It's our second podcast and there's plenty to talk about. We'll recap last week's Stanford game and bring in jtlight from SBNation's excellent Oregon Ducks website, Addicted to Quack to answer some questions on this week's opponent. Have any comments or questions? Let us know here.
The podcast will be available to listen to live at 6:30 pm PDT and we will be on both the talkshoe chatroom and here on this open thread so you can send it in questions or comments and we'll do our best to work them into the show. If you can't get in here at 6:30 pm PDT, you can listen to the podcast whenever you'd like afterwards either by clicking play on the widget above or on iTunes, where we will post the podcast so you can take a piece on BN with you on your iPod. Last week's podcast is on iTunes, but takes about a day for ITunes to approve the podcast so tomorrow's will be available there by Wednesday evening.
We're still working on this and looking to get better so let us know what you think and what can be improved. We want this podcast to appeal to what it is you guys want from your UCLA podcast.

I’d love to hear JT’s description on the running style of these two backs. Haven’t really had the chance to zero in on their games last 2-3 weeks when they have made their biggest stride.
You ask and you shall receive
Definitely up on our lists, we’ll continue to accept questions just like this.
There's no one in the world that wants to beat UCLA more than _______.
Price vs. Viney
Considering Price’s abysmal performance against Stanford, does Viney get the start this week? How does whoever start match up against Oregon’s RB & QB? Seems the ATV side is solid. Also, how about the Safeties? Rahim expected to be back?
Good question
I have yet to hear an update on Moore though, I think the 24 hour rule is still in action though
There's no one in the world that wants to beat UCLA more than _______.
Rye - one point about Stanfords ypc
their numbers were impacted a bit by our tackles for losses late in the first half.
Guys - if you are checking the threads
Ask JT about which Oregon youngsters he is most excited about (on offense)?
I didn’t get to talk about him much, but another turning point for Oregon was when they decided, hey, why don’t we throw the ball to Ed Dickson every single time.
The Ducks did not adjust well in the BSU game, and have not had to adjust on offense since then. If UCLA can take away some aspects of Oregon’s game (Ed Dickson, bubble screens, etc.), it will be very interesting to see how Oregon responds.

sorry jt
totally forgot about your best player!

No worries. There’s only so much that you can cover, and your questions were great.

JT - how is Malachi Lewis doing?
I see he has couple of catches this year and got some action in last two games. How does his future look at Oregon? I have been following his career for a while thanks to family/friend connections via Mrs. N. He is a great kid.
I always thought that he’d break out, but it hasn’t really happened. He is 3rd on the depth chart at tight end, though made a nice pass against Cal in mop-up duty.

Ya thanks for the participation
Hope to see you back next year

JT's answers on OL development ...
observations on how game complexion changes with Costa … simply awesome.
This was FREAKING OUTSTANDING.
All right
That was pretty awesome guys. Not saying it to be nice and supportive. But that was extremely informative and JT was really great.
My only tiny suggestion is to make sure you have your greeting and sign off scripted so you can make that transition just a little smoother. But that’s minor. This was great and I really enjoyed it. I know it is going to help frame my thoughts heading into game day.
Thanks Nes
Still working out the kinks, so great suggestion
There's no one in the world that wants to beat UCLA more than _______.
Yeah
We’re still working out the intros and endings. Because of my work and it being the playoffs, I’m short on time and we can’t devote as much time to practicing as we’d like, but we know it’s something we have to work on.

Yeah don't sweat it
I think also … it might be fun for you guys to talk about the BN power poll … because it might give you an excuse to talk about other Pac-10 teams really quickly and give you chance to hop around the league.
smart
We’ll try to work that in

More and more stuff to work in
At first, I thought it would be hard to talk for so long, but now that we’re doing it, it’s easy to talk and we end up having to cut stuff. We’ll see if we can work in some of the other Pac-10 teams. Really, if we wanted to talk about everything we wanted, which I’d love to do, it would run an hour to 90 minutes. We should work in some other Pac-10 talk though.

LOL
I think you should talk about what you think will be FUN for you. Don’t worry about us as much. It’s obvious to me you guys love talking about the game and all the strategery that goes around it.
Again what you did today was very information (even though I respectfully disagree with some takes on the QB issue … but that’s all over and done with for this week).
Can’t wait till the podcast next week. I will see if I can listen in live if not definitely will make sure to listen to the whole thing later.
The problem is it's all fun for me
How do you cut what you want to talk about? If I talked about everything that was fun, it would be a 2 hour show.

Length
What do you guys thinks about the length? Longer? We kinda ran over again, so was that tolerable?
There's no one in the world that wants to beat UCLA more than _______.
I didn't keep track of the time
I think it was fine because you guys were talking about game related issues I was interested in. It was great to hear two experts talking up UCLA football with so much depth and substance compared to the blowhards we often have to deal with on TV (I don’t bother with radio any more).
can we get this on blackberries?
Work prevents me frm having an iPhone, but I would love to hear this. Sounds like a great show.

A little side note for about the 34-minute mark...
You began to talk about the three plays Oregon will run in the zone read, but a small correction I feel would be helpful to make would be that Oregon does indeed run three main types of option play out of this basic zone read package. You were right with the first two (triple option with a wide receiver, conventional zone read), but Oregon in the Chip Kelly era, since ’07 that is, has run the traditional speed option that those NCAA 360 fanboys beat to death about a grand total of twice. I think Chip Kelly values the element of deception and misdirection over beat-them-to-the-corner speed and pitchmen – which I must say I agree with.
The third type of play we will run out of that formation is the marmalade to our bread and butter. It’s what can only be described as a zone read + bubble screen. Masoli (should he play) will make the read. If he keeps it, he will scamper a couple feet and make another read on the cornerback, checking to see if he is staying honest or crashing in to make a stop on Masoli. In the event of crashing in on him, Masoli will toss the ball out to the wide receiver near the sideline (typically this is Maehl, for some reason.) It’s another sort of triple option that spreads the length of the field. It’s scary when we run it well, but it’s also pretty tough to get right. We’ve only seen it a handful of times this year. I would not be surprised to see Costa run this play. This is one play I do not think will fall out of the playbook in the scenario Costa starts. Costa being a smart and veteran player should have no problem making these reads, and it could help in negating hits he takes.

Thanks man
Good to know, I was basing my knowledge off of last year’s game where I saw plenty of speed option in the highlights, again just assumptions, so thanks for the info

Interesting.
I don’t recall much of that game save for Masoli having a Pat White gameplan, which I was sick and tired of.
