Pac-10 Week 9 Notes and Observations: Oregon Ducks
Oregon Ducks 7-1 Overall (5-0 Conference)
This Week’s Score: Oregon 47 – USC 20
Next Week’s Opponent: @Stanford
I have been passionately following the Pac-10 conference for the last nine years, which coincides with the length of Pete Carroll’s tenure at USC thus far. In these last nine years, I have watched a lot of big games take place within the conference, and ‘SC has been involved in most of them.
After each game, a familiar thing would almost always happen: “Fight On” would be stuck in my head the next day. No matter how bad I fought it, I could never shake that familiar Trojan fight song playing over and over. Even an occasional USC loss (i.e. OSU 2006, 2008, Oregon, 2007) would not be enough to counteract the strong effect. After all, that band makes its presence felt no matter the venue and the Trojans have been in EVERY game until the very last play.
So what is the formula for ridding yourself of a “Fight On” hangover? Replace one fight song with another. After Saturday’s Halloween Trojan Massacre at Autzen, I subconsciously began to hum “Mighty Oregon” for the following 24 hours. It was a feeling that I never believed would be possible, but it happened because the often overpowering ‘SC band had basically been rendered useless.
Needless to say, Oregon’s win over ‘SC was quite the spectacle. The stats are truly unbelievable: 47 points (most allowed by USC since 1996), 613 yards of total offense for UO (most an ‘SC D has allowed since 1946). The dynamic duo of Jeremiah Masoli (222 passing yards 1 TD, 164 rushing yards 1 TD) and LaMichael James (183 rushing yards 1 TD) has never looked better, but I may have been even more impressed by an o-line that physically punished the ‘SC front seven. Four of the Trojans top six tacklers were defensive backs, and I believe that is one of the most telling stats of the game.
The other telling stat? USC only turned the ball over one time (at the very end of the game), which is a clear indicator of how thoroughly the Ducks dominated this one.
I also think Nick Aliotti deserves a ton of praise for Saturday’s outcome. Even though the UO offense is making all of the headlines (and deservedly so), the Ducks D attacked downhill all night and never allowed USC to get into a consistent rhythm.
While this is certainly a time to celebrate for Chip Kelly’s club, the party can’t last very long. Oregon travels to Palo Alto to face a very good Stanford team, and critical showdowns at Arizona (Pac-10 title game?) and in the Civil War finale still loom. The Ducks have a lead in the Pac-10, but they have by no means clinched the conference yet. Still, if Saturday is any indication of what is to come, the 2009 season will be one for the ages.

Just killing some in between class time on Digg and I found your post . Not normally what I like to learn about, but it was definitely worth my time. Thanks.
I really like your reading. I appreciate your effort, very informative and easy to understand.
Interesting website. Nice piece of info, have a nice day!
Nice website. Very helpful, very useful indeed…
What a good way to discuss
Very helpful info. Thanks, you describe the topic very well
In searching for sites related to web hosting and specifically comparison hosting linux plan web, your site came up.
You ought to seriously think about working on developing this website into a major authority in this market. You obviously have a grasp handle of the subjects everybody is searching for on this blog anyways and you could surely even make a buck or two off of some promotion. I would explore following recent topics and raising the amount of write ups you put up and I guarantee you’d begin seeing some amazing traffic in the near future. Just a thought, good luck in whatever you do!
I wish more people would write blogs like this that are really fun to read. With all the fluff floating around on the net, it is rare to read a blog like this instead.
I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you create this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz reply back as I’m looking to create my own blog and would like to know wheere u got this from. thanks
Hi, nice post. Really enjoyed it.
Hey just checked out your site, been looking around at a few websites but this post is one of the best I have seen. Great work!
Just found this site searching on google, good to finally read a good post about this. Good work! I also like the blog themes you are using, where can I download a copy of that from?
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
Interesting reading. Great post, I absolutely enjoy reading your post.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering should you get a great deal of spam comments? If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you are able to advise? I get so significantly lately it’s driving me mad so any assistance is really
Some part of me really feels sorry for Lindsay. I think things like this would happen to all of us if we went through a childhood like that.
I do not usually reply to blogposts but I’ sure will in this case. Seriously a big thumbs up for this 1!
