Indiana played their best game against us... Hats off to the champs. 2 years in a row we lose to the champs. Let's change that next year.

Indiana

3 TO

4 Sacks

303 yards passing

Welcome to the Forum! Clever name, if I may add. Good luck today!

People need more time to save up for the exorbitant ticket prices.

Eh… I’m not overly concerned about Hampton as DC. Mehringer, on the other hand, is more of a wait-and-see situation… and probably a pray-and-hope one as well. His stop at Rutgers resulted in a 127th-ranked offense, though to be fair, that was back in 2016, which is nearly a decade ago, as mentioned. You’d like to think a coach can learn and evolve a lot over that span, and maybe he has.

That said, his time at New Mexico as QB coach in 2021 is a much more recent data point, and that passing offense also finished 127th nationally, which is not a great look. It raises a fair question about how much of OBD’s offensive success this year can truly be attributed to Mehringer versus Stein and the talent and system already in place.

I’m willing to give him the opportunity to prove it this season, but if the offense doesn’t show real progress, I think that becomes a pretty clear sign of what the future may hold.

I wonder if we'll see him in a Kentucky uniform.

Doesn't look like an NFL QB to me. Not sure playing another season will really matter. Who is going to help improve him on Oregon's staff anyway?

My question exactly. DL had better hire an outstanding QB coach

Dante needs another year.

I’m really starting to doubt this logic…

Would you have the players and coaches share your outlook? Be positive, my duck brother.

It's clear to me that Lanning has made positive strides every year. I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt next year.

I agree with you fwiw.

People are upset right now and rightfully so. In a game where we couldn't make mistakes, we made the biggest mistakes of the season.

Coach Cig won't have a roster full of seniors his staff has been coaching for the last five years forever.

Oh yeah, for sure. I'm disgusted by this performance, but it doesn't define the entire season or the direction the program is going. I mean, I for one am extremely optimistic about what's coming up. I think the Ducks could win it all next year. I really do. It's going to be very fun to watch.

Yes, and it's been looking bright for many many years.

Its one thing to lose a competitive game. It's another when the doors get blown off in consecutive years by two different teams. That suggests a trend.

You guys make valid points. However, I think it's important to distinguish that I was not saying that the Ducks are doing good. I'm not saying that they're world beaters. I'm not saying any of that. I'm just saying that we as Duck fans should not hang our heads because we have had a good season. We've gone really far. We're one of the top four teams and the future is looking bright. All of these young players on this team right now are getting valuable experience. And just because we haven't won at all before, that does not mean that we can never win at all.

Some would argue that it also has a bit to do with us stepping all over our stuff, from the first play of the game, and so far, up until halftime.

Well, I would hope nobody would argue with me, because there's really nothing to argue with, unless you're not a Duck fan, I guess. However, I agree, they could have done a lot better in this game, but it doesn't take away from what they've accomplished, and the future is looking pretty bright.

Hey I just want to point out to everyone here that it's not the end of the world and our team is really really really really good. It's just that Indiana is unbelievably good this year. They have beaten everyone. And they will smash Miami. Hold your heads high and be proud duck fans.

Well there's always next year. I hope Indiana keeps the title in the B1G. I have no doubts that they can beat Miami.

Oregon has to win it all now.

None of this aged well... lmao!

Haha, two of those guys at least are transferring out of the program, so...

Anybody seen Mario's family?

Now we gotta listen to all the idiots who are gonna say that Miami is the greatest team ever and they beat Ohio State. Blah blah blah. But we all know that Ohio State just did not come to play.

Makes you wonder how many Ohio State players got caught looking ahead to the draft.

#1 defense.... pshhh.

Just have to wait for the run game to stop working so that Mario will forcibly try it up the gut every time.

Is there any way that both of these teams can lose?




....Asking for a friend.

Seems if Mario has got tOSU's number...
