#12 Oregon @ #18 UCLA

Good thing I avoided the boards in the final minutes since it looks like a whinefest the last couple pages. Oregon got the win so be happy. Seems this board can't be happy anymore now that Oregon has a loss.

Great win!!!

We're right back in the driver's seat for the Pac-12 title and probably a playoff birth.

Nah, Auburn is going to get an automatic bid after today's valiant loss to MSU. We, on the other hand, played and curb stomped the wrong MSU.

So true. Our fan base is emo.

I think some people have made up their minds that the coaches have to go, and now whenever they see something they don't like, they'll use that to vent their frustrations. Same thing that happened with Aliotti.

Yes happy we got the W but it was pathetic last 9 min performance from the Ducks and call playing from both side of the ball. They almost let them make a comeback. Too early to take pedal off, Id take it off last 3 min of the game, Not when theres plenty of time in 4th quarter.

^ allowing them three tds in a couple minutes and we are whining? I don't believe so.

Good bounceback win on the road against a good team. Let off the gas a little early but they won't happen again. Still work to do but the team and coaches didn't fold.

I'm happy for the win, but lets face it, perceptions matter and Oregon giving up 553 yards of offense, 31 first downs, and 30 points to a team we were dominating is inexcusable.

This was the game everyone was worried about before the season. It was never out of hand and we're back in the conversation. Everyone take a deep breath and enjoy a good win as much as you hated the loss.

It's laziness. Take a note out of Leach and RR, and keep pouring it on until the clock strikes 0:00. We already have one loss, so a 42-10 win over UCLA vs a 42-31 win over UCLA could be the difference when it comes to making playoffs.

Exactly. If you are the committee and evaluating a one loss Oregon and one loss Auburn who are you picking? Well, Oregon is the worst defense in the entire nation, so theres that.

Still, awesome win. Feel really good for Helfrich, too. He coached circles around Mora today.

Learn the numbers of the players so you know when the backups are in PLEASE! I totally think they took key starters out way too early and hope they don't do that in the future, but the backups need game experience and there will be growing pains.

I am especially happy for the players who stepped into their man shoes today. Go Ducks!

Exactly. I was seeing a lot of backups in the LB and DL at the end so I do think they did probably ease up too early. It's a minor thing that they can work on in the future. With this team, I don't think they can coast as easily as they've been able to in past years.
