Man, I'm gonna miss Sadiq next year after he goes to the NFL. Whatever team picks him up is getting a beast.

Not a bad first half! Take away a botched trick play and a controversial 3rd down PI and it might be 28-0.

That was a clear block in the back…where was the flag? They even played it in slo mo and it was clear as day, right in front of the play. But that bs PI CALL??? These refs are really trying to give Pac12 refs a run for their money.

Minne is going to be one dimensional the rest of the game. Will be kinda fun to see who responds in the secondary, and who gets pressure on them.

Minnesota OC realizing what all of us Duck fans know, Tosh is more addicted to 3rd down blitzes than Stein is to the screen pass.

My gosh Tosh stop with the predictable 3rd down blitzes. I think Tosh is the reason our 3rd down defense is so bad, he’s so predictable on 3rd down.

The blitzing wouldn't be as bad if it actually managed to put pressure on the QB, but 9/10 times this doesn't happen. The pass rush this year is a shadow of what we saw last year.

Our pressure packages are awful and our DL rarely wins on the pass rush.

It’s so bad that it’s hard to tell whether is the individual players or the entire scheme…. Or both.

Love a lot of things about this team, but there’s just no kill in this D and it will bite them again if something doesn’t change quickly.

I guess with our LB’s it won’t matter whether you blitz, spy, or stay in coverage, might as well be aggressive.

This is true. The LBs this year are definitely the weak link.

Our 3rd down defense has been far from stellar under Tosh, I’m inclined to think that his overly aggressive defensive playcalls on 3rd down is able to be taken advanced of by good OC’s.

Outside of red zone, Oregon is one of the top defenses in the nation. Relax. More often, our offense isn’t supporting the D.

Our defense has been the shining spot overall, but I think it’s fair to be concerned that in 3 games this season when our defense needed a stop they gave up TD’s and that we continue to see Oregon give up easy 3rd down conversions on blitz playcalls that aren’t getting close to pressuring the QB.

Lol, that last hospital ball from Moore laid out multiple people on both teams!
