OREGON DUCKS: Can ANYBODY Beat Them?

[@wademitchell6335]

As a Duck fan, you always respect our opponents, but you should never fear your opponents. That's a recipe for failure. I'm sure Ohio State doesn't fear us. Healthy respect is important to focus your attention and actions in preparing you for the battle.

[@natedunn5937]

Any team can lose, but if Oregon is healthy, I like our chances against OSU.

[@clarencewalder2985]

I like Ohio chances especially on neutral field. Oregon can lose to about 8 teams on neutral field

Well Clarence, if your Nuts can beat Michigan, Oregon will be in Indy, on that neutral field, waiting for them 🦆​@clarencewalder2985

[@pking1922]

It appears these two O teams are the two best in the nation when they’re healthy and it is going to come down to who brings their A game. I think the sec has more mid level teams that have the ability to beat both these teams. They would both have two losses if they were playing there but still be the two best teams. Just an opinion and could be wrong.

Oregon fan here. Love the show, Craig. Leading up to the ohio state game, the ducks hadn't produced many explosive plays on offense, but then in that game they made it clear they had been holding back. I agree the ducks looked beatable against Wisconsin, but the play calling in that game, specifically at the end of the first half as well as the fake field goal at the end of the game, implied that the Oregon coaching staff never took the Wisconsin offense all that seriously. Dan Lanning has proven himself to be a savvy tactician. He knows that to win a national championship, you'll now have to be prepared to win a minimum of three tough games in a row, keeping some plays hidden until the right time. With all that in mind, are the ducks beatable? Possibly, the Wisconsin game might even be a sign they're trending in the wrong direction. But there's also a chance they've been holding back, and they might even hold back in the B1G championship game, keeping their eye on the true prize. With any luck, we won't see the playbook fully opened up until the national championship game. Time will tell, but no matter what, this season has been awesome. I love my ducks!!! 🦆

Ohio State and Oregon seem to be a shoulder above the rest; however, this is an experiment in endurance. We've never had a potential for so many games in one season. Should the injury bug hit in a game or two it will change the outcome of the entire playoff. Depth will be tested to the max. It is going to be awesome! Go Ducks!

[@HamRadioLiveShow]

Craig, nice video. Thank you for your kind words and for honoring our Ducks. BIG RESPECT for Ohio State and Penn State, Indiana as well. I hope all four of us make the CFP. It would be quite the honor to win the Big Ten championship our first year in. But, the way the CFP is set up, it’s almost better to have the number five seed, than number one. Sure, you get the bye… but most likely this year, your first game after that week off will be against Georgia. At the five, you place someone like Arizona State/Boise State. Big difference. Still it would be an honor to win it all in the Big Ten.

[@waynesmith1324]

I just hope the officials crew is solid. Let the players earn the win on the field. I believe the first Duck vs Buckeye game was very physical in the passing game with the receiving corps. I am hoping for a well played game for both teams and the nation is on the edge of their seats the entire game. If Gabriel plays solid and the Duck defense keeps playing as well as they have been they should take home a Big 10 title.

[@maninthemiddle55]

Duck fan here, much respect for tOSU. I was at the last 2 games between Oregon and Ohio State. I’m hoping for at least one more of those. Go Ducks!

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

I feel that the game between the Huskies and Ducks - is gonna be Oregon's " Trap " game since the Ducks have lost to the Huskies 3 x over the last 2 years. Last year it was in a regular season game and the PAC-12 Championship game. More then likely the Ducks have been playing better so they will be favored but in sports any one can beat any one else at any time. I will be watching this game intensely.

[@tuzonthume]

I think it's a shame that the Duck's didn't play every Original Big 10 program this year just for you Craig. They don't call it the Midwest offense for a reason. The west coast offense doesn't shred the best defenses any better than any other scheme after all. What it does is put up big numbers vs weak defenses and big numbers build media exposure and player recognition. Some young athletes like to be noticed. University of Oregon and their Sponsors noticed this over thirty years ago. But then, Year after year, QB after QB, thru all those coaches that knew the issue but only brought lip service for the defense. The coverage was always great against most of the other west coast teams. 2011 was a good example of the inevitable outcome of trying to outgun an opponent with a better defense. This current Ducks team is a hope realized in the fan base. From the top down there's a commitment to doing what it takes to maximize the potential of each player. It's about character and respect now. Every team they meet this year will have to believe they can win and they will because there are nothing but the best left to beat. They will have to bring their best game because I don't believe Oregon's axe is ground yet. Whoever will have a gut check before the first third down on offense or defense. That's the difference I'm seeing. This team grinds in the trenches at speed. Not only is the shift towards a more capable defense, It's a shift to a more physical game comprehensively!! There is discipline and physicality on both sides of the ball at every position. Innovation and timely decisions on the sidelines? plays drawn up for linemen to score?

Finally someone says it. Yes Oregon and Ohio State are the two best teams in the country. I’m a Duck fan and I have a ton of respect for Ohio State. It feels like the SEC has such hold on society that everyone’s afraid to say it. It feels like we have to give SEC teams a nod every year whether they deserve it or not. Granted they usually deserve it but I don’t think so this year. We’ve played musical chairs with which team is supposed to be the next best thing since sliced bread. The SEC is tough but none of them stand out. Ok had to edit Texas maybe? I do t know what to think about them. One more thing I believe over time the Big ten will catch up and surpass the SEC. It will take years to do so but I think that’s what I see. The Big ten is across the country where the SEC is in the south. The TV deals will change things over time. I admit I’m thinking this over in front everyone lol. It’s a little uncomfortable. 😬

[@monteguerin-y9b]

The way the playoff system is set up it is a possible scenario that Oregon and Ohio State could play a total of three times depending if each team continues to win and how they are placed, what if the ducks win in the conference championship and would lose to Ohio State in the National championship, who actually is the better team, Ohio State at 1-2 or Oregon at 2-1, is that a flaw with the system on how they place team, curious on others opinions.

Let's be real here Oregon beat Ohio State on a penalty

[@dfausti66]

Wow! Oregon is undefeated in the Big 10 and in their first year as a newbie from the PAC 12. It kind of makes the rest of the nation wonder if all the talk that the Big 10 is the best in the nation is a bunch of fluff, smoke, and screen from the talking media heads. Who knew the PAC 12 was a better conference? It is also curious just how Texas as a newbie from the Big 12 to the SEC is dominating that conference also. I guess the SEC and Big 10 are not as strong as we all thought they were. I mean, why didn't it take Oregon and Texas a couple of years to start winning if the Big 10 and the SEC are the best conferences in the nation at college football?

[@donaldjones9830]

First, every power conference of the last 40 years has bad teams, regardless of whether that conference collapsed, expanded or had teams switch. While the PAC 12 had 200 more NCAA championships than second place SEC, that was driven by softball, track, volleyball and soccer, and some success in basketball with Oregon having 1 title and UCLA had 11. The SEC has dominated in football but only in last 25 years. Oregon was built for the Big 10 and so was Texas for the SEC. The southern states have big players and big population to recruit. Oregon has recruited the best of all former PAC 12 schools. Something you need to compete for nattys. So am I surprised? No. Does it mean Oregon or Texas will win the championship? No. Winning and recruiting well, helps win games even in a new conference. It recruits better coaching also. It recruits better player development also. It also leads to better scheduling in non conference games. You do want to beat better teams, do you? All teams play cupcakes in any sport. That is a given. The SEC has fewer irrelevant teams than the Big 10 which is now top heavy like the former PAC 12. But it’s an upgrade for Oregon. The only former team they will play outside the conference is little brother in Corvallis. Ohio State benefits from having better competition in the conference from Oregon. You want the other invites to play well also. I love that Indiana is good, but like Penn State, they both missed Oregon. Here is my problem. The SEC plays one less conference game and they play the worse non conference teams. Mercer, Alabama fans? Not fair to say they are a better conference when they play by different rules than everyone else. The likelihood that a team joins 2007’s LSU as a two or three loss champion is real high. The Ducks are the only undefeated FBS Division 1 school. Usually there is about three at this juncture of the season. It will make going undefeated harder as one must win 16 games or 17 games at minimum. Maybe the semifinals losers should play after the championship game for third place. Make it interesting.
