College Football Kickoff (UO/BSU) Open Thread

PrintFinally, we made it. 237 days without College Football ends today. The season begins with a doubleheader on ESPN. At 4:00 PM the Gamecocks of South Carolina take on the NC State Wolfpack. Then, at 7:15 Oregon will take on the Boise State Broncos on the Smurf Turf.
UPDATE by Jake, 8:52 pm: First half in the books in Boise, with Oregon coming through with 0 first downs and 14 total yards on offense. Boise State, by comparison, has 15 first downs and 185 total yards. Still, the Broncos are only up by thirteen points on the scoreboard, and there's still an entire half to play. See you in the thread for second half chatter.
Feel free to leave all of your comments on the games here.
Go Beavs!

Great game credit boise st
Beaver fans please dont take this the wrong way but why do you root against uo dont you want the pac10 to look good? Please no comments about blount. Should be kicked off the team! We know that hes a loser thug etc.

FTD!
No seriously when it comes to the ducks I could care less about the Pac-10. I will root for every other Pac-10 school (even the huskies) when they play other conferences, but NEVER for the hated ducks! I was born and raised in Corvallis and hating the ducks (and hating the beavs for life long duck fans) is just a basic state of life :)

anyone is welcome to come over to ATQ and comment about the game in the open thread…well, as long as you keep it Civil. ;)

Autzen Stadium is where great teams go to die." - J. Brady McCullough, The Michigan Daily.
Two 3 & punts not how the Ducks wanted to start!
But how big a missed chance for Boise St. is driving 94 yards, only to fumble twice and push a field goal wide!
So far, its about which team doesn’t do something to win the game.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
And another makable field goal pushed wide right!
Nearly 10 minutes more time of possession, keeping the Oregon offense off the field, but Boise has nothing to show for totally dominating the game so far.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
Three three and punts!
The Chip Kelly offense is MIA for the first third of the game.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
And finally, Boise 8-0!
The Duck defense has been on the field for around 18 minutes already! It will be interesting to see how much gas they have in the tank; they looked whipped on the TD and the two point conversion.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
And ESPN is interviewing Belotti!
Who knew the second guessing would come 1 hour into the Kelly era?
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
Boise stalls, but the punt
pins the Ducks at their own 4. The Broncos mounted a drive from their; can Oregon?
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
Nope. Sasfety Broncos,
and the weary Duck defense will have to come right back out, after 1 play!
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
The way it sounded for months
someone might have got the impression that Masoli was the best QB in the world
Brotzman finally hits a field goal
for a 13-0 lead. The Duck defense isn’t the problem; it should be a 4 score lead. Not sure I’d blame Masoli all that much either; it’s the Duck offensive line that isn’t getting anything done.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
They couldn't open holes for Blount at all in that half

Ducks finally get a first down,
but then another punt, and it’s all Broncos! But it should be a much bigger lead; two plays erase it all. The Ducks were last in DI in time of possession last year, but I doubt the Ducks have ever been minus 20 minutes on time of possession in the first half.
The notion that the Broncos are not physical enough to play in the Pac-10 should be permanently dispelled by now.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
Nope still no first downs!!!!
DUCKS SUCK!!!
Go Broncs!

UO is lucky
that the score isn’t worse.
There’s still hope for Paris, but damn, I hope Coach Riley and Co are watching this game closely.
I'm sure that's a pretty safe bet

No, not so much.
The Duck fans in Bronco Stadium look uncomfortable.

Boise has run 42 more plays than Oregon, taking the lead to 19-0
and yes, it was TJ Ward who went down. Ward was the Ducks’ leading tackler last season.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
It seems like this is the point where the Ducks realize they are in blue hell
The crowd isn’t going away, Boise State’s defense isn’t going away, and the turf is still blue.
--JB--

And another 3 and punt for the Ducks!
Failing on the 2 point conversion may not even hurt the Broncos.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
Nah, just the equivalent of kicking two extra points
…just more interesting

Finally, a three and punt by the Broncos.
Ducks need points, and they need them now. The failed conversion negates the safety; we will see if that winds up mattering.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
Masoli scores, and Blount the conversion, 19-8 with over 19 minutes left,
with a fly sweep the key play of the drive. Long way to go.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
Two first downs, but a Bronco fumble!
And the Ducks have the break they need.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
Way to punch them back in the mouth...
Talk about a huge interception.

But Aaron Tevis intercepts Masoli!
And the Broncos gain ground and clock on the deal!
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
Another messed up field goal,
and the Broncos can not deliver the knockout punch. This one was on the snapper, not the kicker.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
And a 27 yard pass play ends the third quarter with the Ducks driving.
Boise St. should have this one on ice by now, that’s at least 14 points squandered that the Ducks had nothing to do with.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
But the Ducks fumble!
I think I said earlier the game would be lost, not won.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
Even Bob Davies has noticed
that “This has been a sloppy football game.” Not a particularly good job by the WAC crew either. Morale of the story, it isn’t easy to be 100% in week one.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
Blount blunted. But still over 11 minutes left.
Plenty of time for someone to be the hero.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
i'm glad we have Quizz
much better than “Blount -2 yards on 4th and 1”
"Put your drawers on, and take your gun off."
Huge 25 yard completion out to midfield with 10 minutes left.
Kellen Moore has been making plays when needed all his life.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
Ducks force a punt, but yet another 3 & punt.
Masoli has been scrambling for his life most of the night. With 7:21 left, a drive would come close to closing the door on the Ducks.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
Huge 4th down here

And, the BSU linebacker comes through with a great open field tackle...
Now, the Broncos just need to hang on to the ball!

A first down or two would help,
What would a 2 score margin be worth about now?
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
Ducks get a break when Moore loses the ball
even though his arm went forward, and yet another mis-call on a mishap mars the game.
Nearly a pick on the next play, and then Masoli tries to take on two Broncos. He won’t last 12 more games if he tries that often. Sacked to bring up fourth down & 13, with the clock down to 5 :20.
The Ducks go, come up short, and Boise takes over with 5 minutes to kill.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
In 4:20, everyone.
The trips to Fresno St. & La. Tech will be huge for them, and a number of other BCS teams searching for at large berths. Note also Utah won big tonight; the Utes are not an afterthought yet either.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
First down with 4 minutes left.
ESPN has correctly noted Justin Wilcox has done a great job tonight as the defensive coordinator for the Broncos against his alma mater.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
Another rushing first down, with 3:30 left.
Broncos didn’t take the Ducks to the woodshed, they took them to the stump grinder.
And the Over-rated chant starts as we wind down to 2:40.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
Anyone worth their salt
in the last week saw this finish. Now how are the green and yellow fans going to spin it?
Not sure we will hear much from them.

Under a 30 seconds left when the Ducks get it back,
but they need 2 scores.
It will be very quiet in Eugene tomorrow morning!
Moore is named the Player of the Game, and the Broncos have won 19-8.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
That thud sound
normally associated with a Goose being shot, is the sound of a Duck hitting down from flying very high.
And so Blount decides to throw a punch, and the police are taking him away.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
There will be no spinning this one
that anyone will buy.
It will be interesting in the morning to listen to 95.5 the Duck Blazer, and hear CIP (which stands for Chad Is Pathetic) embarrass himself trying to deal with this one.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
yep
I will try and tune in to wheels at work to see what they say.
"Put your drawers on, and take your gun off."
Wheels will be calm and professional
The morning crew will be a completely different matter.
Blount might be watching the Purdue game.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
you don't think he's done?

It will be interesting to see how the Pac-10 responds.
The new commissioner was there tonight, and that brawl won’t be what he wants in the effort to improve the Pac-10’s image.
I suspect they will wait to see what the Ducks do, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen something like that in/after a Pac-10 game. And they will want to make sure it doesn’t happen again soon. They don’t like to see touchdowns celebrated as being too emotionally charged. It will be very interesting for everyone to see how this shakes out.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
I wouldn't be surprised
if that is the last we ever see of him. How embarrassing for the Ducks and the Pac 10. Its one thing to hit an opponent. But he hit one of his own players and then proceeded to go after the fans only to be held back by security which he proceeded to hit one of them. Goodbye buddy start getting ready for the NFL if anyone will actually take you now.
No, those were basketball players
I don’t think handing Blount a weapon would be a very good idea just now.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
Great way to start the year
Now off to hear the Duck fans excuses on the postgame show.
Hi, my name's Connor and I am addicted to College Football
Boise 10 of 20 on third down, Oregon 1 of 10.
Mike Jorgenson correctly noted that is usually a good stat, and if you didn’t see or hear the game, but were given that stat, and maybe 42+ minutes possession for Boise, 17+ for Oregon, you wouldn’t be surprised by the outcome.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
TJ Ward update
Ankle in a boot, and he cannot put weight on what is termed a sprain. Figure him out, possibly until Pac-10 play starts, or more.
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
I will credit Jerry Allen
He said “Give credit where it is due. Boise came to play, and earned the win.”
I suspect others will have more colorful perspectives.

Now Chip gets to find out what being a head coach is all about.
Xs & Os aren’t the only thing he has to worry about now!
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
he's the guy who recruited him
now he must own up to it
"Put your drawers on, and take your gun off."
The Oregon crew found out
what the Beavers, and Fresno St., knows, that Boise is a very tough place to play. They couldn’t believe the noise and the atmosphere could approach what Autzen, and some other large venues, produce, but they now have experienced proof that it can impact the players and the game.
Anyone think Oregon, or many other BCS schools, will be calling up to schedule a trip there now?
Andy Wooldridge
Go Beavs!
Rodgers, I believe
Taylor Kavanaugh will be in the mix there, but he just doesn’t have the speed. he has the hands, though.

i was thinking it would be kavanaugh
hoping it would be wheaton/parker/rodgers.
"Put your drawers on, and take your gun off."
Nice Job Boise State!
Blount will be suspended for sure, but that is probably a blessing in disguise for the ducks because he looked TERRIBLE in the game, SUPER sloooooooooow.
Masoli looks like he needs to go back to 5th sting, and do they even have any recievers???
Go M's
Don't throw Masoli out yet
But yeah, their recievers do need to some hands.
