Our Oregon football program has sported some of the best offensive minds in the game, and now (almost poetically), Dan Lanning’s defensive prowess & passion have elevated Oregon into a true blue-blooded powerhouse. They rank 3rd in the country in this week’s dreaded AP Poll, after beating Penn State in a Whiteout matchup where the Ducks were rarely in doubt, and ... Oregon Football: Where Does Dan Lanning Rank Today?

Oregon is a great university, it just so happens the conference you joined has some of the best institutions in the country. Top to bottom, it's great schools. But if you want to be higher than you are, just let West Virginia and Utah in and you'll be up on three schools.

I tend to agree with this assessment. Cristobal needs to let his assistants pretty much run the show and not be Mari intrusive. Bonehead decisions is what I dislike most about Mari and i am not sure that he can resist if the going gets tense in a big game. Time will tell I guess.

A guy who paid his dues before getting a P4 HC gig at the P4 school with the most losses in CFB. CFB fans, 2024 was not a schedule-induced Indiana one-off. Cignetti was the recruiting coordinator for Nick Saban at Bama. His Dad was the HC at West Virginia for years and is in the CFB Hall of Fame. The Cignettis' ties with Saban go back to Saint Nick's roots, West Virginia. Cignetti was making $200,000.00 a year working at Bama. To his wife's chagrin, and his daughter's, who was a student at Bama, he took a $125,000.00 pay cut to become the HC with the University of Indiana, Pennsylvania Crimson Hawks, not Crimson Tide. The same school his Dad coached for before moving up to West Virginia. Then it was on to D2 Elon and then on to FCS James Madison, where he moved up with the Dukes to the FBS and success in the Sun Belt. Danno's career is the antithesis of Cignetti's. In his own sardonic way, Curt has gone out of his way to emphasize the success Dan Lanning has had a a 'young coach.'😁 Curt now makes $8 million + a year. In 14 seasons as an HC, Cignetti has never had a losing season. The impact of his hire on Hoosiers' football is right there with Prime Time, except for more wins. One reason I believed Indiana could be this season's Indiana was the manner in which Gig acknowledged his 2024 team LOS problems, addressed the same in the portal, as well as bringing in a likely 1st round draft pick at QB, and Maryland's best RB. OBD wins on Saturday, and it will be Cig's 3rd loss at Indiana, where Indiana used to have three losses or more in every season's first four games. His two losses. At the 2024 National Champion, Ohio State, and at the 2024 PO runner-up, Notre Dame. OBD has the better roster, no doubt. But I'm not sure there is a coach in CFB who would have his team better prepared than Gignetti for Saturday's visit to The Autzen Zoo. I think an OBD cover will happen, a cover of a line now bet down to: Autzen ZooMysterious movement in the betting line, odds for Indiana...Something weird is happening with the betting numbers ahead of Oregon's home game against Indiana. As noted in the article, this could be due to PSU's face plant in LA and OBD not having a win vs. a Top 25 opponent. The only Top 25 and Top 25 wins that matter will be revealed by the PO committee on 12/7/25. HOSE THE HOOSIERS! PUT OUT THEM CIGS!

Listening to Cignetti bluster...

He's no fool. He's not giving anything for Lanning to use against him.

Never forget that 4th quarter Beaver punt that Keenan took back 70 yards for a TD right into a rainstorm from the west. Ignited a comeback that Maurice Morris capped off with a score. Welcome home KH!

Not to be a contrarian (and not super holding onto this); but, I'm sorta liking what we are seeing so far (staying mostly status quo). I don't see a huge need to rush Hill/Davison into a lead 20+ combined carries per game (currently they are getting about 10). Davison just needs to keep doing what he has been doing (and he does have like 7 carries of 6+ yards so it isn't all just the super situational short yardage runs). Hill has been amazing as a home run hitter, with a crazy explosive run rate (15 or more yards) of 27.5%. Out of his 26 carries, 9 have gone for 10+ (66, 28, 24, 24, 19, 17, 15, 13, 11). However 10 of his carries (38%) have gone for 3 or less yards (3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 0, 0, -1, -1, and -3). Giving him more carries likely won't increase his explosive rate (as it is about as high as you are going to get); and, we probably see at this stage of his young career more of the tougher yardage runs until he grows into that true #1. Let's say the Ducks play 15 games (we are going to win at least one playoff game this year!). If the rotation is tightened up just a bit, leaning maybe alittle more into Hill/Davidson; and, Hill ends up with a 700 yard season, 600 for Limar, 600 for Whittington, 300 for Davidson, Moore is on pace for at least 300, and the backs that get the rest of the carries (Harris, Riggs, what Hughes has already given, Moga, plus any WR or TE runs) total 400 (I think realistic), that's 2900 total rushing yards. The last 3 years Oregon has rushed for 2211 yards (14g in 2024), 2583 yards (14g in 2023), and 2805 yards (13g in 2022). Last year was down to 4.6 ypc. Stick with what the staff is doing (fresh legs) I could see it back to around 2023's 6.2 ypc. It currently at 6.3 ypc. Probably needs to be noted, while the NCAA team statistics are still working themselves out to closer to where they will finish due to wildly different OOC scheduling -- it still is interesting to see Oregon's 4 FBS opponents are averaging 88th in rush defense (Montana State is #13 FCS). Currently 6 out of Oregon's 7 remaining scheduled opponents are top 30 in rush defense. Hard to predict what exactly that means but I could see an argument for experienced backs helping.

Yep, I had the misfortune of being at Boise State for the Blount punch but he was eventually reinstated (for the CW and subsequent bowl game I believe) so yes it was short-lived but still a nightmare for opposing defenses.

Where Oregon Ducks Stand As No. 1 Basketball Recruit Tyran Stokes Nears DecisionFive-star small forward recruit Tyran Stokes is the No. 1 prospect from the recruiting class of 2026. Stokes has narrowed down his final schools, but where do the Oregon Ducks stand against the USC Trojans, Kansas Jayhawks, Kentucky Wildcats, and the Louisville Cardinals? Where Oregon Stands With StokesThe Oregon Ducks are making a strong push for the No. 1 recruit and doing as much as they can to land Stokes. Notable Oregon alumnus and Nike co-founder Phil Knight has stepped in to help the Ducks land Stokes, according to a report from Rivals. As the No. 1 high school basketball player from the class of 2026, Stokes signed a major Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL), that could play a role in his recruitment. Stokes signed a multi-year shoe deal with Nike. With the partnership, it could be more likely that Stokes picks a team also associated with Nike, which would knock the Kansas Jayhawks and Louisville Cardinals lower on his list, as they are with Adidas. Oregon, USC, and Kentucky are Nike-sponsored programs, and his NIL deal could give the Ducks an edge.

Indiana’s OC Mike Shanahan should be on Coach Lanning’s shortlist of potential replacements for Coach Stein. I believe that he runs a RPO offense and has put up a lot of points the last couple of seasons. I wouldn’t necessarily judge his offense against Oregon’s defense.
