Beat the Ducks!!!

Becky and I plan to drive up into the Smokies in the morning to check out some of the fall foliage. It's really our last chance to see the high-elevation colors near their peak, since I fly out to Denver on Sunday and next weekend the mountains will presumably be past peak. So I'm sacrificing ESPN GameDay and the Rutgers-West Virginia game for the sake of a pretty drive. I know, I'm such a martyr. :)

I hope to be back by 3:00 PM for the USC-Oregon game, but I don't have too much confidence that that will happen; I imagine traffic in the Smokies will be heavy, as I doubt we're the only people with this idea for a Saturday morning/afternoon activity. Anyway, we're TiVoing the game, and if we get back late, I'll be taking a pre-Deathly Hallows-esque vow of Internet avoidance from 3:00 on, in order to maintain the suspense when I fire up the TiVo and pretend I'm watching the game live. So, if I don't blog anything for a while, that's why.

FIGHT ON TROJANS! BEAT THE DUCKS!

I figured since it is on Fox Sports that it'd be regional and you wouldn't be able to see it anyway. But I guess you can?

Have fun in the Smokies, I wish we had more time to spend there, it was nice.

I wish they'd just kicked the FG on that first drive to get something...

I disagree, it was the right decision to go for it on 4th down. The problem was the playcall -- absolutely atrocious emptying the backfield and doing an end-around with a freshman who currently leads the team with lost yards. And they let that call affect them by not going for it on 4th down later in the first half, instead punting, and the Ducks drove all the way back for a FG. Lame.
