Orange Bowl struggles make clear the path for Dante Moore at OregonAutzen ZooOrange Bowl struggles make clear the path for Dante Moore...One thing Duck fans love about Dante Moore is that he seems so unflappable. Though still a young quarterback who makes some mistakes, he stays calm and focused.

I failed, as usual, but blindsided is my specialty, lol! Congratulations, VD, er, VegasDuck!

At this point when IU and OBD's face off next week, they will both be facing the best team they have played against all season. Again! I give the Hoosiers a slight edge because of their consistency all season in all 3 phases. However, if IU plays like they did against PSU then they will lose to the Ducks. As long as OBD's plays crisp, clean and brutal! Follow the coaches game plan and move onto the Natty...... This will be a great game! If they reranked the teams then IU would still be #1 and the Ducks #2. This is gonna be special. Go Ducks!

Great article Alex, and you made a superb observation of how this team can win different type games. A shoot-out, or a defensive rock-fight, and that team strength is one I did not see coming on. That defensive performance is something NOBODY saw coming, and the confidence it builds going forward is huge.

As always, you are an honest and great sportsman. So glad you are here....

The Pac-12 is undefeated! lol

I hope you're right. But I think it was partially caused by some panic with Tech's edges regularly beating the OTs to get into the backfield, causing Dante and Pancho to rush at times.

Pretty darn good for a super-conference, and I'm not talking about the SEC! All that Alabama-Oklahoma-SEC hype was just hot-air...

Ranking the best players in the college football transfer portal After weeks of anticipation and early announcements, the NCAA transfer portal is now officially open for college football players. The offseason transfer portal window for FBS and FCS players opened at midnight ET on Jan. 2 and extends through Jan. 16. There's no spring transfer period this year, so teams have one big chance to get their rosters right for 2026. Which players are emerging as the most coveted and poised to make a major impact next season? Here are ESPN's rankings of the top players in the portal, along with scouting reports provided by Steve Muench and Tom Luginbill. We'll update these rankings frequently throughout January as more high-profile players enter the portal and make commitments. These rankings are based on production, experience, potential, demand and feedback from coaches and general managers throughout the sport.

I'm confident DL is going to come up with a theme that hyper focuses this team for these next two opportunities and rivet's it to its destiny of a national championship. Perhaps something like "Avengers: Endgame" in which the heroes (OBD) seek to retrieve the Stones from the past to reverse Thanos's (Whosiers) present actions, leading to an epic battle where they defeat their opponents and rewrite history. This team's best games are yet to be played! Go Ducks!

Mario Cristobal, Dan Lanning headline top quotes from CFP quarterfinals"I assume every time it didn't work, I'm stupid, and when it did work, I was smart. That's how it works, right?" -- Oregon coach Dan Lanning A stalwart defensive outing by the Ducks completely shut down Texas Tech's offense, which was held without a point -- the first shutout in the Orange Bowl since 1992 and the third shutout in College Football Playoff history. Oregon forced four turnovers, including a strip sack and fumble recovery by Matayo Uiagalelei that set up the Ducks' first touchdown of the game in the third quarter. On the other side of the ball, Lanning was incredibly aggressive in keeping his offense on the field on fourth downs. Oregon attempted eight fourth-down conversions, the most ever in a College Football Playoff game, according to ESPN Research, converting four of those attempts. After the game, Lanning offered a sarcastic musing about outside reactions to his approach. ESPN.comMario Cristobal, Dan Lanning headline top quotes from CFP...The Miami and Oregon coaches delivered some of the best quotes of the season following the CFP's quarterfinal round.

They likely will be stopped simply by playing at 4:30pm instead of 9am.

Oregon's latest transfer entry makes perfect sense, and typifies the dilemmaKasper entered the Transfer Portal today, an understandable decision that illustrates the dilemma for Dan Lanning and his players. Recruiting at a top level in a frenzied, fiercely competitive market, there is only so much room on the two-deep, and kids want their opportunity to earn and develop. Every year 15-20 players will leave Oregon for perceived greener pastures. The crazed college football calendar dictates that they do so at the most inopportune time. Oregon is two wins away from a national title, yet in the midst of it they've lost five defensive backs and two wide receivers to the portal. Autzen ZooOregon's latest transfer entry makes perfect sense, and t...A 6-6, 215 four-star wide receiver from Chandler, Arizona, Kyler Kasper caught six passes in four seasons with the Ducks.

64 yards rushing. Yes, TT has a top defense, which they proved. Mostly against the run. So why did we send our backs into the middle of their line over and over with so little to show for it? And did any of our passes behind the line of scrimmage ever pay off. Or did most lose yardage? We can also be thankful Tech's QB couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Their offense was highly overrated. But our play calling needs to be better. Indiana has a top defense, too. But they also come with an offense that can run and pass very effectively. This will be the Ducks' supreme test. I'm just glad we get a 2nd shot at Indiana. Because the winner will take it all.

Congratulations! I picked high, price is right style. I should have just bid 1 dollar for Texas Tech, but hindsight is 20:20.

The OL play was surprising. Like they had trouble waking up. Pregnon alone killed 2 drives in the 1st quarter with "what were you thinking?" missed blocks. He's literally the #1 guard in the country and he killed 2 drives. Our center who is a Remington finalist screwed up multiple snap, one that took us out of field goal range and another that blew the timing of a play for a loss of yards. He also blew quite a few blocks. Obviously there were other OL struggles just due to TTU 's amazing front seven who is likely the best front 7 in the country, better than Indiana and Iowa at least by a clear amount. Looking back at the NW game that was also at 9am we weren't as crisp. Fans that know better say the Orange Bowl at noon local time was a disaster. For those that remember, the Orange Bowl used to be the last bowl on New Year's day late into the evening with a real party like atmosphere. I think we've learned that the current playoff format does really suck, in multiple ways, and that our players can really struggle with early games (who knows that maybe it really affected Morton to play at 11am), and that our ceiling in each phase is as high as anybody, we are 14 games into the season and STILL haven't put it all together for a complete game.

Biggest Winners and Losers Biggest Winners And Losers From Oregon's Win Over Texas Tech

25-2, 1-7, no need to Google him, he wins! The most amazing turnaround in CFB history continued yesterday with Indiana's Rose Bowl pasting of Alabama. Indiana is led by a guy who coached under Nick Saban and knows, as well as anyone, that Nick has left the building. Only one team has been able to overcome the Rip Van Winkle long winter's playoff nap: the Hoosiers. Kirby Smart is 0-2. Ryan Day 0-1. Massey Computer Rankings through 1/1/26 - https://masseyratings.com/cf/fbs/ratings Massey has nine B1G and nine SEC teams in the top 25. 2nd-ranked Oregon's strength of schedule (SOS) is ranked fifth, expected to be the 3rd most difficult SOS after the Peach Bowl game vs. Indiana. 8th-ranked Texas Tech finishes with the nation's 45th most difficult SOS. Massey's rankings are well respected and cannot possibly differ that much from the PO Committee's super-secret, you need a decoder ring to figure them out, computer rankings. Texas Tech's loss came at the end of 31st-ranked ASU's pitchfork. OBD lost to No. 1 Indiana. Why wasn't Oregon wearing the home unis in yesterday's game? The Eye Test. Objectively looking at the competition played, maybe, you know, using metrics at hand, 1-loss Oregon and not 1-loss Texas Tech, should have been the 4th seed. Thank goodness this didn't happen, and the defense that gave up 500 yards against the Sun Belt champion shut out the B12 champion. Mike West called it. Oregon's roster talent advantage showed up. The Red Raiders bought one half of the equation, but even with your defense playing well, you have to score a point or two. Call out Will Stein if you so choose, but Week 6 Dante does not find a way to win yesterday's game. Will the OBD O be ready Friday night, going against the best D in CFB? Going against, arguably, the best coach in CFB? Before the Orange Bowl game, Oregon under Dan Lanning was 25-2 when the Ducks rushed for 100-plus yards. Yesterday, OBD rushed for a net 64 yards and won the ball game. Won with many new starters, including true freshmen. The talent accumulation is beginning to show. Will it manifest for two more games? HOSE THE HOOSIERS!

It pains me to say it, but I think Miami is the kryptonite to Indiana. I think Miami has the right mix of monster players and scheme to thwart the Hoosiers. Over the years I always marveled at how much bigger tosu players looked compared to their opponents. That changed when they played Miami. The Miami players along the trenches are HUGE. That’s not to say Oregon can’t beat Indiana as well, I just think Miami is a matchup nightmare for Indiana. Here’s hoping Ole Miss keeps their Cinderella run going and knocks off Miami. And that the Ducks can solve the Indiana riddle.
