Liberty: “WE SCORED ON THE DUCKS! We’re good!”
Ducks: “We’re about to take all our Washington aggression on you now.”
Insert "and I took that personally" gif here...
Lmfao
Maybe if they played like this towards Washington they could have won 🤣
@@jayjayfool1996 Maybe next season.
@@jayjayfool1996 What I still don’t get is how a team like UW can score on Oregon like they did, but barely get past teams ASU 🤣
Props to Bo Nix for playing, as opposed to bowl-skipping! Props to Liberty going unbeaten in the regular season!
Except he didn't go unbeaten in the regular season.
@@billyyank5807 Correction: I meant Liberty.
Well, Liberty did play literally the weakest schedule in the FBS to do that.
@@pat2rome 13-0 is still no slouch!
@@pat2rome I don't understand these types of critiques. What schedule do you expect people to have? Alabama week 1, georgia week 2, michigan week 3, etc etc? I mean at some point we gotta be realistic about this "weak schedule" thing. You can only play who you play.
Putting a Conference USA team against Oregon is borderline cruel. Liberty is a growing program that was in the FCS not that long ago. My advice to Liberty is try to schedule teams like this in September. They have a lot to look forward to but it's healthier for a program to play these teams in the regular season as opposed to suddenly being exposed to them in January.
My thoughts exactly. I have no idea what deals happened behind the scenes to throw Liberty into a bowl game against a top 10 team like this. It isn't a good thing for Liberty's program (barring them getting a huge payday from this, which is possible) and it doesn't make for an exciting game for the viewers.
Lol y’all don’t understand college football that’s it. The best Group of 5 team goes to the New Years six bowl. This year it was liberty. Last year it was Tulane. Dummy’s
Dummies learn how too spell dummy@@sliideee128
@@dacypher22 the stands were empty. Everyone knew it was going to be a blow out. Kinda like Florida and bulldogs . Would rather have seen Ducks and Bulldogs . Would have been a better game. And ducks would have been in a battle.
Speaking does someone who has lived in Lynchburg his whole life and his watch Liberty grow from a mere intramural program to playing in the fiesta bowl is borderline unbelievable, I respect your comment 100% but as I said before the game started speed was going to be the difference, Oregon breeds speed always have, much respect to the ducks!!!! if Liberty had more speed I believe the game would have been closer if not a different outcome
As duck fan i’m going to miss 😭 Bo and Bucky 😢. Hope they do really good NFL.
We will all miss them 😪
Bo gonna stay another year😂
@@CJ-mw8su John Belushi stayed at U of O for 7 years 😂
Bo ready for year 10 in college 😂
Bo sucked at Auburn. Had to go to a conference that doesn't play good defense to shine.
Oregon deserved a better ending to their season but I suppose a free win in the Fiesta Bowl isn’t the worst thing in the world.
I won a ton of money of this game. Didn't bother me at all.
@@keinlieb3818 did you do parlays? Wasn’t much money to win for this games
Getting a spot in a premier bowl is a gift. They didn't 'deserve' better. They were the ones who lost to Washington, twice.
They did but penix with multiple NFL relievers and a really good team was literally just 3 points better. Sucks it had to be this year. Bo Nix is a special guy I wish him the best on his journey, Our Lord Jesus will guide him.
@@eugenewalter3170Washington is #2 and they lost by 3 both times. It sucks bc this team is good enough to compete in the playoffs
As a native Alabamian I’m glad to see Bo go on to Oregon and have the season he’s had. He sure didn’t have that great of prospects in auburn for sure. He had flashy moments but auburn didn’t develop him the way Dan did in Oregon. Best wishes from Gadsden Mr. Nix have a wonderful career in the NFL
Thanks for not being one of those "he couldn't cut it in the SEC" douchebags. He did well at auburn with what he had to work with
I'm an Oregonian living in alabama😂
Classy post. 👍
It should of been Georgia and Oregon!
we saw that last year and it was like 48-3
@@ryanamburgy2791 Last year though... As a Duck fan I don't know if Oregon would have won, as I actually think Georgia is the best team in the country. Regardless, it would have been more entertaining than what we got with the Orange and Fiesta bowls.
@@TirpitzLuminare fsu vs Liberty would have probably just been sad lol. Then again, so were these two games
@@ryanamburgy2791 I actually think FSU vs. Liberty would have been competitive, unlike what we got.
Yeah they should have let Florida state play liberty since they were both undefeated lol.
The college committee was full of alcohol when they picked these teams
What a career for Bo Nix cant wait to see what he does in the NFL! Congratulations to oregon
He appears to have every tool required, I'll def be looking for him at the next level...Dawgs fan here. Georgia.
Hard to say, he seems like a little bit of a head case, but all the best
@@johntell4333head case that has the collegiate record in pass completion percentage.
SAINTS!
Always the ones you don't hear about that go in the nfl and become a legend .
going undefeated in c-usa is a totally different story than playing oregon. liberty was completely out of its league.
Thank you Bo and Bucky!!!
Yeah for real and never beating Washington GO HUSKIES
7:03 okay, that has to be the coolest touchdown I’ve seen this entire season. I had to rewind and watch it again multiple times because of how incredible it was.
The way he had a whole army of blockers was hilarious
Mane I was saying the same thing.
When most nfl ready players decide to sit out a bowl game, Bo Nix said F it I wanna play one more time! Hats off to the young man on a great college career. Also hats off to Liberty on a great season as well. To even make the NY6 is something to celebrate
Tbh tho...if I was his agent...I would've advised him to sit out. 100%. At the end of the day, its a business...and risking injury in a game against Liberty...regardless of the outcome, does not make sense when you have a potential NFL future ahead of you. The NCAA has allowed this to happen with whatever BS system they are running right now.
@@trey206there was such a massive risk of career ending injury against liberty, i'm surprised he actually survived the game.
some people just have pride in/love for their team. respect it, don't whinge about it.
@@trey206This is why you aren't an agent. 😂
I mean if it was a good team they were playing yes he should play but it was liberty he shouldn't of wasted his time on this team
@@daniell5740 in the end its his decision. whatever happens to him doesnt really make a dent into our lives
Was just at the game and it was amazing seeing the ducks in person win a bowl such a magical experience
Against a conference-usa team.
Such a magical experience.., with cheese.
Lol
@@Sisyphus599 Look, is it Oregon's fault that NCAA is trying to give these type of schools the opportunity?
Had Liberty somehow won you probably would have clowned the Ducks for not being able to beat them.
It would be an upset for sure, I wouldn't clown on them though, because liberty has shown itself to be capable enough to go undefeated in their conference, and they would have shown themselves capable of beating Oregon if they had won. I think its cool that the NCAA would give Liberty the chance to go against a power-5 school but it's really not entertaining, nor is it fair to Liberty who has a loss against a team which they had no chances of winning against.@@thegoatest
As a Beaver fan I really enjoyed watching Bo Nix and the Ducks. Going forward I will root for the Ducks because they will represent my great state of Oregon. Still root for the Beavs when the two go head to head, but otherwise root for the Ducks. Love the cool old school duck uniforms.😊
It's finally happening!!! We are converting beavers fans 😮😅
Enjoyed being here and supporting our boys (from the LU band stands). A once in a lifetime experience for me and a lot of band students who've never seen a privilege like this. Congrats to the ducks, and thanks to all fans for the awesome performance experience.
So classy of Oregon to spot Liberty 6 points.
Proud of Bo even though he declared and was at risk of injury in this game he still played 1 last game with his team man got me sad gonna miss him and Bucky😭
Edit: The comment on kadarius Toney lining up was wild😂
Gonna miss you Mr.Nix. Thanks for the hard work and the joy you’ve brought me as a fan.
I talked so much trash about Bo during the season… I respect him so much for sticking it out with us even though he was risking his draft stock. Thanks for the farewell Bo. See you on Sundays.
Tough day to be an online Bible college.
Great for nix.
But dude, why liberty?
liberty was highest rated group 5 team, they got the automatic bid to a new years 6 game. They had to play somebody.
Ducks had an awesome season. Can't wait to see what they do in another Conference. Bo Nix passed Mariota kudos for that. Time to put on those welcome to the NFL pads and see how you do. Good luck on your journey. May it be a blessed one.🙏😊👍
Bo Nix is a great QB.
Good luck in the NFL.
Outstanding…Great to see our players return to play the Bowl game! Good luck in your next step boys, great season! Go Ducks!!! 👊🏻🏈🇺🇸
It should've been Oregon/Lsu. Bo Nix is an animal. We knew Liberty stood no chance
Liberty finally faced a real team lol
Kinda like fsu experiencing georgia, huh?
Bo Nix Jr. Looked pretty good @@tonylirette8988
@@tonylirette8988FSU had 23 opt outs. They woulda still lost. Shame we didn't get to see what they were actually capable with Travis and full power.
@@tonylirette8988 Liberty would beat FSU in a bowl game because their players actually played.
RG3 is a breath of fresh air on commentary
What a player Bo Nix is hes gonna be a star in the NFL
LOVE COLLEGE FOOTBALL! No Divas here; just young men developing their game with all their heart. Thank you, OREGON DUCKS!! XOXO
The game started off like Liberty was gone do something then after that first drive they did nothing 😂
Glad to see this was a blowout, the disrespect pairing Oregon with this team, gotta wonder the $ spent to make it happen.
Yea it didn’t make sense. Arizona got a good match up in Oklahoma. Happy they represented well, but Oregon deserved an opponent as strong if not more competitive than that
group of 5 team gets an automatics bid to a new years six bowl for their highest ranked team. That was liberty and they had to get blown out by somebody.
lets the kids have fun, its college football. this was a huge game for the entire liberty school, not just the players
Well there is a lot of money to be made in Christian nationalism circles and Un-Liberty is maybe the biggest colleges among Christian nationalists
I wanted Georgia vs Oregon matchup
This is what happens when college athletes care more about loyalty and team sportsmanship than future individual glory ! The Oregon Ducks deserve praise. Florida State's team should change its name to the Quitters.
Bo is old school went out with class bet he will be back after the pros as the quarterbacks coach nice fit
This team was elite for sure
You never disappoint! Excellent video! 😀
I am glad the Ducks showed the selection committee how bad this matchup was.
Such a mismatch, Liberty got stomped.
LU had no business being in a NY6 game. Even LU’s coach was asking Lanning to take it easy on them.
So happy that Bo went out with a W! Man im so happy
As a UW fan, it’s impossibly hard to root for the Ducks but playing against Liberty made it easy. I appreciate Oregon sending LU back home to abject humiliation. Well done, Ducks. We’ll see you guys next year.
Well beat texa$!
Beat Texas for us and the pac
If Oregon beats UW by more than 6 this year (confident about that), that erases the two losses last season, right? Pretty sure that's how it works. 😊
Can't believe Auburn was stupid enough to let Nix go.
They didn’t know what to do with him when they had him 😂
As an Auburn fan, I'm so happy to see Bo finally getting the praise he desrves.
If the Ducks had a field goal kicker, they would be in the playoffs
IF, IF, IF...... quack, quack, quack
It’s all good our time is coming brother 🦆
We don't know that.
Facts
@@rodgerdirkii2853 Oregon got pummeled in the Championship game. They were very lucky to have lost by only 3. Even if Washington had lost the first game they still were going to be in the PAC-12 Championship game, so not going for a field goal in the first game would not have put Oregon into the playoffs. Oregon would have had to win both games like Washington did.
I am surprised that liberty managed to close 1st quarter with lead. Of course we all knew that this will be like a practice session for oregon in the end though
Yea it happens sometimes u starts little slow
Why was No-Liberty University even put in the Fiest Bowl in the First place?
Hats off to Liberty for not being Rusty and executing right out of the gate. Oregon had to wake up. Liberty will do well in the G5 again next year. Game is perfect example of the G5 P5 gap which seems to be growing.
@@jeromemccollom936 I mean they arent even the worst team to ever make the Fiesta Bowl. I least they were ranked......
As a ducks fan, I admit the refs made some calls in the ducks favor. For sure. Liberty got the shaft on a few calls. That Stephens interception bounced off the ground in his arms lol. The pass interference call in the endzone was questionable. That facemask no call lol.
Gonna miss Bo and Bucky! But hey, they'll do amazing in the NFL that's for sure. Go Ducks Go!
That liberty crowd was loud early ngl lol
Kadarius Toney shade lol
It's always sad when another OREGON QB declares. Good luck on your future nix and thanks for all you did!!
As a Liberty fan I would like to forget anything after the 1st quarter😂
But seriously congrats to Nix, Lanning and the rest of the ducks on an amazing team. We know we weren’t your first option to play but you showed us where we want to be. Good luck in the big ten!
At least it wasn't 65-7 or 63-3 so don't feel bad Liberty fans
that liberty cheerleader commentator became a real duck fan after this game.....hoo hooo hooooo
The game was 6-0 when I went to the store and i came back its 24-6
Let's go, Ducks! Way to end the season on a high note! 2024 Fiesta Bowl Champs! 🌵 🏜
Just sucks we couldn’t beat Washington 😭
@@feelnowayss It does yeah,but it is what it is. We lost and that's end of the story.
Why even play this game? Would rather watch turtles racing!
@@tonylirette8988 Why? So that the team can end on a high note entering next season. Bo and the other seniors could have easily opted out to play this game like other players. This was also a good showing for the 2024 class as well in my humble opinion. Oregon could have easily just played poorly to not be there,but they didn't.
@@bewareking6458 the high school team in blue..?
Good job Nix...your play today reminded me of the game you had back in 1973 against ol miss I believe it was?...😊
As a Liberty graduate (2k19), I can rightly say that LU was WAY out of their league in this one. Oregon was obviously the better team here and virtually everyone knew that going into this game. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve loved watching their program grow tremendously these last four years, but they really should not have been here. CUSA is an embarrassingly weak conference in comparison to PAC-12. Glad they got exposure to some REAL mainstream football, but it really should’ve been back in September, not January.
Congrats Ducks 🦆 Quack Quack and all that.
Conference USA 🐻🏈🇺🇸 Loves
Do they teach you at Liberty to type 'K's" instead of 0 ?
@@phoebus Yeah just type a 0 stop trying to be different
Congratulations on your useless diploma mill degree
i thought you mean nba 2k19 for a sec lol
If Washington had any other team this year, I think Oregon would be pretty competitive in the playoffs
Ifs & buts were candy & nuts…😂😂, Go Huskies!
PS best team is Georgia (u all found out last year😂😂)
@@donwoolley5763 I don't know where you got that from. I've been riding with Washington the whole year, Oregon had a good team this year too. If Georgia was the best team, maybe don't lose to Bama. Ifs and buts 🤷♂️
It's levels to this
Bowl games are so ridiculous. This team should be in the playoffs
Or at the very least matched up against a better team
They had 2 chances to prove and they failed
@@jovaughnthompson354 agreed, oregon vs ole miss woulda been a good game for example
Not with two losses.
You lost to Washington twice. Conversation over. Btw? Liberty took the higher moral ground. Too. bad the ducks fans and players can't say the same.
Liberty had absolutely no business being on the field with Oregon.
One last ride with the crew 🥲
At the end of the first i thought we might actually have a ball game on our hands. Too bad Liberty couldn't do more. I didn't think they'd win but I did think it'd be a bit closer.
Oregon is just too good man. They have 2 losses, but by a combined 6 points against a team in the national championship.
Thank you, Awakenbeerus; this is the same outcome as you described in your live. THANK YOU 10,000 TIMES.
Can’t Buy your way out of this one Liberty.
Liberty did not belong in this game. Oregon was great. Nix played his heart out. Liberty is not even a top 50 team though.
Wow the play at 7:02. Works everytime without pressure. Liberty Defense looked exhausted
Oregon was demonstrably the better conditioned team.
They set liberty up 😂😂
not even a real college 😂
12 team playoff is gonna be crazy next season
This matchup was bad for both teams and a terrible look for the bowl-selection-committee.... wanna bet that somebody made some money on this 'set-up'.... corruption sucks.
No corruption, just bad luck. Oregon was always gonna go to the Fiesta Bowl. The highest ranked G5 champ always goes to a NY6 bowl and it was the Fiesta Bowl’s turn. It just sucked that Oregon couldn’t have played SMU.
@@anthonyc8499Your right, no corruption. Whats sad is that the ducks lost to the huskies twice in really close games. As a ducks fan, it was a heartbreaking end to season in that 2nd washington game but this was amazing to see Bo and Bucky and Bassa all one more time, gotta love to ducks. Its our own fault we aint in the playoffs and had to play Liberty, but it is what it is
@@willphilp2610 as a UW fan, it’s not easy to root for the Ducks but I was cheering for Oregon in this one. Watching the Ducks humiliate Jerry Falwell’s boys all game long just was a real treat. Bo Nix is a class act and it’s been fun to watch him these last two years. For Nix and Oregon to send LU back home so they can ponder big boy football all year, was just the chef’s kiss to a great collegiate career.
Most P5 schools would've went undefeated with libertys schedule. Aint hard when you play cornflake college every week. Theres about 80 schools that woulda did what Oregon did to them today.
As Alabama sits at half time against Michigan with less than 100 total yds 😂🤣
@@BOOGiNS and ended up being the only team that ever led Michigan in the 3rd or 4th quarter all season.
@@EulogyfortheAngels it's all irrelevant now. The ducks are the premier team to beat in college football in 2024
I love these uniforms so much. Brings back so many childhood memories
Nix would make a great NFL QB. The scouts will most likely support imagination or potential over actual talent. Love watching him play.
He showed a lot as a man, as a leader, and as a teammate today.
LU transmission blew 1st QT, good way to open up the game but allowing the Ducks to get 5th gear was dangerous. Great game congratulations to the Ducks
@5:06 both coaches been on sync putting their hands on their heads😂
This should have been Notre dame or Georgia , not some small school playing Oregon 😂
Liberty does teach players how to *Fall well.*
If you combine the two WA Husky games, the Ducks lost by a combined 6 points. Two games, 6 points. They deserved to be in the CFP more than Bama or TX, but the shameful bias of the committee raised it's head again. Luckily a new playoff format next year and joining the Big 10 may make things better, but the current committee members should go.
Texas and Bama deserved to make it way more than Oregon. Both teams won their conference (unlike Oregon), had better records than Oregon, and had much better wins than Oregon. It’s not a debate.
"I know that Alabama be the #1 team in the country that was on a 29 win streak as well as the #9 and #12 teams, but Oregon lost 2 close games to a playoff team! No contest who's more deserving amirite?!"
Who you played always tells the tale! Liberty had a good year but had no real shot in this game.
I am UW Husky fan but this bowl matchup was very disrespectful to Oregon. Oregon had an enormous speed and athleticism advantage against Liberty and Oregon wins this game 10/10 times unless they have 4 or 5 turnovers. I switched to watching the LSU vs Wisconsin game after Oregon went up by 17 points.
Oregon Should have played Ole Miss in the Peach Bowl. Oregon is correctly higher ranked compared to all the teams in the Cotton and Peach Bowls and only lost to UW twice because of last second field goals. The Cotton and Peach Bowl teams were pretty good this year but they all missed playing for a conference championship.
This game went exactly how I thought it would go Liberty was FCS school like 3years ago with FCS players on roster LoL but anyways congrats Oregon on victory
It was 6 years ago
I disappointed that Fresno State didn't make to this game as we had a strong chance of getting in, but the three game losing streak sealed that. but after looking at how this game played out with liberty. I'm glad we didn't.
I have a sneaky suspicion than both Nix and Penix are going to kill at the next level.
As a Ducks fan I believe wherever Bo Nix and Penix land they’re going to change their organization for the better
Thank you, Awakenbeerus. Whatever I was thinking before, I was wrong.
Props to Liberty.
Might as well be a Ducks highlight video. I was all ready to talk about how Liberty's first team offense was impressive for being able to score against our third team defense, because I honestly had forgotten they'd failed at even that, but it turns out they weren't able to even do that.
Although Liberty was undefeated, it was pretty clear Oregon would blow them up and give them their only L, a critical one at that.
8 vs 23. What a matchup.....
You don’t understand cfb
Kadarius Toney joke reference haha good one
This is the best day of my life thank you, Awakenbeerus. God bless your predictions.
Another reason why going undefeated does not matter. Florida State Vibes 😂
Un-Liberty U plays in a very weak conference, Florida State does not. There is a difference
Good job on Liberty for making it to a ny6 bowl!
And congrats to Oregon for the win
Btw, that was VERY generous & good/great sportsmanship of the Ducks to spot Lib their meaningless 6/7-8 pts in the 1st qtr (I'm being serious here)
Oregon+Refs = 🤝
Cry harder.

the 12 team playoff next year will prove its flaw immediately and this is part of it. G5 bids shouldn’t be automatic, Tulane last year was a legit top 12 team.

Bo Nix had a great career in college and earned enough NIL.

That was their retro uniforms, how they used to look for decades.
