As always, it’s not just bad calls here and there. They are directly influencing the scores of games. They added/removed 17 points last night with objectively wrong calls.rockthief wrote:Thank you.

Remenber Glasses? That was awhile ago and the officials are still crap. How do they not see what is there in front of them? I stopped shaking my head because it gave me a headache. Reprimand them and then be rid of them. How about hiring officials from other conferences? Fly them in and call the games properly.
I really like that aspect of Brown's game. He might actually be the best running quarterback Oregon's ever had. I remember earlier in the year I compared him the Darron Thomas however he has a lot more power and athleticism than Thomas. He isn't quite as consistent at throwing as Thomas was but he is sort of like Cam Newton where you can take a few bad throws if he can run like that.chapelhillduck wrote:AB is 6’3’’, 230ish, and quick….
Passing is a whole other discussion but that’s a hell of a guy to try and tackle
On the acrobatic TD last night, watch the guy just bounce off his leg

I have to say that he would be third in my book, first would be Mariota, then Dixon…then Brown.duck023 wrote:I really like that aspect of Brown's game.

Today was a great day for the Ducks. With Oklahoma out of the picture, we're in the playoff assuming we win out. We dominated WSU and established ourselves as an elite running team. We also kept ourselves alive in the North Division race... and without that, we have nothing.
The refs... good god! How did they decide that AB didn't break the plane? Lots of bizarre stuff in this game that could have affected the outcome.
Cardwell Jr. is legit. I'm buying Cardwell stock.
Excited for Utah. Highly confident that we'll win.
Was DJ James ok after getting hurt near the end?
Also, the Huskies blew a lead and lost.
Great day to be a Duck!
It was a nice play but the ball security looked pretty bad.chapelhillduck wrote:AB is 6’3’’, 230ish, and quick….

He isn't quite as consistent at AB could pass as well as DT, this team would be, potentially, unbelievably successful.duck023 wrote:chapelhillduck wrote:AB is 6’3’’, 230ish, and quick….

Masoli was great some times but he tried a lot of goofy stuff too and Brown doesn't do the goofy stuff but they are very similar runners. Dixon was a great runner but it was mainly his speed similar to Mariota but they weren't really powerful like Brown is. I will say Dixon and Mariota are better throwers but Masoli's throwing wasn't that much better than Brown's.73duck wrote:Dixon and Masoli each had one incredible skill.
Dixon, especially in 2007, could pick up a 3rd and 8 any time he wanted to just by running to the sideline.
Masoli inside the five yard line was automatic on the zone read, usually keeping it himself. TD every time with no screwing around.
Reggie Ogburn and Chris Miller ran it pretty well, too.
I'm being nitpicky here, but Hill is the far better athlete of the two. Bigger, faster, stronger. Bennett led California in interceptions in high school but was under-recruited because of his lack of athleticism, so I wouldn't describe him as twitchy (but maybe we're just thinking different things when you say twitchy). What sets him apart are his instincts and football acumen.GrantDuck wrote:
-Defense still has some inconsistency due to the backups. Jamal Hill got picked on today pretty hard as Bennett Williams was simply better. Hill is not bad, he's just not "twitchy" enough for many slot receivers.
