whats the status of oregons o line for ucla game?

The preseason all American is out all season.

Preseason all conference Tackle is day to day. I say he is going to play @ UCLA.

The all american's young but very good backup is due back for Cal game Oct 24.

At that point offense will be back to full speed.

These online injuries have not only put Mariota in danger. But also have drastically slowed down Oregon's big weapon... Pace.

They are getting no lanes to run in either. So combine no offensive tempo that is typical of Oregon teams, no running lanes, and Mariota not able to have time in pocket equals a difficult game to win every time out til they are back.

Next two games we Duck fans are hoping at least Fisher is back. It will be close games that Mariota will have to will Oregon to wins if they expect Ws.

Well he can do it, I certainly believe that.

He'll need help though from the D and eliminating those penalties.

I had Oregon losing this game at the start of the season, I still think they do but UCLA isn't exactly living up to expectations either.

I think whoever had the better coaching this week is going to win.

It should be a great battle, and one that gameday would have gone to if not for the letdowns.

Who wants it more??? PACS getting real!!!

DayMan, Oly, and Sting all forgot to list the tiebreaker score for this weeks pick'em.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE ALL READING IT CLOSELY. Won't impact your yearly points so it's not that big, but you can't win the week in a tie if you don't have that listed.

All those prop bets confused me.

Oregon 28 UCLA 21

Shoot, hopefully SC isn't in the situation where they just have to stop a Hail Mary from the 50 yard line to win the game against Cal. SC isn't very good at that, Wilcox Idea of dropping 1 line backer to the middle of the field while all of the DBs scatter doesn't quite seem like the appropriate defense in that situation.

Yeah, I'd have liked to see him send Pullard as a 4th rusher to try and pressure the qb and let the db's and OLB's handle defending the pass.

Pullard looked like the only one back there with a play on the ball though. He's a great LB but he shouldn't be the lone defender on a Hail Marry with 7 seconds left. Maybe I should watch the replay since I haven't looked at it again since seeing it once.

I agree. But he also defended it like a middle linebacker.:lol:

Bottom line, they f'ed it up no matter who was back there. Like I said awhile back, that's where we really missed Josh Shaw.

I actually saw someone put Wilcox on the hotseat @ Conquest Chronicles this week. :shocked:

It aint easy pleasing the talking heads down there...lol...

What?? We're an easy to please crowd - just win and no questions asked. :suds: Not like the Washington faithful were kind and reassuring to Nick Holt.

But seriously I'd hate the life of an assistant coach. Team underperforms and you get fired, rightly or wrongly, HCs and ADs like to make it look like they're being proactive.

I don't know that defended is the right word though, maybe he was more of a consciences objector. :scratch:

Yeah the cougs just fired their ST coordinator who was at one time called the best in the biz, long time friend of Leach as well.

Not sure it was the right call, maybe this year, but I think he's done alright at wsu prior to this season. Someones got to take the heat I guess, and he's been in a hot mess this season for sure.

It wasn't your typical Hail Mary. SC still had to defend against a quick pass to the sideline that would have put ASU in field goal range.

Of course we wouldn't be talking about this if the DB had just batted the ball down instead of acting like he was trying to field a punt.

Helfrich is 3-3 in past 6 PAC games

yeah. Saw that a few days ago.

Does he wind up on the hotseat if he has a losing record after the UCLA game? Already seen some ducks overreacting and throwing him under the bus, another loss might really irk some people.

People need to keep it in perspective. Chip Kelly ain't walking through that door.

I know. We all wanted this continue. But the ebbs and flows of cfb.

Oregon isn't done, but it may not be what it was.
