This was a fantastic "education" game for our frosh defensive backs. (Finney, Iffy, Lopa, and Flowers) Lanning indicated that technique can be improved upon, and between the film room and this experience--we will be much better off in the future for this experience. Imagine if the Trojans had their top-three receivers out...

Absolutely

I lived on the border of SEC land (NC) for 5 years and can relate to the bubble and general nuttiness. It’s pretty insane imo, that someone like Lane thinks he needs to jump to LSU or Florida in 2025. He has more money than he can personally count…and they’ll give him more. He’s built it up so he probably is getting about as good of a year to year roster as he can expect to get anywhere else. The only reason to leave really imo would be to go back to your alma mater, or if he and his family actually didn’t like living there. You can do all these things anywhere and still need some luck for it to all come together in a particular year.

Or maybe they recognized that the refs were letting their offensive PI's go uncalled and instead called defensive PI's? Hahahhahahahha no they would never admit that the refs called something in their favor and it be the wrong call. Speaking of Oregon's defensive backs though they did a pretty good job. They kept USC receivers in front of them and there were few yards after catch. I don't know how Oregon's defensive backs could have covered some of those receivers much better or those PI calls any better as USC receivers were pushing off against them. Loads of slop to go around but the better team still won.

Time for my favorite pics when talking about ancient football things! The fact the two pics are 50 years apart (and that might not occur to somebody) only underscores how irrelevant these ancient things are.

Well, if we face Ohio State in the Playoffs....they have a pretty decent QB/Rec group, but your point is well taken. The Trojan receivers are superb, and this was a great experience for our secondary to learn from, and yet still win the game.

After Oregon settled down, the team really started to out physical USC. Causing problems in the run game and their passing game! With the strength of Oregon schedule they should make a title run in the playoffs. They should not see a QB/WR combination this good the rest of the playoffs maybe outside of BAMA/INDIANA. Go Ducks!

usc fans saying UO played disciplined is kind of hilarious. We played sloppy and still won by 15. But anyhoo, on to the Montlake Bundys.

5 major takeaways from Oregon Ducks' 42-27 rout over USC Trojans There was a lot on the line on Saturday afternoon in Autzen Stadium. Not only were the No. 7 Oregon Ducks and No. 15 USC Trojans fighting to stay alive in the College Football Playoff race, but they were also battling for West Coast supremacy, as well. The Ducks were hosting a large portion of their 2026 recruiting class for visits on Saturday, several of whom are 5-star players that the Trojans are also recruiting. With Lincoln Riley on the other side of the field, trying to end Oregon's impressive season, Dan Lanning and the Ducks needed to make a statement on Saturday.

No. 15 USC Trojans vs No. 7 Oregon Ducks | Full Game Highlights

I currently live in SEC country and find it amusing that you have 8 SEC programs whose fans/boosters legitimately expect to win the conference and national championship every year. They don’t seem to realize that there is only one champion, you are competing against some really good freakin’ programs with just as talented players and you need everything to fall in place for that to happen.

Special teams swings power Oregon past USC 42–27 in top-15 showdown Oregon beat USC 42–27 thanks to major special teams swings, including an 85-yard punt return, a leaping penalty on a missed field goal, and multiple Trojan miscues that turned into Ducks touchdowns. Here’s how special teams became the difference in the top-15 matchup.

It can be a useful move on regular plays if you time it right. It’s only allowed on FG attempts if you start your leap from the standing position.

So many great comments and thoughts on this thread. Love this fun forum! I hope OBD's does not make the title game. If the end goal is to win the Natty then the Ducks need to make the CFP, first....... So, lets beat the huskies first. Depending on O line injuries the task may be a little more difficult. The Ducks have depth and depth with talent, so OBD's needs to keep the huskies D off balance. Dominate the trenches for sure and win. The Buckeyes defense just slammed the door on the huskies offense when they played.. I expect the Duck D to do the same and take the pressure off the O. Then we need rest and healing for all the players before the 19th or 20th. We do not need an added game! Let' meet IU in the playoffs.......... The committee needs another statement game by OBD's to give them a reason to have 3 BIG teams in the playoff. So tOSU and IU need to win out and battle for the title. That game is in the best interest of the BIG, the final rankings and seedings and OBD's. Handle the puppies and OBD's gets home cooked meals until they leave for the 2nd round games on New Years. Go Ducks....it's all on the line this Saturday!

That B1G Title game will be pointless if it's Indiana vs Ohio State imo. Both will get byes if they make it there. Let's go to the play in model Petitti proposed. Personally I'd rather see Michigan vs Oregon, USC vs Washington in two weeks. In the SEC we could get Ole Miss vs Vanderbilt, and Georgia vs Oklahoma. That would incentivize being in the top 2 of both big boy conferences. If Ohio State loses vs Michigan, they could drop to a play in, which would guarantee Oregon a playoff spot. We could even get a rematch between Ohio State and Michigan the next week to see who gets in the playoff. Give the top four seeds a home playoff, that would further make being in the top two a reward.

One of the media's push points the last few weeks has been that Oregon is soft in the Red Zone... On Saturday, 11/22/25, the DUCK D stopped USC, in the RED ZONE, twice, beginning a field goal from point blank range, that banged off the goal post, and a turnover on downs. "Are you not ENTERTAINED???" Gladiator's indeed!
