Too bad, but a hernia isn't as bad as some other common injuries, or is it?

I realize I might have not made my point that clear.

It's the offense I'm unhappy with, specifically the offensive line. They aren't good...not even remotely close. I'm also extremely unhappy with the offensive play calling. Going deep on almost every throw when the opponent blitzes like crazy is simply asking to get beat up. It's just stupid.

Anyway...I should have also added in my other thread how happy I am with the defensive side of the ball. They aren't there yet, but the effort (which was not there last year), as well as the actual play on the field has been pretty darn good. Although they could only go up from where we were.

Especially the Defensive Line. They have been really good all season.

Bears have a 10-3 lead on USC after a touchdown drive, 1-yard run by Vic Enwere. Cal converted twice on 4th down and they are winning the line of scrimmage. Wilcox manages a game really well; he's very decisive and he has this team playing way above their talent level.

Actually have 2 this week Jalen Jelks and Jordon Scott...

From today's presser.

Somehow ASU is trolling my pandora station:

Dale caught up with the Mississippi DE to get his thoughts on the Ducks.

Pickering: Ducks a childhood favorite

Spent four days here in Phoenix visiting with my mom and am about to head to the airport. I've had a lot of time to think about the game and overall I'm feeling more confident about the team than I did. If they can just clean up the penalties, the offensive execution should be much better.

Bring on Cal.

But first, back to Eugene.

Coach after the game.

It tends to go that the extremes of winning and losing also bring out the extremes in our reactions. My thoughts break down to this: On the field, a team is never as bad as their worst moment and never as good as their best. They are somewhere in between and in constant change. Each game is its own dynamic and sometimes the learning curve of a dozen freshmen along with an entire new culture fall prey to unknown variables.

Fifth Quarter: Arizona State

Richard Sherman, lol. Dude laid a wicked late, out of bounds, hit on Mariota, Big win for the Titans.

IT would be cool if we DSA guys can support this. I was going to donate a little, so now I know where to send it!

Here we go looking to start Pac-12 play the right way.

Post ASU comments. Interesting about his spiking penalty.

Ugh...happens too often.

I was at this game in Tempe and penalties doomed us. I understand that we are a young team and that its the first year for everyone but there comes a time when the team should turn a corner with the procedure miscues. Next year the incoming class will have mentors that have been in the system for a year but damn its frustrating to see my beloved Ducks beat themselves drive after drive on both sides of the ball. Patience I suppose.

There's this weeks grades.

Here we go about two hours before the game. Not too hot, should be pretty much perfect weather at 7pm for kickoff.
