The Wildcats allowed just 3.71 yards per carry and ranked 16th in the nation against the run. But they rarely saw a team like Oregon and Baylor, which runs the spread, ran all over them.

I think I see what you mean Duckfan. But I'm hoping this year it won't be an issue. I don't think it will. I think Oregon has a better defense, giving us an advantage over Kstate assuming we don't come out slow.

Aaron, What are the odds for the Ducks to be at full strength, injury wise for the Fiesta Bowl Game?
Monday December 3, 2012 12:08 Guest

Aaron Fentress: 
Oregon will have had six weeks to heal up so if they aren't healthy by then then they were never going to be healthy again this season (if that makes any linear sense).

I think it will be interesting when Oregon studies the Baylor game if we can take advantage as they did against KS. Baylor does not have a great defense, but they were successful

Our defense is way better then Baylor's, but Baylor did a fantastic job stopping KS quarterback. If Oregon can do the same.... Though, was surprised by how poorly we played offensively against Stanford. Aaron, do you think KS defense is as good or worst then Stanford's?

I mean...we're disappointed we lost to Stanford, sure. I was depressed all week! Haha. But, if we can't go to Nats then the Fiesta is easily the best matchup after. Certainly better than the Rosebowl vs. a Wisconsin team that isn't as good as last year's.

Aaron, what do you think our recruiting needs are for next year? DL? OL? We don't need WRs unless they can block....

How about the starter for 2013 RB, do you think Thomas is going to start or a Transferd player?

Duckyfan.... I see Tyner, Thomas and Marshall being a three-headed monster.

Tyner would be a great addition in the backfield

Backfield by committee Marshall, Williams, Tyner and DAT

[Comment From Nick in CONick in CO: ] 
Would be nice to see DAT lined up in the slot as a receiver again. With Marshall and Tyner in the backfield, we could have a nice thunder/lighting combo as is. All three of them on the field at the same time would be downright scary for anyone.

Aaron Fentress: 
LODuck... lol...UO skipped OL last year other than Long, so look for some bodies there. D-Line is pretty deep. I still think a top tier WR is in order.

65 underclassmen had their positive and negative effects on the field this last year; what Red shirt Freshman next year are you forward to watching Aaron?

DAT as a WR is great as long as he stays RB

[Comment From LODuckLODuck: ] 
Aaron, why do you think our kick return game sucks? Both the returns and the kickoff teams are horrible...is it schemes that we are messing up?
Monday December 3, 2012 12:41 LODuck
12:42
Aaron Fentress: 
LODuck ... It hasn't been good. Strange because special teams were great last season. That might be something we need to explore prior to the bowl game.

[Comment From Nick in CONick in CO: ] 
Speaking of top-tier WRs, if you'd have told me two years ago that we'd be in 2012 with Huff in the lineup and he wasn't spoken of as one of the greatest receivers in the country, and in UO history, I'd have been surprised. What happened?

[Comment From DucksRockDucksRock: ] 
Seastrunk is really doing good this year. I thought he left because he just could not crack our lineup and wanted playing time. Now I am wondering if his transfer was solely on the investigation.

[Comment From RgyleRgyle: ] 
Duckfan, think you meant (Dontre) Wilson, not Williams? 2013 Ducks will be very good indeed, barring injuries, regardless of Kelly or Helfrich at the helm (unless Ducks lose some top assts. and the continuity)
Monday December 3, 2012 12:45 Rgyle

Aaron Fentress: 
Game Day Duck ... if he knows trouble is coming why stay? if he gets UO into major trouble would UO fans forgive him? I know he'd hate the media even more after we got through with him.

I'm optimistic that the Ducks will at least improve the kicking and teams by bowl game. But yeah, I'm counting on the game NOT being decided by a field goal.
