I would argue the 2012 team was better. Essentially a touchdown that should have been ruled incomplete robbed Oregon of a conference title and possible national title
Even with the Arizona loss on Thursday night had DD not got hurt they would have only had 1 loss and took LSUs spot vs OSU for the title and DD would have had a tight ass Heisman race with Tebow.
I live in Eugene, we were in the conversation for a national championship that year w/ Dixon and Stewart. Dennis' injury @ AZ was absolutely soul crushing. He was the nicest guy too, a gentleman. Go Ducks!🦆
Interview up now before Mich. game where Verone McKinnley interviews Johnthan Stewart who talks about this game, and the feeling of going to the Big House, and the Statute of Liberty play. The Flock. Good segment. Watching again for memories sake.
That Oregon team was actually so stacked with talent. Dixon at QB, Jonathan Stewart and Jeremiah Johnson at RB, Ed Dickson at TE, the whole secondary absolutely stacked. Enough talent to win it all if injuries didn’t derail their season
Excellent OL and WRs. Even the DL had some dudes. Only relatively weak group was LBs. Oregon has maybe had deeper teams since then. But this was the best group of 1s they've ever had.
Wow, how’d you forget about Jaison Williams (when he decided to catch the ball), Paysinger, Patrick Chung, James Finley, Unger (Pro Bowler), Schwartz, Colvin, Byrd, Derrick Jones…and there was a player on the team named Tschirgi. Lol
that Oregon team was absolutely stacked with talent, could of should of won a national championship. are you kidding me with that backfield? Jeremiah Johnson, Jonathan Stewart and Dennis Dixon! put those three on the team today and they would totally destroy the conference.
This was my first ever Oregon football game. I live in Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh. I was in 8th grade and my family got 4 tickets for this game. I've been a Duck fan since 2001 when they had Joey Harrington and played in the Fiesta Bowl against Colorado. I got my picture taken with the Duck. We were hoping to just see the Ducks score because they had never scored in the previous trips to Michigan Stadium. Oregon played so well that game and that season until Dixon got hurt in the game at Arizona. I think this game that people were starting to talk about the Ducks nationally. Go Ducks!!!!
This WAS a big time statement game. I remember it very well because it was on national television against a major top school and they kicked Michigans butt. Now in 2022, this is the type of team Oregon wants to be like.
@@michaelhegyan7464 yea we pull your five star players out of your state as well, Dante Moore, and he’s just our backup. You should try to keep your kids in state…
Mich season ticket holder here, that game was strange cause we had just come off the Appalachian State loss the week before. The cameras dont show it well but the stadium was almost completely empty after half. After this game Michigan beat Notre Dame 38-0 the very next week and didn't lose again until the Ohio St. game. 2007 season was wild 😂
I grew up in Oregon and Michigan was my family's school. They showed the end of the Michigan game on the video board at the Duck game during warmups. It was the worst-case scenario, Oregon didn't get the shine they should have coming out of Ann Arbor; it was a good team that had a bad start and went on to beat Florida and Heisman-winning Tebow. I don't think we even knew how good Oregon was for a few more weeks because of the perception after the app state game.
I’m a Michigan fan and I couldn’t help but laugh in the 2nd half. I was amazed and watched to see many points the ducks were going to score. This was one of the games that set Michigan back a decade.
The 2007 college football season as a kid was when I was introduced to college football. I remember I happened to catch this game on tv and was introduced to the statue of liberty play this game by Dennis Dixon.
I was living in Portland at that time and wasn't interested in Duck football until I watched this game at Dixon's BBQ on Alberta...turns out the owner is Dennis' uncle. I was watching these SoL plays and was blown away at the execution of that and other plays. I've been a big fan ever since. RIP Ryan Mallett
To SixTen, I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics, Blazers, Ducks and Beavers fan. Graduate of Washington Huskies. Japanese-American and male. I love seeing teams in the state of Oregon do well, and win championships, because the fans are great and deserving. Hope I get to see an Oregon Ducks championship in my lifetime.
@@unappealingundesirable2826same here, buddy, same here.. I've been a fan since I was taken to home games as an infant in the late 80s. If I can see them get one national title, I will die a happy man 🙂🙃🙂
@@oregonsports3280 Heisman yes for sure, but I don't know about beating LSU or Ohio State. You saw what happened when Kelly's finesse teams faced them in 2010 and 2011.
@@dixonmixin10 This was a more talented team before Kelly started recruiting small, light guys and sending his OL to "speed school". For example, Jonathan Stewart was a way different dude than Lamichael James. Dixon was more talented and athletic than Darron Thomas. And LSU backed into a NC that year with 2 losses.
This was my second year living in Lubbock Texas home of a Texas Tech and first real year being a college football fan. Been a die hard duck ever since. That Arizona game that year hurt bad
It's crazy how Chad Henne was the leader in qb consecutive starts at 39, but now Gabriel has 49 starts, i believe? I hope he breaks every record he can, this year.. 🤞
I was at the big house with my friend Matthew Lee Printup (RIP) We was seated behind the goal post on that 4th and 2 when Dennis Dixon ran that Statue of Liberty play into the end zone. Great Player, bad day for Michigan Football in the big house, 07
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Japanese-American and male. Sonics, Blazers, Oregon Ducks and Oregon State Beavers fan. I love seeing teams in the state of Oregon do well, because they are underdogs, and have great deserving fans. And, as a Washington Huskies graduate, I HATE Michigan, too! I thought Oregon had NO chance to win this game, and I still remember sleeping in on that Saturday, hearing the update on the radio, that Oregon was BLOWING OUT Michigan, AT Michigan! And, that "Chad Henne got knocked out of the game." Where and when did Henne get knocked out of the game? Was he lying face down on the turf, in pain, unable to move?
I literally remember watching this game and being amazed at how good and fun this Oregon team was. They got all the way up to number 2 and lost Dixon late in the year. He stays healthy, this Oregon teams win it all and doesn’t go on a bad 3 game losing streak at the end of the year.
I'm a die hard Oregon State fan so I remember this game clearly. Flash forward to 2016 or so and I saw Dennis Dixon in some dive bar in downtown Portland at around midnight. I think he was still with the Steelers at the time. No one even recognized him besides me. It was a weird experience.
Crazy to think this was the start of michigans downfall, and the rise of the Oregon ducks. As a die hard Michigan fan, I remember this game very clearly, my first ever game at the big house 😂😂 to say the least as a 10 year old leaving the big house I left a huge Dixon fan, they would’ve won the natty that year if he doesn’t get hurt. Go blue!
This Oregon team was absolutely nasty that year. I remember after that year was when it seemed like people all over the country were becoming Duck fans.
Best Oregon team ever. Until Dixon got injured. That hurt

The entire football world was shocked by how far that team fell without Dixon at the end. O'l Barney Fife just could not play the game.
7:52, scripted perfectly following the Statue of Liberty earlier!
Go Ducks
Michigan hasn't beaten an Oregon in 50 years!
2023 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 〽️ 🌹 🏆 Oregon has never won a natty
An asterick, you guys cheated
I wish we could sharpen up old games
Dixon was the greatest Duck QB to ever play the game
RIP this season with Dennis Dixon getting injured
This game. Dennis Dixon wasn't feeling well. Couldn't tell the way he played
I was at this game. This was a flat out embarrassment
That Duck team would have played in the National Championship that year if Dennis Dixon didn't get hurt.
If only…probably would have won the Natty that year! When Dixon went down our chances ran out.
Worst game I’ve ever experienced as a Michigan fan, I will never forget this. 🤣
If we could have another Dennis Dixon (no offense to Marcus), or Jeremiah Johnson, we would be dangerous. 🏈
They better run that statue of liberty play at Michigan this year
I'm from the future, they didn't

Oregon could’ve won the national championship this year if Dixon didn’t get injured. Burfict got him though
