Georgia throttled Oregon last week. We know that fact. The 33-0 Georgia win today raises some questions. How could Samford allow less points scored than Oregon? Did Georgia just let their bench play from the 2nd quarter on? Did Kirby's game plan mean to take it easy on Samford? Was Oregon just that terrible last week? Or was Georgia just amazingly on point? I didn't watch the game, but it looks like Bennet, and the 1's played most of the game. Playing down to the competition? Oregon obviously won big today, and BYU is currently tied with Baylor,... So next week is looking like a really big game. A telling game. Georgia plays South Carolina next week. A middling team last year, who just lost to Ark. So we'll get a better idea of that team. BYU , win or lose today, will undoubtedly be looking for a win over Oregon next week. BYU just took the lead. 🥺 I'm asking so many questions because of the amount of uncertainty on any given Saturday. College Football is crazy, and anyone can win big, or lose big any given week. I'm just trying to get some semblance of what to expect this year, based on the performance of this year's opponents. It's proving to be a challenge. I feel like I'm rambling (too much celebration juice ☺️), so I'll end this post with one question... What's your take on this team, and how do you see them performing this year? As always, Go Ducks!!

Nope. Let's hope he's ok.

This season in all will be mediocre, at best. It's what to expect when you have a new system on every side of the ball, an entire new staff, and a handful of transfers learning the "Oregon way" (Whatever that is anymore). I saw this game for what it was gonna be. I said a while back that Georgia was on another level. Period. It's easy to see. They have top tier talent all over. They have a proven system that they know flawlessly, and can execute to perfection. The coaching staff know DL intimately, and prolly Tosh, as well. They had answers to everything we did, seemingly. And tore apart our well known defense. This game would have had a different outcome had our staff been in year 4 or 5, imho (Although, probably still a loss). We are in for a rollercoaster of a season, at least until things really start to gel. But give it time OBD faithful.... We'll get back to our winning ways. As always, Go Ducks!

I fear yet another season of all bark, no bite.

This is why I didn't jump on the delusional bandwagon. Let's hope for good conference play.

Mhmm.... Sure. Something tells me he really enjoyed finishing each analysis of Oregon's potential depth chart with a confident "but not against so-n-so Georgia player". The trouble is, he's probably mostly right. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I'm not sure who said it, but I read somewhere that even a loss for Oregon will gain them experience simply but just playing against the best competition, and seeing first hand how a championship program is put together. Let's hope, as Duck fans, that there's more to cheer about than just that. Go Ducks!!!!

That was me who said that. I stand by it.

There's talkin' smack... And then there's just plain old being rude. I'm happy the fans who post here know the difference. (It helps to have fantastic moderators, as we do!) I love the Ducks, but am not delusional. When they win big again, and against the absolute best opponent, then I will be more willing to call out a win where one shouldn't be. I hope for zero injuries, and for everyone to have a very fun game. If they win, I'll eat crow.... And love it!

Oregon doesn't measure up to Georgia. Period. However, I feel like this team is headed in the right direction, and perhaps if there had been a home & home, then Oregon would have given the bulldogs a good fight in the second series. But this year, too many unknowns, and variables working against the ducks. I don't see it happening this year. Not under the current circumstances.

Robert Nkemdiche cut. Wasn't that guy #1 recruit at one point?

Typical USC fan in that picture. 🙄

He looks like a man among boys out there in his Highlight video Hope the coaches can take that potential and turn him into another Dorlus.

Great article!

I love how Oregon still lists Spencer Webb as a member of the team.

Jonathan Flowe listed as a DB? When did that happen?

Twitter is blowing up. Multiple reports of his passing. Nothing confirmed.

I hope this isn't true but... https://www.kezi.com/news/22-year-old-dead-after-falling-hitting-head-at-rock-slides-near-triangle-lake/article_9603b4d8-031e-11ed-ade8-6beaaa2d4bff.html

Hard to believe that Justin and Sabrina were in Eugene at the same time, and now they are both lighting up their respective sports. 🦆♥️

So there's that.

This makes you wonder if this comes to fruition, if it will result in a few universities dropping their football programs all together. It's a pity but it seems to be the trend in the world these days... The big get bigger while the small get weeded out.

Whatever gets the clicks. Pretty sure Uncle Phil has a little more savvy than that. It's amazing the garbage some people will speculate in order to get page views. It's my belief that Oregon will be fine wherever they end up because it's a strong brand, a strong program, with a strong upward direction at the moment.

My fat thumb hit "independent" when I meant "stay in the pac". Perhaps that can be fixed? I'm sentimental about the Ducks staying in the pac and making it work. That may not be the best direction for the program, but that's why I'm not in charge of those decisions. I lead with my heart. I'm confident that the best decision will be made by the powers that be. So long as we win when we play against Washington, Oregon State, USC, .... I'll be content.

Great conversation, fellas! I know Oregon will beat the purple puppies come next February (and November 12th!). I just honestly hate those leg lifters sooo much that it pains me to see them higher than the Ducks on any (good) list, even if the view is skewed. Awesome comments from an awesome community of posters. I love it ... almost as much as I love our Ducks!

Lanning didn't exactly knock one out of the park in the 2022 recruiting class where the D line is concerned. A couple of 3*'s, a 4*, and a trio of 3* transfers. Add that to the mix of what we already have, and we are looking at decent depth building. This year, we've got a 3* on the list, but it's early yet. I'm hoping for some 4/5* studs to join the flock and change the direction of defense for our program. Time will tell.

I just published a post a few minutes ago expressing my concerns on the recruiting ranking matter. Then I read this post, and the comments. I feel put at ease now.
