Rose Bowl Thread (UO vs tOSU)

[karlhungis]

Crap....

[Boom]

Blount's fumble was the key play.... I honestly think we were gona score right there and win the game.

Losers? Tell you what, when your school becomes something other than a shoe factory, you let us know. Next time you meet an elite team, you might want to consider the winning history of that team that got them to where they are at. Hoped you enjoyed your licking.

Oregon might win by a wide margin, but you don't go to the rose bowl if you aren't a very good team. I wouldn't underestimate Ohio State.

Tell that to Illinois from 2 rose bowls ago. Same with last years Penn St team. IMO its been awhile since theres been a quality opponent from the big10 in the rose bowl.

Ever since we knew the pac10 winner would play tosu I've been very confident. It's who I would've hand picked to play if given the choice. A vastly overrated soft, slow team from the big10. A team that we can easily beat but still get tons of credit for beating because they're "THE ohio st university". I CANNOT wait for the licking we are going to put on these losers.

If anyone had told me Pryor would start passing like Andrew Luck, I would have laughed... Long, and loud.

The fumble didn't help, but Give tOSU credit. They dictated most of the game.

Not sure taking the opening kickoff would have changed anything.

Nutz.

I still love my Ducks.

Now go recruit some better talent for the D, please.

[Greydrake]

Ditto that Wounded,

LOVE MY DUCKS!

That fumble is the key to the game, I wouldn't put the blame on LGB as the ball was up in his chest, but those are the type of plays you want to avoid but you can't have them all.

[woundedknees]

Time to start preparing for the next big run... Build on this season, Ducks!

Hope that Masoli can take a leap forward for his senior campaign.

It will definitely be good to have more (And better prepared/experienced) weapons.

Props to an OSU ... their defense took away our passing game and stymied our run game more than usual. They were the better team.

Congrats on the PAC-10 title Duckies ... we're all so proud of you!

[woundedknees]

The Ducks actually put up decent numbers compared to tOSU's normal rush defense(179 yards, compared to 89 YPG average entering the game.), but failed to assert themselves in the passing game, and failed to score TDs in the redzone.

Props to tOSU for a good scheme, on both sides of the ball.

Hope this helps recruiting D-Line personnel. That is may be the biggest problem right now.

OK game by the Ducks, but Ohio State defense controlled the pace of the game and held us to alot fewer points than we are used to scoring....Props to OSU for the win...Fans were a bit on the uppity side, but what can ya expect? After all, they are "The OSU"...lol...
Lots of fun tailgating on the golf course..Would have been a complete trip with a W, but then again, there is always next year.

GOOOOOO DUCKS...

Gotta agree with this here. Game changing play.

It wasnt a positive thing, but it was not a game changer..We got just flat got outplayed by a superior team, at least yesterday...
The stats spell it out...Clear and simple....

[Brophdog88]

any time you turn the ball over in the red zone when a FG even would give you the lead its a game changer

[duckgrad99]

The fumble by Blount was huge, but either way, you just never got the feeling that the ducks were in control and were going to win this game. Oregon didn't play well and didn't deserve to win.

I disagree. I thought we were about to go ahead, and possibly seize control. I think there has been a lot of overreaction to this game. "Deserve to win" is a value judgment. Whoever has the most points "deserves to win". But I believe you play this game 10 times, and we win 5. Props to OSU, but we are certainly capable of playing and beating them.
