Oregon-Wazzu tied nearing halftime - washingtonismoney - 09-20-2014
Hmmmmm
Re: Oregon-Wazzu tied nearing halftime - washingtonismoney - 09-20-2014
Wazzu's defensive line -- which we've last seen being pushed around by mighty Rutgers and Nevada -- is whipping Oregon's.

Has Oregon looked bad or is WSU just getting lucky or something else entirely?

Wazzu racing up and down the field. Halliday has almost 300 261 yards at the half. Cougs inexplicably have almost twice the time of possession as Ducks.
Oregon OL has 3 new starters due to injuries coming into game.

Mariota sacked five times in the first half. You heard it here first...

The Ducks tend to be a second half team.
We'll see what happens, but I'll be surprised if they don't put on their usual second half surge and win this going away.

Dunno, man. Duck defense looked very suspect in the first half, plus their patchwork O-line is having problems protecting Mariota. Cougs (fans and team) have been amped up so far.

Rooting hard for Wazzu. . . But then, I also rooted hard for Clemson and others today. One hope left :)

It's probably better for us if Oregon wins.

Why do you say that? Seems to me if we want to win the conference, it'd be helpful to have more margin for error.

I hadn't considered that Oregon losing one lets us lose another non-Oregon game and still get into the PAC-12 CG. I was only thinking of losing to Oregon, where we'd need them to lose 3, which is unlikely. I mean, if they lose to WSU then we should kill them.
Re: Oregon-Wazzu tied nearing halftime - washingtonismoney - 09-20-2014
Couple of WSU fumbles bounce Oregon's way. Oregon, with a +6 TO margin this year, has probably been benefitting from some TO luck.
Re: Oregon-Wazzu tied nearing halftime - pcgoode - 09-20-2014
Tied at 31 with 8:57 left in the 4th. Wow.
Re: Oregon-Wazzu tied nearing halftime - washingtonismoney - 09-20-2014
It's tied again, 31-31.
It's strange -- Oregon under Helfrich really leans on Mariota to run to bail them out of tough situations, in a way they didn't need to with Chip.
Re: Oregon-Wazzu tied nearing halftime - washingtonismoney - 09-20-2014
Man, I wish we had somehow gotten Freeman. He would've been perfect for our offense.
Re: Oregon-Wazzu tied nearing halftime - pcgoode - 09-20-2014
38-31 for the ducks late in the 4th. This game could easily come down to who has the ball last. Oregon does not look like a top team.
Re: Oregon-Wazzu tied nearing halftime - stupac2 - 09-20-2014
Oregon saved by a terrible non-call on textbook PI.
Re: Oregon-Wazzu tied nearing halftime - pcgoode - 09-20-2014
3:34 left in the game and the Ducks just got their first sack of the night. I've lost track of how many times the Cougs have sacked Mariota.
Meanwhile, in Arizona - BostonCard - 09-20-2014
Cal loses 36-14... in the fourth quarter!
Cal was winning 31-13 at the end of the third quarter. Arizona manages to score FIVE touchdowns and a field goal in the last quarter, including 3 TD's in the last 4 minutes of the game. The winning drive started on their own 14 yard line with 45 seconds to go and ended as time expired. I almost feel sorry for the bears.

Looks like Wazzu did end up giving them a tight game, Maybe the Ducks are vulnerable this year. I hope so, because I think our chances of beating them in Eugene and winning every other conference game to get to the championship contest are a little shaky.
