I just saw that Jon. I heard there was a meeting scheduled for today so it was probably decided this past Monday. I'm glad Billy went out with a win, but the air feels a little fresher. That sounds terrible, but the man was just in over his head. He'll get ten million dollars to soothe the pain. He'll get an additional 13 million spread out over the next four years if he isn't hired by anybody else. Time to move on. Who's next?

Not sure it’s a terrible thought at all. Could well be that Smith is next up, be it next year or the year after, and we go into the portal if needed. There’s no way to groom 3 future QBs at once in the portal era.

Wait, how can Napier be out when we haven't played them yet.

The Gators are officially parting ways with Billy Napier. I just hope we don't see the team give up now. Spoiling the season for Tennessee, Ole Miss, and Georgia would be pretty sweet. It would also help Oregon get a higher seed. Getting into the top four ensures a bye. Being in the top 8 ensures a home playoff game. The B1G has the top two teams in the country again. Alabama is up to fourth, Texas A&M is third. Oregon, Georgia and Ole Miss are packed pretty tightly together. Notre Dame is up to twelve, so they are going to be playoff bound again. USC dropped out while Michigan re-entered. Illinois is 23.

This is what Novosad said back in June, 2025. Has he changed his trajectory about his future with the Ducks? Only time will tell if this stay true. Oregon QB Austin Novosad Ends Transfer Speculation With Clear Statement About His Future“I’m a competitor, I love the program, I did not want to leave,” Novosad said. “I think Coach Stein and Coach Lanning speak for themselves. Just the consistency I mentioned earlier, they show that every day.” Novosad continued, “I wanted to be at a program where I could showcase my ability and set myself up for the future.” ‘Set Myself Up for the Future’ — Oregon QB Austin Novosad Shuts Down Transfer Rumors With Bold Message

12:30 kickoffs are great. 4pm means that I drive 2.5 hours in the dark with impatient fans heading to Portland that may have been drinking a good part of the day. If it is raining just add another level of PITA to the drive.

My question is why are no reporters asking our coach this?

A non 12:30 Kickoff!!!! Finally something different, it got a bit ridiculous having the game at the same time over and over again.

Duck fans rejoice as Will Stein takes the wraps off the Oregon offenseAutzen ZooDuck fans rejoice as Will Stein takes the wraps off the O...After two games of looking like they were wading in the sludge of a toxic waste dump, the Oregon offense came alive in New Jersey.

I think Mr. FishDuck may be on the money with this one. If both Novosad and Moga are going to the portal, they both have enough talent to start somewhere IMHO. Coach Lanning was just fine with Brock Thomas in the mop up role against Rutgers. If Novosad and Moga suited up and traveled with the team, surely they would be available if needed. Right?

First time ever in college football? Ducks averaged 12.5 yds per play vs 2.93 yds per play for largest discrepancy. Dante Moore leads Oregon to historic offensive output in 56-10 win at Rutgers - oregonlive.com

Can we count the wings on the helmets and diamond plating on the jerseys? Personally, I think tie-dyed helmet wings would’ve looked great.

Against Indy there was nothing strange or interesting about the Oregon offense... Other than it's ineptitude. We had three strange plays in one series against Rutgers. It really felt like there was a lack of creativity from the offensive scheming side of things against Indiana.

As the third quarter beatdown progressed, I was eagerly anticipating an answer to this confusing question but nope. I can accept the Novo talk of caution due to injury but that does not explain the Moga disappearance. Against Indiana when the offense was clearly figured out and was completely shutdown, I was expecting to see some sort of Moga trickery to show up to throw the Indy D off and maybe find some momentum but nope. Something seems to be going on behind the scenes that we may not find out until after the season. Enquiring minds want to know!

OK guys...this is a TERRIBLE thought, but I will share it for your reactions, and thank goodness I am on a site where people cannot attack me personally. What if...both Moga and Novosad have told the coaches they are leaving in the portal at the end of the season? Perhaps Dante has already told them that he is returning next year? So, the coaches are playing the only QB who might be back next year? But the two QBs understand that they will be playing if Dante gets hurt? Meanwhile Akili Smith Jr. is using a redshirt, and only has four games to use this year. My understanding is that he was not on the travel squad, which makes sense if you are already taking four QBs on the trip.
