Had Adams stayed healthy and Frost simply coached that one final game (as he ethically should have done,) Oregon woulda won that game hands-down. Ridiculous.
Can we say something about how good the announcing was on this game? I watched this game live till it was over on the west coast, like 12 or 1 am. One of the great PAC 12 of recent history.
seems like yesterday I was watching this game!! time flies! crazy to think we went from CFP material too a sloppy program in a matter of a year but we stuck through it for a few years and now we are back in 2020 ranked 15!
Great call by the refs on that last Oregon TD and great catch by Addison. He possessed the ball the moment it touched his hands and he was dragging that right toe.
Die hard duck fan here, and I gotta say idk about that call. The only way I could see that not being overturned is if their argument was that his heel was down prior to stepping on the line. Either way it was a great game. Sometimes calls go your way, and we'll have to remember this the next time one doesn't go our way.
That is the argument, and is what the replay shows. The key is Addison instantly possessing the ball when it was caught. It doesn't juggle around at all. You can freeze it and clearly see the ball in his hands, his right toe dragging, his lrft toe in the air, and his left heel firmly planted on green turf. This is even good in the NFL.
If you notice on the 3OT controversial touchdown, the heel comes down before the ball of the foot and the heel is definitely in. He had possession when his heel came down.
That's tough. Personally, to me, that looks like a blown call. He just didn't have the ball long enough between heel-to-toe transition for it to be counted as possesion. Idk though, I'm no professional.
+Fuzzy Winklez well his heel was down before his toe with possession and it is true that his toe was out. BUT. His right toe was in on the ground in the ends one before his left toe goes down. In nfl that wouldn't be a touchdown. But in college it is.
It was 2nd and 5 on that play. Had it been overturned, and the way Oregon was playing........pretty sure they would have scored anyway. Besides, ASU threw a pick to end the game.
anyone notice that when we switched to the duck and O logo for a few years we started having bad seasons and then when we switched back to wings a few years ago we got real Oregon football back! its like we didn't want to embarrass ourselves playing terribly in the OG wing design so we changed for a few years rebuilding and then came back even better
Vernon Adam's woulda had even more an amazing season had he not gotten hurt..it woulda been cool to see where the ducks coulda ended up with a healthy VA...
Oregon barely beat an aweful ASU team, so glade ESPN is not crawling eith the Duck bandwagon anymore and their lame jokes and their non national title having team.
+Aries Strong Your spelling and grammar skills are brutally "aweful". So "glade" you're not a Duck fan. Thank you for your time, I'll let you get back to first grade.
+Aries Strong Yes but too bad they are all over that high school QB level throwing SECs nuts. Awful conference. Bama,LSU,and FLorida are good. The rest trash. But then again LSU has an RB that is their entire team and we all saw what happens when they actually play a complete team. BLOWN OUT. Then Florida cant even score 10 points on a Vandy team that got shut out 34-0 to Houston. HOUSTON FFS! But somehow they are still "The best conference in the nation" only because of that SEC/ESPN contract. Big12 is weak AF too. TCU got dominated so their undefeated record was obviously because the lack of good teams on their schedule.
Tyler Jacob yea, a USC team, with a bunch of freshmen, 13 injured players, interem HC, you tell me what team would have had a National Title Season with those oddd against them? If you know anything about football you would know that USC winning 8 games with the odds they were facing was outstanding. Let's see how Oregon would have played had they not had a 5th year QB transfer, let's see how Oregon would have played with their actual system QB that has been there longer with the program, Vernon Adams was a product of Eastern WA and natural talent, not Oregon. Let's see what Oregon does this coming season against a USC team that finally has depth after 6 seasons of not having it. You stupid duck fans can say what you guys want, it literally cannot touch USC, Oregon benefited from a sanctioned USC team, how else does a team like Oregon that could barely pull up a 10 win season every year or even play for a BCS bowl, and when USC got hammered and Oregon started to win. This has been Oregons best 6 seasons in program history, and still NO NATIONAL TITLE. And I don't care how bad SC has been, we never EVER gave up a 31 point half time lead to only LOSE lol.
