I actually believe he has the LBs to run the Mint. But he doesn't have the DL this year. The LBs cover sideline to sideline better than everyone else in my opinion. But they don't get to the QB as effectively as they did during the Title runs. I haven't seen the Bama get her in detail. But after reviewing the Tennessee tape, it doesn't appear their CBs are as effective either. I believe that depends on the set of WRs they face though, as they seem to have Texas' number, but not Bama's. And Tennessee really went after them. Long story short, I'm not sure yet. I do think the scheme has run it's course though. But it just might be the talent level across the board is much more equal than before the NIL era.

When I saw the Penn State punt team run out on the field at the 36 yard line, and kick a net 16 yard punt, I think I instantly had flashbacks of Mario. That was a bad decision that has not been discussed much by the media. Mario loses to an unranked team every season. They will probably beat FSU next weekend and then lose to some below 0.500 conference team. Book it!

“The Trojans proved in their loss Saturday against Illinois that they still aren't a contender just yet.” Not yet, huh? 6-6 in conference play since joining the BIG screams just on the edge of greatness. Michigan is up next, so that is probably dropping below 0.500 real fast.

NIL $$ makes the staying choice much easier. His willingness to submit to sitting last year proves he understands the long term value he gains by learning all he can. The QB position, along with maybe O-line, are the spots where live game experience is most needed for NFL success. My money says he stays. If he does, we mist likely lose Novosad.

Thus, OBD or TOSU's 1st loss will happen on 12/6/25 in Indianapolis in the B1G champ game. If this were to happen, the winner would have a 1st round PO bye, as would the loser. The winner plays in the Rose Bowl against the winner of the No. 12 seed at the No. 5 seed, and the loser likely plays in the Cotton Bowl against No. 7 at No. 10, or No. 11 at No. 6.

Mario will always get in the way of Mario, he just can't help himself.

I don't when it will happen, but we all know Miami will drop a game that they shouldn't. Will this be the year Mari Cristbal leads his team to 0 losses? I don't think so.

Dan Lanning offers early thoughts on next weekend's game with No. 8 Indiana No. 2 Oregon will host No. 8 Indiana in Eugene next week. Oregon coach Dan Lanning offered early thoughts on next weekend's game.

His brother, freshman Na'eem Offord, is on the roster too and has played in all 5 games.

In some ways I feel sorry for the young man. Tearing it up in his former school and conference, he thought he could transfer to a school where he would be seen by more scouts and improve his draft stock. While Oregon was a school that could have done that for him, he found there were RBs already here that were simply better, and he could not beat them out for playing time. I hope he has the best of luck in all his future endeavors.

Not sure how another year would give him more playing time. Whittington is gone after this year, but Limar still has another year as does Harris and then there's the upcoming freshmen Davison, Hill and Riggs. Am I missing anyone? Damn our RB room is loaded and who knows who we may add next year. My $ is on Hughes transferring, it makes the most sense for all parties IMHO.

Nah, my insurance man says once you pay the premium and you are insured, no refunds. However, I'm pretty sure it was term insurance, and the term is up as soon as the portal opens.

There is no portal available at this time, except for the Stargate.

I’ve been waiting for this so I could finally let go and move on to Indiana. Just the little behind the scenes of insight we are provided make me wanna run through a brick wall for these young men. Every time I see coach Lanning behind the scenes reminds how close we were to hiring someone else, and how many of us on this forum were skeptical. I thought he was gonna bail for sure when Alabama came knocking. When he stayed I decided then and there that all the ghosts of the past were dead and buried. It’s not if he can win a championship, but when he wins it I’m never calling it a “natty”, that’s what the old Ducks fan in me would have called it. I’ll call it a “chip” because it’ll just be a little piece of the legacy he builds here.

It seemed like a couple of the most important completions by Allar were made on his way to the turf... Was it luck, or incredible poise in the grasp of an Oregon defender, as the D reacted to the QB's peril, rather than minding their assignment?

I hope he stays, but if he does transfer I’d like to see him go to Dilly at ASU.

Odds are, with Whit gone at the end of this season, and potentially a couple of the other players looking for greener pastures, this could be a brilliant move by Lanning and Hughes.

Thanks, OregonDucks. That Joel Klatt interview on the Herd was well worth the listen.

Since posting above, I read the article attached at the top of this thread as well as an article on 247. The latter says Hughes has not indicated that he wants to transfer and quotes Lanning as saying he wants to keep him.

Let's take a look, shall we? 🦆

Joel Klatt agrees that Penn State is running the wrong offensive system for Drew Allar (4:24).

There will definitely be some takers, it's just a matter of what level they are. I'm willing to bet that Hughes could still get a call from a reasonably upper power 4 team, no idea who, but with the production he had at Tulane, I'm willing to bet somebody will have a spot for him. Makes no sense to stay here when you have two freshmen who are already ahead of you in the pecking order.
