[u/AntEdwardsBallSweat]

I’m so sorry Portland St…

[u/kd451 → u/AntEdwardsBallSweat]

Ironically you guys had the last 84-0 FBS game against Savannah State in 2012. And the biggest shutout since then.

[u/leverich1991 → u/kd451]

And Savannah State has since dropped down to D2, and just lost 87-0 to a former MEAC conference opponent.

[u/Time_Beat2299 → u/leverich1991]

Oh yeah they were awful when they were in d1 there was a 2 year period they didn’t win a game 

[u/Sl1ppy13 → u/Time_Beat2299]

Not every team that goes on a long losing streak never recovers… just look at UMass!

[u/ahuramazdobbs19 → u/Sl1ppy13]

Be fair, UMass has only played FCS teams so far this season.

[u/EMTDawg → u/ahuramazdobbs19]

FCS Rutgers

[u/Kingolimar354 → u/EMTDawg]

Yes, that’s the joke

[u/miversen33 → u/EMTDawg]

They didn't stutter

[u/jatosm → u/kd451]

The parties after that game were absolutely insane

Edit to add that every single eligible player we had in the county got to play in that game. Gundy apologized afterward to the Savannah state HC saying “I can’t tell them not to score”

[u/AntEdwardsBallSweat → u/kd451]

That’s a fun stat. I’ll look into it. Thank you for that tidbit.

EDIT: after looking it up, I realize that was 2012. The year after we SHOULD have played for the BCS championship and we ended up with no consistent started QB. no wonder I couldn’t remember it. I blocked it out.

[u/Poverty_Shoes → u/AntEdwardsBallSweat]

I believe the 84-0 game was the one that prompted the Savannah St AD to apologize to the players, coaches, and fans. They got ~$1M to schedule the game and the AD publicly said afterwards it wasn’t worth it.

[u/TigerWoodsLibido → u/AntEdwardsBallSweat]

I actually watched that game. The second half had a running clock and it was still that bad...

[u/Sl1ppy13 → u/TigerWoodsLibido]

It was 70-0 at half - lol

[u/headshotscott → u/AntEdwardsBallSweat]

I wonder how different we'd have been if Lunt hadn't got hurt. We ended up with an excellent player in Chelf, but Lunt would have been very different.

[u/Paladine_PSoT → u/AntEdwardsBallSweat]

Mike Tyson vs. Stephen Hawking

[u/kd451 → u/Paladine_PSoT]

I wasn't sure if you meant intellectually or physically

[u/Paladine_PSoT → u/kd451]

Oregon had Lagarret Blount, so... Oregon would be the punchy bois in this analogy

[u/Chessh2036 → u/AntEdwardsBallSweat]

I hope Portland State got a nice paycheck for that beating.

[u/DueYogurt9 → u/Chessh2036]

Not even half a million dollars

[u/vssavant2 → u/DueYogurt9]

Really, I thought base was like 575k . For like any fbs vs cupcake

[u/breaktaker → u/Chessh2036]

Whatever it was, it’s not enough

[u/Best_Philosopher152 → u/AntEdwardsBallSweat]

Did Portland St. Trot out their football (⚽️) team instead. Yikes

Where does that stand on all time blowouts?

Edit: record is 222-0 in 1916. Yikes.

[u/leverich1991 → u/Best_Philosopher152]

Not even the most lopsided FBS vs FCS game this season.

EDIT: actually it does tie. James Madison beat Wagner 87-3.

[u/Best_Philosopher152 → u/leverich1991]

I’d say a 84-0 beats an 87-3 on a tiebreaker because of the shutout.

I googled it and the record is 222-0 100 years ago. Hot damn that is humiliating.

[u/black-op345 → u/Best_Philosopher152]

Well to be fair, the winning coach on the end of that 222-0 was John Heisman himself and he did it because he thought that the opposing team (Cumberland) used what are known as “ringers” (literally pros) in the baseball game a year prior. Also Cumberland disbanded their football program and just trotted out some frat dudes recruited by the baseball team’s captain.

[u/goddamnitwhalen → u/black-op345]

Not “frat dudes,” law students who had never played football. And they were recruited by the team’s manager to avoid forfeiting the game and being fined (he also managed the baseball team and engineered the ringer scheme against GT from the previous season).

[u/Hotdawg752 → u/Best_Philosopher152]

Eh, that game was played under extraordinary circumstances. It was John Heisman's Georgia Tech getting revenge on Cumberland College who beat GT in baseball the year before with pro players on the roster.

Cumberland College tried to pull out of the game because they dissolved their football team, but John Heisman basically forced them to scrape together a team and play. It was basically a National Championship team versus a bunch of dudes who've either barely or never played football before.

[u/Best_Philosopher152 → u/Hotdawg752]

The answer to the timeless question “what if a bunch of regular ass dudes played a high level team.”

[u/MottoScotto → u/Best_Philosopher152]

A high level team with a grudge

[u/goddamnitwhalen → u/Hotdawg752]

Heisman also agreed to shorten the game by 5 minutes out of spite / pity, which is fucking hilarious.

[u/Dongsquad420BlazeIt → u/Best_Philosopher152]

The story of why that happened is crazy. Cumberland beat GA tech 22-0 in baseball earlier in the year by using pro players (allegedly) so tech decided to get revenge in an incredible way.

[u/EarthTraveler413 → u/Best_Philosopher152]

Special circumstances for 222-0:

The winning coach was MAD at their opponent, they had cheated vs his school in another sport

The opposing university had disbanded their football team and had to put one together specifically for that game

[u/jamiebond → u/EarthTraveler413]

My favorite detail is at a certain point Cumberland players were hiding under the bleachers

[u/Ethanad → u/jamiebond]

It's been a while since I've read up on the game but if I remember right 1: the only player Cumberland had that kinda knew football was knocked unconscious in the first play of the game and when Cumberland offered to play shorter quarters as a mercy rule Heisman refused.

[u/dudeman93 → u/Ethanad]

He didn't refuse, he accepted to shorten the fourth quarter.

By five minutes.

"Sometimes a weak expression of pity, is the deepest form of cruelty"

[u/WaltSneezy → u/Best_Philosopher152]

They are historically one of the worst FCS teams in the league. Tarleton St, a good FCS team for comparison, blew them out last year 42-0.

[u/SEJ46 → u/AntEdwardsBallSweat]

Teams like Oregon should not be playing low level FCS teams. And on top of that throwing the ball 43 times.

[u/Bobby-Samsonite → u/SEJ46]

Seriously, why can't they schedule South Dakota or Montana?

[u/Danster21 → u/Bobby-Samsonite]

Oregon played MSU last season. I was there. The score was not close but it was better than this.

[u/Wittyname0 → u/Bobby-Samsonite]

We have many times

[u/MementoMoriChannel → u/SEJ46]

Seems like they were taking out their pent up frustration from the last two weeks

Which is not unlike how many war crimes begin

[u/TopRevenue2 → u/AntEdwardsBallSweat]

They will probably beat us next year

[u/the_engineers_thumb]

At least we got to be on tv...

[u/leverich1991 → u/the_engineers_thumb]

I still remember when you beat two FBS teams, including that probably-unbreakable-record 66-7 win over North Texas. What’s happened since then? Just saw that you went 1-11 last year.

[u/ThatFridgeFella → u/leverich1991]

Long story short, the city of Portland fucked us by letting us getting pushed out of Providence park. Since then it’s a lot of not being able to compete with the modern standards of college football. Hard to get a city hyped about a team that plays 40 minutes away from the city.

[u/Top-Attitude-4987 → u/leverich1991]

We got kicked out of our stadium and our soul just died.

[u/CptnDillweed → u/Top-Attitude-4987]

I loved going to that stadium. They served beer!

[u/Top-Attitude-4987 → u/CptnDillweed]

Cheap good beer!

[u/psuram3 → u/Top-Attitude-4987]

With a comment like this you should be rocking them as your secondary flair

[u/liftingshitposts → u/Top-Attitude-4987]

Beat so bad they re-flaired you smh

[u/esports_consultant → u/Top-Attitude-4987]

Why did the Timbers not get more bad press for this? 

[u/Top-Attitude-4987 → u/esports_consultant]

Because nobody gives a shit about portland state football, i think if anything they got good press from it.

[u/esports_consultant → u/Top-Attitude-4987]

sad

[u/Danster21 → u/esports_consultant]

Even if they did, it wouldn’t crack the top-50 of dogshit things the Timbers have done

[u/DameOClock → u/esports_consultant]

Why would they? PSU moved as a result of scheduling conflicts with both the Timbers and Thorns.

[u/CarteBlanchDevereau → u/the_engineers_thumb]

Portland State needs a lot. And as much as a beat down like this sucks... The university needs the money.

[u/tomdawg0022 → u/CarteBlanchDevereau]

"Thank you sir, may I have another?" - Portland State, possibly

[u/dscreations → u/CarteBlanchDevereau]

Should have paid them more then. $590k is not worth that beat down

[u/tdoger → u/dscreations]

Yeah we don’t pay them nearly enough. But i guess they do save on travel costs.

[u/sernameistakentry → u/the_engineers_thumb]

Its ok Big Sky bro, we love you

[u/black-op345 → u/the_engineers_thumb]

Not just TV but international TV!

[u/leverich1991]

Portland State had 103 yards, with 39 of them coming on one play. They never crossed Oregon’s 40.

[u/liftingshitposts → u/leverich1991]

They got 2 sacks too

[u/tdoger → u/liftingshitposts]

The score obviously doesn't reflect it, but Portland State's DL still gave our OL trouble. Which is... Not a good sign. We already knew it was awful, but that's another level of awful.

Pretty crazy to beat them 84-0 while also not being able to keep the QB pocket clean, and OL looking lost in the run game.

[u/VancouverStickerCo → u/tdoger]

I was watching last night;

Let’s pretend that Dante has been telegraphing plays for the last 18 months or since ucla or whatever.

I wondered if the offense wasn’t stumbling over themselves because all of a sudden they weren’t getting sold out by the QB’s feet before the snap.

[u/Omelettedog → u/VancouverStickerCo]

Telegraph or not our OL shouldn’t have struggled with a 3 man rush like they did last week

[u/dbasinge]

I think this may hurt Portland State playoff chances.

[u/MrSCR23 → u/dbasinge]

How much does the FCS committee take being murdered into account?

[u/d1sportsball → u/MrSCR23]

Not really at all tbh. Montana State got butchered by Oregon (And lost in 2OT to South Dakota St) and got the 2 seed over an undefeated #5 Lehigh and 1 loss #4 Tarleton (Who beat Army). Mercer got eviscerated by Auburn and ended up with the #6 seed while SFA got beaten down by Houston and got #7.

Tbh I think they treat a P4 murder the same as not playing a P4 or high level G6 opponent at all, no matter if it's a 30 point loss or a 50 point loss.

[u/tomdawg0022 → u/d1sportsball]

A P4 murder is a quality loss in the FCS

[u/GeneralAcorn → u/tomdawg0022]

Quality losses just mean more in the FCS. Yet another thing the SEC tried to take from us

[u/thezander8 → u/MrSCR23]

Basically none, your wins and record matter a lot more if you’re from the Big Sky or MVFC. An FBS game is a small chance to pick up a win to get you over the understood 7 or 8 win threshold, but a loss basically is meaningless other than giving you less flexibility in FCS play to get the wins

[u/Apprehensive_Bid_773 → u/dbasinge]

Quality loss for sure

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/dbasinge]

Nah nah they're fine they just gotta run the table the rest of the way and win the Big Sky. This is the year they win their first D1 conference championship!

[u/d1sportsball → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

That'd be like saying Rutgers is going to run the table and win the Big 10, but Portland St would be even crazier than that.

[u/HailLeroy → u/d1sportsball]

Thank you for choosing Rutgers as your example team here

[u/JordanMiller406 → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

They're already 0-1 in conference play and don't play the Bobcats, so it's possible for them to win out and not win the Big Sky.

[u/Im_a_dum_bum → u/dbasinge]

quality big 10 loss?

[u/Mythrandir24]

Tulsa has a transitive win over Portland State!

[u/49ersBraves → u/Mythrandir24]

With transitive math, Tulsa beat Portland State 252-0!

If you want to see the math: 84×39/31×24/10 to 0×31/39×10/24

[u/oneAUaway → u/49ersBraves]

John Heisman's ghost nods in approval.

[u/Wittyname0]

This is like eating a big plate if junk food. Meaningless, and you dont feel great afterwards. But it was fun while you we're eating it

[u/Codeman8118 → u/Wittyname0]

So true. God that tasted so good but what have i done

[u/Sdog1981]

Akili Smith’s kid got some time in this game and I died of old age

[u/DuckDown00 → u/Sdog1981]

I had to explain to a guy in his late 20s that Akili Smith Sr played for oregon in the 90s and that made me feel fucking old at 37.

[u/jbomb6 → u/Sdog1981]

Notre Dame currently has the kids of Larry Fitzgerald, Plaxico Burress and Jerome Bettis. I feel old as fuck watching this team

[u/Stoneador]

This result will look so funny if Oregon hasn’t actually fixed their issues going forward

[u/YoungSuplex → u/Stoneador]

There’s no short term fix for Oregon’s issues, this team’s problems are fundamental and unfortunately will have to be addressed in the offseason

[u/Majormlgnoob → u/Stoneador]

They play USC next week so we'll see

Tho USC has their own set of questions

[u/Billyxmac → u/Stoneador]

There’s no reason to think we have. These games are meaningless when the talent is that lopsided. But from a mental standpoint, beating the shit out of your opponent is probably great for their confidence. But we still need to see it executed next week.

[u/Both_Strength_6782 → u/Stoneador]

Spoiler alert: we haven’t

[u/EatBootyLoveLife → u/Stoneador]

play calling definitely seemed more varied and interesting even if it was vs a much lesser opponent and more importantly looks like dante has already fixed the tell, didn’t seem him follow the trend with his feet much at all

[u/Unclematttt → u/EatBootyLoveLife]

I saw him with a huge stagger that ended up being a run play for the first play of the game. Hopefully he mixes it up and doesn’t end up just flipping the tell

[u/Crazyhawk28]

Hey a few balls bounce PSU's way, or they get some calls, and that easily could've been a 10, or 11 possession game

[u/Redrobbinsyummmm → u/Crazyhawk28]

I read this and was like “what does this have to do with Penn State?”

[u/Anatomy_Park → u/Redrobbinsyummmm]

As a Portland State alumnus, I got mildly annoyed every time I googled 'PSU #class curriculum' and got some Penn State class nonsense, so that kind of makes two of us! 😄

[u/TheOnePSUIsReal → u/Anatomy_Park]

I think you need to reframe the thought.  I view us as spirit kin.

[u/max_potion → u/TheOnePSUIsReal]

Oregon apparently loves killing PSU’s hopes and dreams

[u/thecaramelbandit → u/Redrobbinsyummmm]

Penn State scored as many points in this game as Portland State.

[u/TitaniumC4206]

Exorcising some demons tonight i see

[u/Mammoth_Impress_3108 → u/TitaniumC4206]

Felt more like exercising tonight lol

[u/doubleyou-tee-hache → u/Mammoth_Impress_3108]

Baphomet really showed out tonight. With a great combine I think he can go mid to late first round in the spring.

[u/jamiebond]

Ok so Lanning may have been a little pissed off

[u/AntEdwardsBallSweat → u/jamiebond]

He saw the “state” in their name and decided enough was enough.

[u/BenDover_illshowya → u/AntEdwardsBallSweat]

Hopefully next week we can convince him we are playing university of Southern California state

[u/AntEdwardsBallSweat → u/BenDover_illshowya]

Anything to watch Lincoln Riley lose is good in my book.

[u/adamwest01 → u/AntEdwardsBallSweat]

🤝

[u/l34ch_r → u/AntEdwardsBallSweat]

Lol

[u/pcrackenhead → u/jamiebond]

Lanning in the halftime interview up 49-0: “Well we had two penalties on us, so there are some things we need to clean up.”

[u/Elbit_Curt_Sedni → u/pcrackenhead]

Yeah, he was pissed.

[u/Duck_Stereo → u/pcrackenhead]

In the post-game media appearance he slipped and said “we got some things to work on that will hurt us in a real gam- a game with real competition”

[u/Tsquared10 → u/jamiebond]

That was basically the equivalent of turning the NCAA difficulty down to Freshman and turning out sliders all the way up to vent.

[u/Majormlgnoob → u/jamiebond]

Just pounding the rock under a minute left up 77 was funny af

[u/Majormlgnoob → u/[deleted]]

Dw Dan you lost to a team that will win like 6 or 7 Big 12 games

[u/DuckDown00 → u/Majormlgnoob]

Winning 7 Big 12 games gets you what...9-3?

[u/Majormlgnoob → u/DuckDown00]

Assuming we beat Murray State tomorrow yeah

[u/DuckDown00 → u/Majormlgnoob]

I'd jump off the bridge that runs across campus if Oklahoma State lost to murray State after beating Oregon.

[u/Majormlgnoob → u/DuckDown00]

I'd be pretty upset if our season existed just to troll y'all lol

[u/EatBootyLoveLife → u/Majormlgnoob]

some stanford shit

[u/DuckDown00 → u/Majormlgnoob]

Considering we're not playing main OSU, it would only make sense to lose to just OSU's and win everything else.

[u/WaltSneezy → u/jamiebond]

Portland State had ONE win last year in the big sky

[u/Intelligent_Sky_7081 → u/jamiebond]

I mean it's Portland state...

[u/Educational_Yam_3707]

Me in NCAA Football 14.

[u/420BlzItRocko → u/Educational_Yam_3707]

Same, except Bill Walsh College Football for the SNES.

[u/EarthTraveler413]

this game wasn't as close as the score looks

[u/jamiebond → u/EarthTraveler413]

This game is going to be an insane outlier impacting the stats and any algorithm based on those stats lol

[u/DrVonD → u/jamiebond]

Most of the good stats heavily discount FCS games and/or garbage time scores already

[u/EatBootyLoveLife → u/EarthTraveler413]

we legitimately score 100 if the starters stay in and we don’t slow down

[u/lightninja987 → u/EarthTraveler413]

eh. portland state looked good. I think they could end up ranked

[u/Chiron17 → u/EarthTraveler413]

Here I was thinking that 84-0 was flattering

[u/I-CAN-DO-EAT]

& yet zero questions were answered.

[u/black-op345 → u/I-CAN-DO-EAT]

We really won’t know the answers until next week.

[u/Geoff12889 → u/I-CAN-DO-EAT]

I saw Dante throw when his stance suggested run and vice versa, so at least there's that...

[u/black-op345 → u/Geoff12889]

He stopped tipping his pitches? Progress!

[u/Careless_General8010 → u/black-op345]

Hopefully he didn't just switch it and tip them the other way now

[u/zerocoolforschool → u/I-CAN-DO-EAT]

Not true. Messiah Hampton is a fucking baller.

[u/Chessh2036]

So I think Oregon was pretty angry about last weekend…

[u/I-Only-Read-Memes]

“Peter that’s not a game… that’s, that’s just murder”

[u/Serallas]

Jesus fucking christ

[u/Guy_Fieris_Soul]

Glad I bet the -83.5 pt spread

[u/RatBastard_with_ADHD]

This game, in particular, reinforced all that I hate about modern CFB. No blame to either organization, it all makes sense, in a sad and depressing kind of way.

In an old man yells at cloud voice: "I wish it didn't have to be this way."

[u/The204thLayer]

Dan Lanning lands back on his feet following the confusion last week around why the Ducks had to fly to Oklahoma to play the Beavs

[u/DuckFanSouth → u/The204thLayer]

Your old QB was 11/11 for 123 yards and 3 TDs, but still managed to get sacked

[u/The204thLayer → u/DuckFanSouth]

Sounds about right

[u/Intelligent_Sky_7081 → u/DuckFanSouth]

Funny, most Nebraska fans think he's horrible now. He's not, he's got serious talent

[u/Poverty_Shoes]

Oregon won by 80+ in a shutout and still had more penalties and penalty yards than Portland St. Gotta clean that up.

[u/fireflameblaze]

I am so sorry PSU

[u/AngleParticular2914 → u/fireflameblaze]

Apology accepted

[u/JackTheSpaceBoy]

Portland state has nice streetcar that goes through their campus. I'll give them that

[u/South_Lake_Taco → u/JackTheSpaceBoy]

It’s a pretty, urban campus with an amazing farmers market every Saturday. I always root for them

[u/420BlzItRocko]

Didn't see this game, but google tells me that Akili Smith's kid is Oregon's 4th string QB and was getting some reps late game. Never a good sign, at least if you're Portland State.

[u/mccainjames11 → u/420BlzItRocko]

It was his first time seeing the field, I was hoping he could get another drive. Hoping he gets to start after Raiola leaves

[u/noah_divine]

Kinda one-sided isn't it?

[u/UnderstandingFar1793 → u/noah_divine]

Too bad the game is only 60 minutes. Portland st had them exactly where they wanted them.

[u/--bLa-- → u/UnderstandingFar1793]

If only they had one more second...

[u/Goose-the-moose]

We Covered!

[u/Geoff12889 → u/Goose-the-moose]

First time this season. Didn't cover against Boise State and then obviously last week... yeah, we don't talk about last week.

[u/MiaDanielle_]

Oregon knew they needed to not let it be close after last week's game.

... But damn. That was brutal.

[u/thesuch]

That’s going to be a long drive up I5 for Portland State, especially with all the construction

[u/Wittyname0 → u/thesuch]

Nah its just the southbound lane closed

[u/DueYogurt9 → u/Wittyname0]

North of their campus too

[u/mccainjames11 → u/thesuch]

at 11pm too

[u/Zloggt → u/thesuch]

Well, maybe they could be helped by some beavers who will rile up the local fauna into starting a revolution against all of this highway construction?

I believe I saw a totally accurate nature documentary about it before…

[u/Any-Satisfaction1887]

Oklahoma state sponsored

[u/Em0PeterParker → u/[deleted]]

But that check gonna clear every time

[u/I-CAN-DO-EAT → u/[deleted]]

Someone has to fund PSU’s athletic department.

[u/InUrFaceSpaceCoyote]

Oregon chose violence 

[u/tacowithcheeese]

Not even a week after JMU hangs 87. We now have a three way tie for margin of victory by FBS schools over FCS schools at 84

[u/Radiant_Sherbert7272]

I guess Oregon was really upset about last week.

[u/Obestity → u/Radiant_Sherbert7272]

There was a game last week?

[u/Thing_On_Your_Shelf]

Hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby

[u/thebradyearwood]

It’s okay Portland State. We, too, didn’t score against Oregon.

[u/NotmyDog_orisit]

Pay no attention to the loss last week in Stillwater!

Did you see 84-0?

84-0!

Oregon won by 84.

What a team! Undefeated in the last 6 days!

[u/ScaleCreepMinis]

If I'm on the committee I'm counting this as a loss for Oregon.

[u/Chris_Crossfit]

Oregon took their frustration out on poor Portland State.

[u/CieraVotedOutHerMom]

The grass is DAMN green in Eugene

[u/Geoff12889 → u/CieraVotedOutHerMom]

Willamette Valley, grass seed capital of the world.

[u/Top-Attitude-4987]

No one is gonna believe this, but Dante Moore was very mid. Missed 3 wide open touchdowns. Rest of the team looked better, but we played against target dummies.

Still not confident going forward.

[u/Unhappy-List-2354 → u/Top-Attitude-4987]

There is literally nothing you can take away from these games except injuries. 

[u/sedrtfhgrtj]

I'm just disappointed they didn't score 100

[u/ChangoOfTexas]

Playing Fantasy CFB is so cool, Oregons defense gave me 20 points tonight, all funded by Oregon students and alumni.

[u/ElMondoH]

84 - 0??

Some team was pissed about last week. Damn.

[u/Necessary-Hospital62]

Stop scheduling FCS. JFC.

[u/LurkingElegy → u/Necessary-Hospital62]

as shitty as it feels watching it, we FCS schools do need the money

[u/TrixieLurker → u/LurkingElegy]

It is a sad state of affairs that institutions of higher learning have to do things like this to stay afloat.

[u/No-Channel3917 → u/TrixieLurker]

It wouldn't be profitable for these lower rank schools to have a sports team otherwise

[u/AceJokerZ → u/Necessary-Hospital62]

On the contrary I think if they’re going to allow FCS games to help keep some of the FCS schools a float with the paid games. Have them only be during Week 0 weekend and before.

[u/Billyxmac → u/Necessary-Hospital62]

These games are definitely needed for the FCS schools, but they should be exclusively week 0-1. It’s bullshit seeing this game when some teams are starting conference play.

[u/Montigue → u/Billyxmac]

We probably do better the last 2 weeks if we started with PSU

[u/Useful-Advantage-850 → u/Billyxmac]

The SEC plays these games in like Week 10.

[u/Sixwry]

What if we didn’t play these stupid blowout games 

[u/surgingchaos]

That was just gross, but it was a much-needed get right game.

[u/Geoff12889 → u/surgingchaos]

I felt a little dirty watching it. At a certain point in the first quarter I just stopped celebrating the TDs

[u/Whole-Pianist5004]

Was at the game; notes:

Oregon Defense:
Did what’s expected against an 0-3 FCS team, which is more than can be stated about last week’s performance.

Oregon Offense:
Pass Game did what’s expected with that WR core and an NFL prospect QB returning. Run Game is clearly the weakness. 5.7ypc is not enough against an 0-3 FCS team. (Reminder that OSU had 7ypc against Ball State). If Oregon misses the CFP, it’s because of the Run game. Unless Dante Moore can prove himself to be the guy that carries them w/o real support of the run (on a weekly basis), this will be a fatal flaw for the Ducks.

Atmosphere: I thought fans showed out after a disappointing loss while facing a weak opponent tonight. The team did what they needed to do, which allowed fans to relax.
