. Beavers are really bad.

Good job by our OL taking advantage of them most the game.

I hadn't watched them at all this season so I was kinda surprised at how bad they were. I expected them to be much better offensively anyway, instead they were just offensive.

I have the game on the DVR still and plan to sit down and re-watch this weekend.

I rewatched a bit of it and the Beavers really shot themselves in the foot alot when trying to get fancy. They'd establish drives and then do something dumb like a jump pass or double reverse and it'd go horrifically wrong. Oregon's offensive line did well but the defense seems to have regressed since the Stanford and Washington games.
