re: Time to eat some crow for our loss(long) from a Duck

Tyrann Mathieu must be the luckiest player in college football with all the gifts he receives from other teams each weekend.

Injuries being a factor? Yes but we had three experienced offensive starters not playing. Take out your starting quarterback and see how that plays out for most teams! Or sit LMJ on the bench all game and see how many points you guys score. If LMJ was the most dangerous player on the field (probably was BTW), the second most dangerous player was watching the game from his apartment while his brothers in purple and gold were beating up the Ducks!

As far as stats, once we opened the big lead we pulled a Saban and began to play "not to lose". Your D knew we were not going to throw it so they went from 8 in the box to 10 on some plays. And we didn't try to exploit that since it would have involved having to throw down the field. But a couple play actions and a throw to RR (or RS if he was playing) and we could have ended up with 50+ and overwhelminig stats against the #12 D in the nation. Instead we resigned ourselves to running three plays and punting because Les knew that our D could contain your O on most occassions.

Oh yea. That last touchdown was against the rookies and reserves so you actually only scored 20 on the real LSU D. And subtact about 65 yards in total offense that you got against them.

BTW, how do the UO coaches account for cramps when you are playing in a 72 degree air conditioned dome? I actually read someone say (UO writer) that was a factor that could have changed the game. How about being in shape for the first game and you wouldn't have cramps!

That being said, best of luck to the Ducks. You guys have an outstanding program. You play exciting football and are very fun to watch.

As your fans claim, we are still arrogant about playing in the best conference in the country. Of course, until someone unseats the SEC consistently for the NC we will continue to be that way. But like Dizzy Dean said, "it ain't braggin if it's true!" And you know that it is true!!! Can I get an Amen!

Generally a good post and good luck in the future but:

I am not going to make any excuses to losing

gets kinda shot down by:

we had many more yards vs you

we turned the ball over 4 times and 3 of those times we fumbled the ball near the end zone, making it easy to get those points against us.

if we did not gift wrap those 20 points

one could see it either way, just our errors caused that loss

Yes it did suck that our best Linebacker/hardest hitter was not playing for that game. And our All American CB/nations best Punt returner.

Dont for get the fumble LSU gave to oregon on that high snap that gave yall an easy touchdown, so the points offset and you only really gave us 13 points. That would put us at 27 points and yes you did score 27 points but i believe if we really needed to we would have stopped you on that last drive.

Also about the dropped balls I beleve we had quite a few more than you did including several long passes that would have given us crucial first downs along with one in the endzone.

and for what you said about DT having a bad game i think he looked pretty good, he threw for 240 yards and the one interception the cb simon just had better positon plus hes 6'3.

Overall good post though
