I lost track of where I saw it.. but the three linebackers all have very similar snap counts against Northwestern. Jackson had the most, then Mixon, and then Boettcher. I think Oregon's linebackers are fantastic this year as a group.

Mixon has more of the natural instincts and isn't caught out of position as much as Jackson. Jackson seams to take less than optimal angles leading to arm tackles or being just a step behind a WR sometimes he can makes up for this with speed and sometimes he gets burnt. Jackson had gotten better at this but feels like the guy who never learned a technique because he's just so naturally talented.

Alex, I think your numbers are very compelling...yet Mixon was given B1G Defensive Player of the Week. I think it was our own Mike West who told me that he thought Mixon's instincts in recognizing the play to getting to the gap was superior to Devon Jackson, and certainly it appears that Mixon has superb anticipation in the passing lanes! To me...it is "Good-or-Good." Is Beavis Ready for His Beat-Down?

Yep, Lanning and the Oregon D staff sure can't develop players internally. Getting only 4 and 5 star recruits and proven transfers because of those deep pockets and NIL. Mixon was a 3☆ that played special teams early, then rotated in on defense, and now is arguably playing better than the faster and more 'talented ' #26, Jackson at the ILB position. Ditto Boettcher, who walked on for 'a t-shirt and backpack'. Mixon has shown the ability to play heady football, diagnose plays and respond quickly even if his top end speed is not elite. PFF may reward interceptions a bit too much in it's ratings, but it rewards Mixon in all aspects of his performance. He plays his heart out and like BB, brings his lunch pail to work every day.

Week 4 - 10 games with possible PO impact. Saturday BlitzThe 10 most fascinating games on the College Football Wee...Week 4 of the College Football season has arrived, and while it doesn't have as many high caliber matchups as Week 3, this should be another exciting weekend. T

Our Oregon football program has been firing on all cylinders since day one of the season, and a ton of young talent has started to rise up the depth chart. Alongside the young Ducks, there’s one player who’s shock-and-awed all three games of the season so far. My personal “Best Defender of 2025” entering week four is Bryce Boettcher. Oregon Football: 2025's Best Defender So Far

Fun to see. He's been all over the field in the first two games. Also cool to see that his ego doesn't seem to matter as I recall seeing him in on defense at the end of the game when starters had been removed.

My sincere hope is that Oregon goes with black uniforms. Only remaining question in my mind is, if they go all black uniforms, should the accent color be green or yellow . . . I think I'd like the yellow. Actually, just found it. I'd vote for this:

Even though Oregon and Northwestern kicked off conference play with their nationally televised matchup, the league’s Week 3 slate was mostly about Big Ten teams trying to avoid disaster in what amounted to a collective tune-up before everything ramps up in Week 4.

Football Power Ratings: Penn State leaps Georgia as Big Ten teams own top three spots 2 OregonThe Ducks got off to a somewhat sluggish start in their early Saturday game against Northwestern, but they eventually found their gear. The final score was 34-14, but the Ducks were up 34-0 over halfway through the fourth quarter before the Wildcats scored two touchdowns in the final 6 minutes. The numbers allowed in garbage time like that are considered when adjusting these ratings, so there was no impact on the Ducks' standing this week.

Presenting Episode 3 of 2025 Oregon Football Ducks vs Them

Speaking of not being happy with BIG scheduling: Both Ohio State and Penn State (the BIG's favored children) have bye weeks before playing the northwest teams. Adding insult to injury, the favored Nittany Lions play at home following their bye week with Oregon traveling 3,000 miles. Talk about stacking the deck. Oh well, I think Lanning uses it to dial in his boys and we win in spite of the BIG powers that be. Go Ducks!

I am split on how I feel about that SC/ND series ending. On one hand I'm sad to see traditional rivalries die. But on the other USC has a tough conference slate every year. Notre Dame can make their own schedule and still get their own reserved seat at the playoff table Florida is cancelling planned series vs ASU, NCSU, and Washington due to going to a 9 game conference slate next year. I'm disappointed because I live close to ASU and would've loved to see Florida come out here. I don't get many chances to see them live now that I'm 2,000 miles away and they don't leave SEC territory. But with nine SEC games along with FSU and Miami coming onto the schedule more, that's 11 P4 matchups. When the playoff inevitably expands I think we'll get a three loss or maybe even four loss SEC/B1G squad in. Personally I think three should be the maximum.

A good example of a player that was not on the radar from his previous play far exceeding expectations. Congrats Mr. Mixon.

I feel linebacker has improved this year. They have to do SO much that they can get kinda lost in the course of the defense. At times it feels like they're a DB and if they're not getting their name called that's a good thing because the ball isn't being thrown their way.
