I remember being at a Utah game awhile back and the Ducks had bit a comfortable but not dominant lead. An injured Bo had to come out for a play and in comes TT. In his only play of the game he bungles a hand off that turns into a scoop and score and all of a sudden OBD are in a dogfight. No matter who ends up being QB2 or whoever enters the portal, I'm just glad those days are long behind us. I have confidence that QB2-4 would be capable of coming in and at least looking like they belong on the field.

I'm thinking part of this is Lanning also rewarding outright work ethic right now. Thomas by the sound of it is continuing to work his butt off and Lanning is rewarding that. That is not to say that Novosad and Moga are preparing to jump in the portal but it could also be a sign of that. But for now Thomas is the one working the hardest in the quarterback room and getting rewarded for his efforts. If Moore goes down with an injury, heaven forbid, that is when and probably only when we see the true qb2 come out.

LOL. Looks like someone reads FishDuck’s forum.

Totally agree KK! Could not have said it better! THIS team could make a deep and deadly run into the playoffs! If OBD completes league play with this intensity, we should get our opening playoff in Autzen!

My wish is for football/basketball to be their own entities and the rest of the Olympic sports to be grouped together. It makes so much more sense to be regional conferences, not coast to coast conferences. However, that isn't the world we live in today. If Oregon is going to survive the way college sports are today, we are in the right place. It is easy for others to say, take less money. Their jobs aren't on the line. Is anybody at their work going to stay in their job when offered a raise to go to another company because all of their co-workers aren't going with them?

Penn St lost a tough game at home to a top ten team and never recovered. OBD does the same thing and Lanning shows the team film of recovering after being mauled by a bear! Aside from giving up bookend turnovers that lead to giving up ten points, the Ducks played about as flawless a game as I have seen. Rutgers is not that good but they also aren't that bad. Before their 46 point blowout to the Ducks they had lost to Iowa by 10, Minnesota by 3, and Washington by 19. Hardly the doormat that OBD made them look like on Saturday. In those loses their offense had scored 28, 28 and 19. This blowout was more about the Ducks digging down deep to find a better team than they were before. I think we may have just seen a young but dangerous team mature into a dangerous team. A+ coaching this week was nicely revealed in this week's episode.

Jayden Limar injury shouldn't be long term without specifics. Dan Lanning doesn't expect Jayden Limar to be out for a 'really long time' with injury

What should the Oregon Ducks expect from Wisconsin Badgers offense? What should the Oregon Ducks expect from Wisconsin Badgers' defense?

Head Coach Dan Lanning meets with the media ahead of #6 Oregon Football's home matchup vs. Wisconsin on Saturday, October 25 (4:00pm PST | TV: FS1).

Evan Stewart could return this year for the Ducks and provide a boost to the Oregon offense.

Appropriate theme for the Rutgers game "Go to the Doctor". "Now's our opportunity to reset, refocus. No poor me, right? We're not afraid of hard work, but now we can work a little bit harder. We can prepare a little bit more. We can give you a better plan. We can execute at a higher level." "I challenge everyone in this program to use it as fuel. Let's lean into the opportunity to get better." Autzen Zoo'Ducks vs Them' recaps how doctor visit fueled Oregon win...For Oregon fans, a game week isn't over now until they've watched "Ducks vs Them," the cinematic recap from Scott Anderson and the Oregon video team.

Ducks vs Them…"Go To The Doctor"

I had a feeling this wasn’t the initial product.

If we’re looking for a ridiculous wish in time… How about going back to when we were pretty close to having a PAC16 with Texas and Oklahoma, but no one besides USC could wrap their brains around unequal revenue sharing becoming the world we live in? Texas wanted more of a “merit based” system (that could have been negotiated to actually be based on current merit), but the Beavis’s of the world couldn’t imagine that a smaller piece of a MUCH larger pie would still be a good thing. Long history of teams in that conference not carrying their weight but getting a full share. Ironically, in 2026 I believe every former PAC-North member will be getting something other than a normal share in whatever conference they will be in that year.

$30 million a year? When $20 million a year is needed for revenue sharing payments. Many 10:30 Eastern time kickoffs + the Pac-12 After Dark punchline, no thanks. A clueless commissioner versus a guy with executive broadcast experience and the willingness to take unpopular stands in favor of his conference. The Pac-12 Notwork vs the Big Ten Network - JVs vs The Varsity. Three trips East with one to the Central time zone. No B1G deal when it comes to The Money Maker - Football. Football. 2 losses in the Pac-12 and maybe you're in the PO compared to 2 B1G losses and you're in. Yesterday's Gone - Don't you look back - Thank you, Fleetwood Mac. 😎

Can Canzano go away already? He is like a gilted girlfriend who still contacts your mom. Oregon St is over..Pac for the ones who left is over. Get over it.

Leaning at the finish line. So much better than dropping the ball 1 yard short of the goal line….lol

I was thinking the same thing. Folding chairs vs. the comfy theater seating. Coaches sat around a basic conference table as well.

Lanning discussed this a little bit. It appears Thomas earned the playing time. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2025/10/20/oregon-football-dan-lanning-austin-novosad-luke-moga/86803401007/

Love it. Also... Just going to throw this out there. But does anyone think for a minute that James Franklin sat his team down and made them take their medicine like that? With that passion for getting better? Also anyone else notice that Lanning was doing the full team meeting in the indoor practice facility and not the comfy as auditorium they have set up for team meetings? Lanning made them take their medicine as he ripped them for their mistakes against Indiana. And the players took their medicine happily which showed against Rutgers.

For the pac-12 to survive and truly thrive your have to go back in time and prevent USC and UCLA from leaving and basically out in place a "you win it you earn it" to unequal revenue sharing. When it came to football both were the beneficiaries of the success of others making big bowl games as neither were terribly good overall for the last decade. Incentivize them to invest and reap the benefits. This would hurt the bottom of the conference but fine. That's the way things are. If the pac-12 survived the Ducks would have won the conference last year probably been ranked number 3 going into the playoff. And probably would have done some damage as they would have avoided the Ohio State buzz saw.... Which might not have been as much of a buzz saw because they wouldn't have suffered an agonizing loss to Oregon mid season. Probably would have lost to Michigan still. But may have won the conference? So who knows how things would have turned out. As for this season I think Oregon would win the Pac-12 again and would make the playoff. Granted, the whole conference would be a bit better than some of its pieces. Oregon State would still have Smith probably and would be middle to middle top of the pack. Cal would be the surprise team this year. USC would be probably number 3... Just because they'd be underperforming. Ok... Going to stop there because here's the absolute sad truth of this for me. The pac-12 is a way more fun conference to me. I did love that adorable canabal conference. It was exciting from week to week. Sure Oregon has had some of the biggest ranked games in our history in the B1G but frankly you say Oregon v Rutgers and I don't get that excited, even with or in spite of the result. But Oregon v Cal? Sign me up! I'd happily watch that game right now. Cal actually looks reasonably good this year. And FSU got Stanforded last weekend! I don't being on the receiving end of a loss at the Farm but let's be honest... If you have to play an academic school who would you rather play, Stanford or Northwestern? Give me Stanford because of the history and their supremely stupid mascot for a school that prides itself on academics. They are the color red... And their band made the dumbest looking tree imaginable and they play it off like we're the fools. Meanwhile... Northwestern has the uninspired... Wild cat. Ughhh. Yes... I do miss the old Pac-12 but I would rather be in the Big Bland 10 over being left out in the cold with Oregon State and Washington State. That is a date worse than conference death.
