    The Flock Pod #175 "Ohio St Breakdown and Purdue Preview"

    #175 #3 Oregon 32 #2 Ohio St 31 Gameday was awesome. McAfee was hilarious and the Duck continues to win. Oregon fan makes 100k field goal Game script went almost exactly how I predicted  Catch that should have been a pick on first drive. Bassa rips it’s away before Kazmerik has possession. Should have been a pick for sure. Leads to opening TD.  Harmon ripping the ball away from Judkins for a fumble. Hunt the ball, Harmon didn’t even go for the tackle. Jordan James rips off a huge run after to set the tone. Then scores on the next play.  Autzen creates multiple false start penalties  Missed FG from 44… oi vei sappington  Evan Stewart breaks out. Poncho has a bad snap and the next play Stewart hits a double move. 2 plays later he’s catching a fade route for a TD. 4 catches for 109 1 TD yards 2 minutes into the 2nd quarter.  Onside kick. Just like the scene from the replacements, where’s my bitch. Boyle kicks it straight at the upman for osu and Oregon recovers. Saleapaga recovers it.  Traeshon Holden spits on OSU defender. Ejected with 11:31 left. Dan Lanning immediately talks to him on the sideline, confirms that he did spin on him, gives him a pat on the butt.  Tez gets going with a big TD on 3rd and 9, second big play on OSU corner Denzel Burke. Oregon retakes the lead heading into the half. 22-21   Half Ohio St fans in bathroom “by far the loudest stadium I’ve ever been in” Big 4th & 1 call around midfield. TE drag route off play action to TFerg for a chunk play. Leads to another 4th down attempt, Oregon comes up short on 4th & 2.2 straight throws to Herbert, didn’t love that. Tez was wide open.  Love the aggression from Dan. 22-28 Legit nervous at this point in Autzen.  3rd & 3, Will Howard misplays the snap and OSU has to punt.  Nervousness gone.  JJ huge blitz pickup. So awesome. Next play, DG keeps for a 27 yd TD scamper. 29-28 Oregon stuffed on the goal line trying to run behind Conerly. Sappington FG puts Oregon ahead 32-31 with 1:47 left.  Matayo with the big sack to start the drive.  Yes it was OPI, obvious push off from Jeremiah Smith.  Ryan Day missed the fact that the game clock was running.  12th man penalty  Ohio St fans melting down on Twitter Will Howard slides to end the game  Matayo…and the whole DLine . Wow what a game. 19 yards rushing allowed in 2nd half.  Conerly and the whole OLine, unreal game. DG barely bothered all day long. Only 2 TFLs allowed Nitpick- Redzone offense needs to be better.  OSU hasn’t given up 100 yd rusher or receiver, gave up both to Oregon.  Oregon ran through Ohio Sts face. 8 plays over 25 yards. Over 500 yards of total offense.  Gee Scott stats 3 for 46, two of those receptions were on 3rd downs Ducks vs Them Jab jab jab … knockout. Perfect metaphor from Dan this week.  Top 5 sporting event Ive ever been too Oregon solidified itself as a Big 10 championship and National championship contender.  On to Purdue  1-5, 0-3 in conf  #2 Oregon -28.5 o/u 58.5 @ Purdue  Friday Night at 8pm  Is West Lafayette the Big10 Pullman? Weird things happen there at night.  Purdue changed QB (Ryan Browne) and OCs going into the Illinois game and played much better.  Lost in OT 49-50  Browne ran for 118 yards on 17 carries while throwing for 297 and 3 TDs.  Purdue was down 27-3 in the 3rd quarter and battled back vs Illinois. Should have won the game on a late fumble by Illinois QB Luke Altmeyer,  but they called him down. Game never should have gone to OT. Went for 2 after the first TD in OT and Illinois wins on a sack.  Ducks must have a spy on Browne and control him in the running game. Devon Jackson and Bryce Boettcher must have big games.  DG must avoid a letdown and have zero turnovers. Do not give Purdue any life.  Purdue defense giving up over 9 yards per pass, ranked 128th in the country.  Will Purdue be able to bounce back emotionally to keep this game close? This is the same team that had players out drinking before Oregon St… they just lost a heartbreaker and have the #2 in the country coming to town. Do they fight or do they roll over. Purdue could lose this game in the first quarter.  Oregon wins if They start strong and minimize mistakes.  Oregon loses if  West Lafayette is the Pullman of the Big10, chaos and shenanigans ensue.  Prediction Oregon 48 Purdue 13 Oregon 40 Purdue 9 Last Take  Moving sucks

    The Flock Pod #174 "Michigan St Breakdown and Ohio St Preview"

    #174 Oregon handles Michigan St 31-10 Defense once again dominant  Struggle on first drive but the forced a fumble on the goaline  5 sacks, lots of pressures (Burch with 2.5 himself)  Only gave up 250 yards total Held Spartans to 2/11 on 3rd down  Offense still has work to do  Gabriel throws two RZ picks  First one was his fault, second one was on Will Stein Finishes 20/32 257 yds 2 TDs, 1 rushing TD, 2 picks  Jordan James has a great day 24 166 1 TD  Oregon now 5-0 and ranked 3rd in the AP Poll  Ohio St #2 5-0 Oregon +3.5 O/U 53.5 via ESPN BET 4:30 at Autzen Stadium, TV- NBC College Gameday in Eugene, one of their favorite locations. Who should be the guest picker ?  Ty Burrell?  Joey Harrington?  Buckeyes coming off a 35-7 victory over Iowa Oregon DLine will best tested against a quality OLine Oregon has the 6th best pressure rate in the country  Secondary will need to play disciplined and aggressive  Need to force Will Howard to make mistakes with pressure and confusion and keep the ball out of Jeremiah Smith and Emeka Egbukas hands How much does Will Howard run the ball?  Cannot allow Ohio St to get the running game going with Quinshon Judkins and Treyveon Henderson  OLine must keep DG clean and clear holes for JJ DG needs to play mistake free football, no turnovers  Feed Jordan early and often to open up the passing game and get some explosives Evan Stewart, Trasehon Holden and Terrance Ferguson will be key in this game as Ohio St will try and take Tez away.  Keep the ball away from Caleb Downs  Oregon wins if… Ducks win the battle of the trenches and get a few explosive plays on offense. Autzen must make a difference Oregon loses if … Ohio St is able to run the ball, play their style and control the game.  Autzen noise and Oregon front 7 will be the difference in the game.  Predictions  Oregon 34 Ohio St 31 Jessie Oregon 38 Ohio St 33 Herbert vs Nix on Sunday in the afternoon window Nix has looked better the last two weeks. Herbert still has no oline or weapons. Chargers -3 I would take the Broncos and the points Lynx vs Liberty Thursday night 5pm Lynx 3-1 vs Liberty this season Last Take Playoff baseball is awesome and I'm a sad Mariners fan.

    The Flock Pod #172 "UCLA Preview, Pac 2 vs Mountain West & Uber Stories"

    #172 First Big 10 Conference game…. Against UCLA (1-2)  8pm kickoff @ The Rose Bowl Oregon -24 OU 55.5 Lone win was against Hawaii 16-13 Lost to Indiana 42-13 at home  Lost to LSU 34-17 on the road (looked good in first half) Injuries?  Bedford had “a setback” in practice during the bye week. Jahlil Florence still not ready to go  Familiar Foes Moliki Matavao at TE Bryan Addison at Safety Harmon and Caldwell could wreck this game Garbers has struggled under pressure this year (4 ints) and UCLAs OLine has struggled up the middle.  UO secondary vs UCLA WRs Ducks will need to tackle well to avoid explosive plays vs players like J. Michael Sturdivant Gabriel could feast on a depleted UCLA secondary if the OLine gives him the time to do so. DB Kanye Clark suffered a season ending injury.  UCLA was already allowing 295.3 yards per game in the air, which has them ranked 128th in D-1 DB Devin Kirkwood will need to have a big game for UCLA. Ducks OLine will need to stop DT Jay Toia from causing havoc in the backfield.  Prediction Oregon 45 - 13  Ducks of a Feather release “What the Duck” Nike Dunk lows in collab with GOAT & Fight Club A limited number of pairs will be available in person at Flight Club locations in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and Tokyo on Saturday, October 5. The shoes will also be available exclusively on GOAT.com and the GOAT App starting on October 11. Pac 12 vs Mountain West The Pac-12 is suing the Mountain West over what it calls an unlawful and unenforceable “poaching penalty” that could cost the rebuilding conference more than $40 million for adding Boise State, Fresno State, Colorado State and San Diego State, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court. Utah St has also agreed to join, putting UNLV in a position to be the swing school in this latest round of conference realignment. Memphis has said no to joining the Pac12 and will remain in the American Conference.  A merger would be the best outcome for College Football. Pro Ducks Buccaneers 7 Broncos 26 Bo Nix 25/36 216 9 carries 41 yds 1 TD Bucky Irving 9 carries 70, 3 rec 14yds JPJ 21 snaps, 1 pressure  Herbert left game in a walking boot Purdue Uber Story Yes, it's true… Last Take Oklahoma has benched Sophomore Jackson Arnold for true Freshmen Michael Hawkins Jr. Venables also had some unprompted comments on how DG left saying “I didnt know I even had to fight this fight, I didn’t realize you (gabriel) was even considering coming back.” , DG responded with “Im right where I need to be”

    The Flock Pod #170 "Boise St Recap & Platypus Cup Preview

    #170 Oregon Survives & Platypus Cup Preview DG takes a lot of the responsibility in Postgame interviews. When asked about boos “it’s FEBU” Oregon only averages 3.0 ypc vs a bad BSU defense. OLine gives up 4 sacks and 7 TFLs.  Explosives and Special Teams save the day Fumbles and lack of 3rd down conversions (3/14) put game in jeopardy.   9 penalties… Platypus Cup Preview Oregon -14 o/u 50.5 via ESPN BET OSU 2-0 38-15 over Idaho St 21-0 over SDSU on the road  237 rushing yards vs the Aztecs Jam Griffin & Anthony Hankerson each get 16+ carries Gevani McCoy 15/25 for 160 yards Gabarri Johnson comes in at the end of the game and goes 2/2.  Oregon wins if… They win in the trenches.  Oregon needs better OLine play to unlock explosive plays in the run game, which will make DGs job a lot easier. The DLine needs to get more penetration to get early contact on ball carriers. Oregon St wins if… They win in the trenches. Beavs undersized DLine could give Oregon trouble upfront OLine needs to clear lanes for Griffin and Hankerson. Predictions Oregon 42 Oregon St 17 Bo Nix makes NFL Debut 26/42 138 2 INTs  It did not look good Bucky Irving makes NFL Debut 9 carries for 62 yards, 2 recs for 14 yards Last Take
