The Ducks won't lose with Dennis Dixon. He doesn't have to be 100% for the Ducks to win. FYI, USC has had a lot of injuries but so has Oregon so I don't think it's fair to say they got lucky.

If he cant cut and they make him run around, he'll just hurt himself again.

Dennis Dixon has a torn ACL. He's out for the year. What a blow for him and the rest of his team. I remember Kellen Clemens breaking his ankle at Arizona in '05 and he was also having an exceptional year as were the Ducks.

Fuck you, Arizona.

He doesn't have to run for the Ducks to be successful.

OH. MY. GOD.

They can kiss the Rose Bowl goodbye.

Dixon and the Ducks didn't deserve this.

The Heisman race is officially over, IMO.

Well, at least I'll have the memories of Oregon's scUM and USC games.

I was absolutely sick for the kid when he was so visibly upset. I wouldn't wish that on anyone outside of AA.

That said if you remember your Cosby Kids from Fat Albert he looked like Weird Harold wearing Bills blue hat with the ear flaps.

Oregon Coach Belotti's decision to play Dixon being heavily questioned, along with his lack of a "Plan B" for what to do if Dixon went down.

Canzano - The Oregonian

T he head football coach at the University of Oregon could have blamed his blind spot when it comes to ACL injuries on greed. Or pressure from influential boosters.
Mike Bellotti could have just said that sending a spread-option quarterback into a football game with a torn ACL was a terrible decision, one that he'd rethink given another opportunity.
If he wanted to make sense of this for the rest of us, Bellotti could have said he made a mistake. Or that he got bad advice. Or that he realized he'd never get this close to another national championship and had so many people telling him he had to start Dennis Dixon, that he didn't stop to realize that there's more than football at stake here.

Instead, Bellotti said of the Dixon decision: "I took myself out of it." Then, during a weekly conference call, he snapped at one Ducks beat reporter who asked a question about university responsibility. Then, after being second-guessed about the decision, Bellotti threatened, as apparent punishment, that he'd alter policy and not discuss injuries anymore.
So I have just one question for the rest of us today:
Would you let this guy coach your kid?

There is more of the same on Canzano's blog ...

Canzano's a douche. He's just looking for a story that's not there. If you want to blame someone, blame the doctors who cleared him. From what I've heard, Bellotti never pressured Dennis to play. He said it was up to Dennis, the doctors, and his family. They were fine with it so he played. It turned out to be a big mistake but to play the name game is futile.
