Ducks could lose out the regular season. Go Beavs.

Penix torched the Ducks for 408 yards. 26 of 35 for 74%. He leads the nation in passing yards. He has gotten very little respect from people throughout the season. But he's making believers out of a lot of people especially how easily he passed Oregon silly in this game. His arm strength is off the charts. Check out that last touchdown throw again. From the opposite hash marks to the sideline between the corner and the safety. Impeccable throw, the kind you don't see that often at any level. Of course, he's benefiting from a terrific offensive line that gives him all day to throw. Ducks couldn't get close to him. They could not stop him. Washington is getting better, especially on defense each week. Players are finally healthy. They will be tough to beat the rest of the way. Wouldn't be surprised to see the Ducks finish with three losses.

Credit to the U. Penix and his band of recivers was too much today. Oregon will be fine. Still heaps to play for. Now is when Coach earns his money.

That was fully on the coaches for screwing around in the first half, and the Nix sneak in the 2nd half. They were young and cocky and it bit them. It didn't help that every time the defense would actually make a play they would get cocky and celebrate.

That defense is appalling. Expected it from Lupoi. Wondering about Lanning, as the UGA defense has been tremendous before, during, and after his time there. It does seem to take a season or two for the defense to learn the scheme, so hoping next year is better.

My Dawgs doing their part to making Oregon vs Washington again the most heated rivalry west of the Mississippi.

Oregon has had their way with us since 1994 and The Pick. They have fielded superior teams and, minus USC, have the most recognizable brand of any school in the West. Thank you Uncle Phil!

Perhaps, we will replay “The Slip”, thank you Noah Whittington, before every home game for the next 30 years.

I certainly don’t believe that the UW seismic shift will come anywhere near to The Pick but it is a significant victory in our program’s history.

A victory that this middle aged Husky will relish for a long time. WOOF!

The Ducks and Huskies game, which I watched until the OSU game started, showed me the Beavs have a very good chance to beat the Ducks at home on Nov. 26. The Beavs have one of the best defenses, if not the best, in the Pac 12. I also watched the Beavs lead the Huskies, in Seattle, all game last week. The Beavs defense stuffed Washington for most of the game just as they did against Cal last night. It is a game they should have won, against one of the best QBs in the country, on the road. OSU will have the Ducks at home and OSU is very tough to beat at Reser. I am going to the ASU game next Saturday expecting a Beavs win. And I expect a Civil War win on Nov. 26 and for the Beavs to end the year at 9-3, tied with Oregon for record and ahead for bowl game quality by lieu of a head to head win.

One thing is clear. If Nix is not 100%, it's time to give Butterfield an opportunity. Thompson is

not "the guy". For whatever reason, he is not getting it done. He certainly has the athleticism, but

appears to lack football-smarts? The defense isn't going to miraculously improve by next week. It could be a long game against Utah.

whattagame! Instant Classic, for sure

called it - Bow Down. Ducks didn’t lose; they were beaten by the better team

in spite of not being able to tackle, Washington did what was necessary to get the W (sorry) in a brutal environment

GO DAWGS

This one's on me; I have been suggesting a "Left Coast Ivy League", never thinking the Ducks would play like Columbia today. And as I write this UCLA is staggering around the Rose Bowl. And USC didn't look so hot early last night. C'mon, Man!

No offense Quack fans, but we at Cal had our fill of Tosh Lupoi when he was there. In fact, when he departed from the Jeff Tedford womb (must be why the UO coach grabbed him since he is Fresnose State fellow) most of us breathed a really big sigh of relief...but hey, he is all yours now, just as we are stuck with your Justin Wilcox down here...you should pay Justin to come back as the D coordinator and we can hire Troy Taylor...works for me!

Heck of a game from the opening kickoff until the clock hit zero. Great offenses, very leaky defenses….but Oregon should have won it. They got away with that mindless 4th down gamble late in the first half with little upside and huge consequences had they not made it….then they got stupid AGAIN late and it bIt them in the ass. It’s a fine line between aggressive and reckless and the coaching staff crossed it tonight.

Hindsight is 20/20. A Dawg win in Eugene? Priceless!
