I dunno....Oregon's run defense looked pretty weak last week. If the D line doesn't step it up it could be a long day watching Petersen run wild.
Oregon has a tough schedule this year. 12 games, and they have to play the whole PAC-10. As in USC. They need to win this one. If they do, I hope it isn't like when they beat Michigan, with a total implosion afterward. If they win, somebody needs to make sure they stay off the cover of Sports Illustrated.

[Joe Schwab]

Hoo boy, I've got 35 yard line seats for this one! Dang near cost me a days pay but well worth it.

I love it when all the doubters come out with all their "qualifiers". They just can't bring themselves to go all out for the Ducks.

Oregon has a tough schedule this year. 12 games, and they have to play the whole PAC-10.

So, Oregon always plays a tough schedule. Bring em on!

[adiposessed]

i root for any team playing against the ducks!

[MacFish]

I think it's going to be a high scoring game, but the Ducks should come out on top. Autzen and the crowd are going to play a big part, but we're still the better team. GO DUCKS!!!!!!

[Fish Wheels]

I can't wait. Picking up the brew and food on the way home tonight. Should be a great game with the Ducks coming out on top against these guys for once. We just really need to control Peterson with a 150 yd game or under, and have Stewart back at full strength.... Go Ducks....

[Threemuch]

Weather my cyclones can beat them or not, a non-conference win for the Sooners will make my team look better. Sorry ducks. Better luck next time.

GOOOOOoooooooo Soooooooooners!

Should be a great game.

[freespool]

Good luck to the Fighting Ducks

It must get real depressing getting disappointed all the time? Is one thrill a season adequate?

[DanS]

The Ducks can win this one if they can control the ball......and they can control the ball with a solid rushing game.

The Sooner D isn't as good as in recent years, but they still have a very productive offense. Keep their offense off the field, and they're very beatable.

[Drachir]

We just returned from a Ducks/Sooners Pre-Game party. The word has it that Adrian Peterson has suffered a mild ankle sprain. This should make for some interesting stuff.

The Sooner Fans are AWESOME!!!

We will be there cheering on our DUCKS!!!

[Leatherneck]

You think it's going to be loud at Autzen, I can't wait to see how loud it's going to be in our chow hall here at Camp Phoenix in Kabul Afghanistan. It just so happens that the Oklahoma National Guard is deployed with us. Half of the chow hall Duck fans and the other Sooner fans. We have been at each others throats since this deployment began waiting for this game. If the ducks don't win this game, its going to be a long deployment.

[nitrobass]

Its impossible to describe the energy at Autzen for a game like this to anyone that hasnt been.

Partied hard with some Sooners last night and had a great time. Great folks, great fans, and great consumers of beer.

Go....Ducks....Go.......Ducks....Go.....

[Bucolic buffalo]

Just Say no! No is an OU sticker upside down and backwards. Try it and you will see. Go Ducks!

[scottishsetter]

Great game Ducks!!!
One of the best comebacks ever.
Calls go both ways, Ducks win.

Take back the game.....

[Dullhook]

This was a really exciting home and away series (plus the Holiday Bowl) between the Ducks and the Sooners with each team winning at home .

Now that Autzen Stadium has been expanded to seat 60,000, and with a winning program, Oregon will be able to draw more of the elite teams to play in Eugene. They've already scheduled Georgia and Kansas St. for future home and aways. Want more national recognition and blue-chip recruits? This will sure help. Great job U of O.!

GO DUCKS!

[Drachir]

What an amamzing ending 5 minutes in this game. The atmosphere in Autzen was way more than electric, it was just AWESOME IN AUTZEN!!

Bring on the SunDevils!!! :grin:

[1_Eyed_Jack]

ducks got a freebie, the onside kick call was one of the worst calls ever!

[lentz]

Listened to it on the radio. Went into a store when it was 20-30 and when i came out it was 33-34 and Oklahoma was getting ready to kick the field goal. It was definatly crazy in the final few minutes. My dad has season tickets and left when the Sooners kicked the field goal to go ahead by 13. They relized they should have stayed once they got into the car. They will probably never leave a game early again. GO DUCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Moan, moan!

You would think over the years, the Ducks never got a bad call. They got plenty! Good teams often get calls. Refs are not perfect. It looked like a good call from my seat on the 35. Of course we did not have the benefit of instant replay. If the Sooners could not put it away with 4 turnovers, then they did not deserve to win.


The most exciting game I ever attended at Autzen. I've never seen that much emotion in a game there. Well maybe the Washington game of years back.

I've never gotten hugged by so many young cute blondes in one day in my life! Everybody was huggging everybody!

I hope that call on the onside kick doesn't taint the rest of the season. I've already read that the PAC10 is reviewing that call and the pass interference call. If it becomes an issue, the Top 25 voters and the BCS will remember it at the end of the season. Kinda like Colorado and their infamous "fifth down" against Mizzou years ago.

[Valley-Boy]

Ohhhh man I was there.
An isle seat in section 38.
The visitor section is 39, those fans went from elated to stunned in 3.2 seconds.
Their fans are a defenite class act for shure.
24 hours later and I am still horse. :grin:

[bigwiz]

thats funny when its are team getting the call me agree but other teams we whine
