Here is Dickey’s moment to step up to all that prior expectation. Hope he can. If not now, when?

X marks Jeremiah Smith. He said, "You can't cover me 1 on 1" as the saying goes, if it's true it ain't braggin'. 6'3, 219 and OBD were trying to jam him up with CB's who were 5'10, 180. None of OBD's WR's are that, but DeVonta Smith, 6'0 170, won the 2020 Heisman.

The point I am making is that modern football schemes assign somewhat different roles to players, and individual players are better suited for some roles than others. At the website Football Advantage "Coach Martin" states that the split end or X receiver "will go up against man-to-man pass coverage a lot. Cornerbacks will often line up directly opposite them and try to jam them at the line of scrimmage. To be successful at the position, an X receiver has to be either (1) quick or (2) physical enough to break away from this jam consistently. The X's main role is to work the outside of the field, covering both the widest and deepest portion of the field. " Coach Martin speaks only of receiving, not blocking, by the way. Gresham, McClelland, and Lowe are all bout 6 feet tall and 190 pounds. I believe Lowe is thought to have good acceleration. Kasper is 6' 6" and 210; Dickey is 6' 2" and 205. Neither has been consistent up to this point, although both have suffered injuries that have impeded their development. If Kasper and Dickey disappoint, do OBD have anyone on the roster who is well-suited for the X role?

I think the new House settlement might influence future portal picks with NIL deals needing to pass inspection. No more "buying" players. Supposedly. Either way, Oregon will end up in good shape. Our qb room now is stacked. Unproven sure, but hugely talented. I'm willing to wait it out. In Lanning & Co. we trust. Though for uncle Phil's sake, I hope we get that Natty soon!

The receiver room loses depth and experience, but not a huge drop in potential talent. We will replace a top receiver with 5*, or 4* receiver with less experience, but a high ceiling in potential. If I was a receiver I would be excited about the newest opportunity. This is what these guys should thrive on…the question should be…who wants to step up and be the next 800 to 1,000 yard guy?

So, there is one time, that I know of, when 3 letters, 2 of them the same, the other identical, form two words. The letters are in different order, the sound is the same, but the meanings are different. What are the two words?

"Opportunity" is definitely how Lanning looks at things, sometimes OBD take advantage of them, sometimes they don't, but that is the positive approach. I agree with the idea of Lowe and the observation that there a lot opportunities in Oregon's WR Room, and whatever room Sadiq wants.

I can pretty much assure you that Georgia's receiver room will look nothing like 2024. The addition of two highly touted portal receivers and the return of an X receiver who was suspended for off-field reasons and exonerated, plus the recruitment of a 5-star Z receiver and another very-high 4-star X receiver promise to spice things up. I might add that there are also three highly touted TEs in addition to the two very capable ones from last year. All these guys can't play at the same time but there are plenty of options.

Could not agree more! Part of baseball is the aesthetics. The sound of a solid hit is as good as there is in sports. Imagine this scene in "the Natural" if Roy Hobbs had an aluminum bat!

AMEN on the game at Penn State. But at Iowa and USC in the top 3 most difficult games in 2025? How is QB Gronowski transferring from FCS to Iowa going to pan out? I'm not certain that with Mendoza at QB and starters returning on all three levels of the defense, Iowa will be better than Indiana this season. Both Indiana and OBD are idle in Week 6 before the Hoosiers visit Eugene, with OBD coming off its Week 5 road game at Penn State and Indiana off a Week 5 game at Iowa. Both Iowa and OBD are idle before the Week 11 game in Iowa City, with OBD playing Wisconsin in Week 9 and Iowa playing Minnesota. USC should be improved and should finish better than 1-5 in one-score games. However, the penultimate game of the regular season will be played in Autzen Stadium. In 2024, SC was 1-4 on the road. USC will be the second Blue Chip Roster opponent OBD plays in 2025. I think the ultimate game of the regular season at Washington could be more difficult than playing Iowa in Iowa City and SC at home. In 2024, UW went 6-0 in Husky Stadium, defeating USC and Michigan, a Wolverines team with wins against national champ Ohio State and Alabama, in the process. UW QB Demond Williams is the real deal, while looking like a piñata against OBD's defense last season (11 sacks!) Williams still threw for over 200 yards, and he played great in UW's one-point bowl loss to Louisville. He is a better athlete than the Hawkeyes and Trojans will put on the field. Of course, except for the game against the Blue Chip Roster, PSU, this is all a shot in the dark.

Evan Stewart's injury leaves a void in the offense, and someone has to pick up the slack.

Thanks Alex for a great article! I totally agree with your selections. As mentioned below, others that could step up in a great way. Discussing what comes next after Evan Stewart's injury DEVELOPING: Oregon Football LOSING Evan Stewart to injury in 2025 creates HUGE opportunity for Ducks

IMHO the key to replacing Evan is whomever our starting QB is most comfortable with if they need a play made. There is plenty of talent in the room to choose from, with speed, with size, and for the most part can catch the ball when asked to. There are many schools that would be in serious trouble if this happened to them but I don’t think the Ducks are one of those. Plenty of studs in that group. Go s

I don't know. But I hope they enjoy the effort.

Without the tats. (un)social media drama, and the INTs, I hope. I also hope Dante is a better on-field leader. When Beck was injured in the conference championship game, the UGA offense seemed excited when Stockton entered the game and played hard for Gunnar. Hopefully, in 2025, Stockton will have WRs who can catch the ball. Not a national title last season, but considering the schedule, the roster turnover, and the injuries on the offensive line, running back, and Beck throwing to guys in the wrong jerseys, winning the SEC may have been Kirby Smart's best coaching effort.
