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

[Codaxx]

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

I am more amazed that was a winning performance. I thought Taylor played better and could of won the offensive MVP award. It’s pretty simple. If Oregon played reasonably on offense the cruise to the win. Only reason it was a game was because of how shitty the Oregon offense was. If you are giving out the game MVP give it to someone on the defense

Any offensive player who scored 3 rushing TDs was going to win the OMVP.

Also the Illinoise game never happened

Not sure why you think that I would consider Oregon a game where we beat ourselves, but not the Illinois game. We completely melted down that game. At least Oregon's constant pressure was the reason for our mistakes today. The Illinois game was just a choke.

Oregon press conference:

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.

It's hard to argue his success, but sometimes it seems he gets too conservative.

The switch to the fly sweeps was an excellent tactical change. But then they started throwing again, surprisingly.

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

Agreed:
Interception - QB was hit as he released it. I guess he could have taken the sack.
Fumble #1 - Dye reached in and stripped the ball out. I guess he should of had both arms around the ball and been tackled a few yards back.
Fumble #2 - Brady Breeze put helmet on the ball and forced it out. I guess the WR could have went down the second he caught the ball.
Punt Fumble - Kick looked like it was going to be blocked anyway.

I admit I have homer goggles on, but all 4 TO’s were forced. Oregon’s TO was a stupid play call and bad judgment by Herbert.

You do realize that Herbert ran for three touchdowns, don't you?

1 too many fly sweeps is all tonight.

Yeah, that seemed like a good move. I think next year is when Wisconsin moves to more of a throwing team. With JT, you could tun the ball more to establish a throwing game. I think next year that flips.

9 carries for 29 yards, big fvckin deal.

3 TDs.

The season is done. The bitter taste of defeat will linger...until tomorrow or so. The abyss is getting nearer. This season, as a Wisconsin fan, had a lot of ebb and flow, ups and downs, but it has been one of the more enjoyable years for me as a fan.

Hope to see y'all in Pasadena next year.

Unlikely that either of our teams makes the playoff, so probably not.

Three rushing touchdowns is "a big fucking deal".

How many TD's did Taylor have today?

 

[Codaxx]

How many TD's did Taylor have today?

that just completely ignores any context. A short yardage back can get 3 TDs and that doesn’t make him great. Stop pretending a QB with 169 yards had a good day. Oregon’s offense was terrible all day.

 

[JuiceTheGator]

Oh wellski....maybe the Juice Family Reunion at the Florida v. UW bowl game will happen next year.

Apparently the Oregon's offense and defense

Apparently that was good enough to win the game today.

Apparently that was good enough to win the game today.

it was because the defense, special teams, and Wisconsin’s general fuckery, not because he played well
