Never forget that 4th quarter Beaver punt that Keenan took back 70 yards for a TD right into a rainstorm from the west. Ignited a comeback that Maurice Morris capped off with a score. Welcome home KH!

Not to be a contrarian (and not super holding onto this); but, I'm sorta liking what we are seeing so far staying mostly status quo. I don't see a huge need to rush Hill/Davison into a lead 20+ combined carries per game (currently they are getting about 10). Davison just needs to keep doing what he has been doing (and he does have like 7 carries of 6+ yards so it isn't all just the super situational short yardage runs). Hill has been amazing as a home run hitter, with a crazy explosive run rate (15 or more yards) of 27.5%. Out of his 26 carries, 9 have gone for 10+ (66, 28, 24, 24, 19, 17, 15, 13, 11). However 10 of his carries (38%) have gone for 3 or less yards (3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 0, 0, -1, -1, and -3). Giving him more carries likely won't increase his explosive rate (as it is about as high as you are going to get); and, we probably see at this stage of his young career more of the tougher yardage runs until he grows into that true #1. Let's say the Ducks play 15 games (we are going to win at least one playoff game this year!). If the rotation is tightened up just a bit, leaning maybe alittle more into Hill/Davidson; and, Hill ends up with a 700 yard season, 600 for Limar, 600 for Whittington, 300 for Davidson, Moore is on pace for at least 300, and the backs that get the rest of the carries (Harris, Riggs, what Hughes has already given, Moga, plus any WR or TE runs) total 400 (I think realistic), that's 2900 total rushing yards. The last 3 years Oregon has rushed for 2211 yards (14g in 2024), 2583 yards (14g in 2023), and 2805 yards (13g in 2022). Last year was down to 4.6 ypc. Stick with what the staff is doing (fresh legs) I could see it back to around 2023's 6.2 ypc. It currently at 6.3 ypc. Probably needs to be noted, while the NCAA team statistics are still working themselves out to closer to where they will finish due to wildly different OOC scheduling -- it still is interesting to see Oregon's 4 FBS opponents are averaging 88th in rush defense (Montana State is #13 FCS). Currently 6 out of Oregon's 7 remaining scheduled opponents are top 30 in rush defense. Hard to predict what exactly that means but I could see an argument for experienced backs helping.

Yep, I had the misfortune of being at Boise State for the Blount punch but he was eventually reinstated (for the CW and subsequent bowl game I believe) so yes it was short-lived but still a nightmare for opposing defenses.

Where Oregon Ducks Stand As No. 1 Basketball Recruit Tyran Stokes Nears DecisionFive-star small forward recruit Tyran Stokes is the No. 1 prospect from the recruiting class of 2026. Stokes has narrowed down his final schools, but where do the Oregon Ducks stand against the USC Trojans, Kansas Jayhawks, Kentucky Wildcats, and the Louisville Cardinals? Where Oregon Stands With StokesThe Oregon Ducks are making a strong push for the No. 1 recruit and doing as much as they can to land Stokes. Notable Oregon alumnus and Nike co-founder Phil Knight has stepped in to help the Ducks land Stokes, according to a report from Rivals. As the No. 1 high school basketball player from the class of 2026, Stokes signed a major Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL), that could play a role in his recruitment. Stokes signed a multi-year shoe deal with Nike. With the partnership, it could be more likely that Stokes picks a team also associated with Nike, which would knock the Kansas Jayhawks and Louisville Cardinals lower on his list, as they are with Adidas. Oregon, USC, and Kentucky are Nike-sponsored programs, and his NIL deal could give the Ducks an edge.

Indiana Coach Curt Cignetti Doesn't Bite On Oregon Ducks NIL CommentsIndiana Hoosiers coach Curt Cignetti had previously mentioned the Oregon Ducks with Ohio State, Texas and Texas Tech as schools with NIL roster spending of more than $40 million.

Indiana’s OC Mike Shanahan should be on Coach Lanning’s shortlist of potential replacements for Coach Stein. I believe that he runs a RPO offense and has put up a lot of points the last couple of seasons. I wouldn’t necessarily judge his offense against Oregon’s defense.

LaMichael was on the team with Blount in 2009, but Blount ended up being suspended after the Boise game. Not much thunder and lightning in 2009.

Yep, they have dropped from -10.5 to as low as -7.5 on BetMGM this morning. If you take away the -3 Oregon gets for hosting at Autzen, at worst there is still a -4.5 spread.in the minds of bettors. Not necessarily the pro money, but the betting public in general. So as least a FG but not as much as a TD. The biggest concern for Duck fans is will the team be focused. I doubt the betting odds weigh much in DL's game prep and team messaging. The upset fever set by last Saturday, particularly the face plant by PSU, could be a blessing as I can't see OBD overlooking this game or coming in without something to prove.

I wonder how much "expert opinions" affect betting? That's another reason that drives everyone including the mailman to have an opinion. Some just get to spout it on TV. The Oregon - Indiana line opened early Sunday with the Ducks favored by 14. That has diminished greatly. It is now around 7-1/2 to 8. Obviously a lot of money was flowing in on Indiana to win/cover that early spread, so the spread had to narrow to get more money flowing to the Oregon side of the house ledger.

You're right Charles, I do remember that now that you mentioned it, I don't think (I could be totally wrong) we used it quite as much in a single game as we did against PSU, correct me if I'm wrong.

Unfortunately I think Miami is for real, I don't see another loss on their schedule, I certainly don't see two losses. It will be interesting to see who they play in the ACC title game, if they play Georgia Tech I think the Yellow Jackets could upset them. They'll be in the playoff this year. One thing is that I don't think Cristobal is getting in the way of his OC this year, I could be wrong, but that team look like a legit top 5 team. Hope I'm wrong and Charles is right though!

We will be adding Miami to this list, as Cristobal will blow it eventually. How? I'm sure Mario will figure it out...

It is a new/old wrinkle, as we ran it under Helfrich in 2014 with Freeman and Tyner, and then later with Joe Moorhead as OC. The Oregon Offense: The Powerful Moorhead ISO Play
