Game Thread: Rose Bowl: #6 OREGON DUCKS (11-2) vs #8 wisconsin badgers (10-3) 8PM Est ESPN

You aren't gonna win a lot of games in a power run offense with four turnovers. It's as simple as that. I miss 2010 and 2011, when we had the fewest turnovers in the country.

That said, this was supposed to be a down year. And even in that supposed down year, the only two teams to beat us were an insanely good OSU team and ourselves. That is pretty promising for us if we ever get an offense that doesn't best itself.

You misspelled OREGON.

Taylor didn't do shit...did you even watch the game?

If you take out the two holds that didn't help him out at all, he had like 180 total yards. That we consider that a down game speaks to his ability.

 

[michaeljordan_fan]

We'll probably lose 5-6 starters off this team. Looking at the roster it is a pretty young team and there are a couple of redshirts in place. Replacing JT, if he leaves, will be the toughest.

Have to think he leaves as a 1st rd rb. Just too much risk not to go.

Why would you take out the 2 holds? Those plays didn't count.

Yeah, I remember the Big Ten Media Day when we were picked 3rd or 4th in the division

Better at what, winning the game?

its offensive MVP.. 167 yards is a terrible day for a QB.. not to mention 0 passing TDs and an Int.. it’s an amazingly shitty performance for a MVP

3 rushing TDs. It doesn't matter what his position is.

I don't have much doubt he leaves, but there will be no RBs taken in the 1st round.

No Oregon beat you today. Oregon's defense caused those turnover.

He's deserving of it...probably #20-32

Go Ducks!! Great way to end a career, Herby!!

No doubt, but in today's NFL, RBs are discounted. Nobody is giving a 5 year contract to an RB.

There are exceptions (Barkley, Elliott, etc.)

So who would you have given the MVP of the Rose Bowl to?

 

[Smart]

You misspelled OREGON.

You guys are a good team* that kept it close enough for our mistakes to cost us the game, but you aren't the reason for the dropped punt or the terrible interception. None of that is to take anything away from you. Execution is part of football. My point is that for all our supposed lack of athleticism, that's not what's costing us games. Our issues are fixable.

*And that means "you guys" in the sense of your players on the field. If not for your injuries, you are probably in the playoff. You all have just as bright of a future as we do.

He claims Taylor...but he's a dumbass.

boy that was a joke…consin was a great team to watch, thought your coach changed on the fly w/ his play calling, had oregon on their heels all 2nd half.

Outside of the punt...all of the turnovers were FORCED. They weren't gifted.

Also the Illinoise game never happened

Yes.
