I was wondering when the official announcement was going to come. That being said, I have a ton of questions that will hopefully be answered in the coming months: Both are excellent position coaches, I wonder if development in those respective positions will suffer since they're now performing two roles at once? Will defensive line recruiting take a step back without Lupoi? Will TEs have a more prominent role in the offense with Mehringer at the helm? Will they hire a QB coach+passing coordinator? Will the offense feature an enhanced passing game? Bring back the bird bombs!

Gary Bryant Jr. is also out of eligibility after 6 seasons. He wasn't a lights out receiver but steady and reliable when needed, I think he's good enough to at least get onto a practice squad in the NFL somewhere.

This will be Ayedin Breeland's and Elijah Rushing's time to work into the 2 deep and show what their development over the last couple years has yielded.

Not surprised at all. Jamari Johnson has shown he's got what it takes to be TE1. Depth behind him is a concern, Andrew Olesh will need to show that he developed well over his redshirt year.

I hope he's healthy and not injury-prone.

Probably why Blake Purchase just hit the portal.

If Dante leaves for the NFL I would prefer Leavitt over Raiola. If Dante stays then Raiola since he's indicated the willingness to sit for a year. At the end of the day the chips will just fall where they may and Drew will need to adjust appropriately. That being said, if they're running the same offense next season I feel like it does better with a true dual threat QB. Nix did it the best, Gabriel was pretty good too. Dante unfortunately is a pure pocket passer, he doesn't do much with his legs other than a handful of designed QB runs and even then he's pretty slow despite him not being a huge guy.

High quality QB coach who can also be the passing coordinator.

Honestly I think he needs 2 more years.

This. Every time I've seen Dante's face this season I haven't seen any kind of look in his eye that signals killer instinct like we've seen with Bo and Dillon. No snarl, no angry look. Just deer in headlights.

I think Jamari Johnson and Sadiq are going to be incredibly important in the red zone this game..

Really wish we weren’t in the hole from the get go. They need to score on this one.

What exactly is Dante looking at? That defender was dangerously close to the receiver. The very first play he throws an INT. Ridiculous.

I hope the OL woke up on the wrong side of the bed and play angry.

That might work with cherry flavored antacids. Aaaah, old man life…

Well, time to break open my Costco-sized bottle of antacids. Game time!

Or a La Quinta Inn!

I hope Noah had enough bedrest the last 2 nights to be close to 100%.

Oregon 24-21 1 3 278

Still sucks for players since it's so late, most spots on teams will be already taken up by other transfers.

If Oregon makes it to the championship game, I think that will be played on January 19th. Transfer portal closes on January 16th so Harris would be gone by then (unless for some reason he decides to withdraw his name from the portal and stay at Oregon).

Running back group. In particular Noah Wittingham and Jay Harris (assuming he plays).

That’s really surprising, he showed quite a bit of improvement this season from last. What would be hilarious is if Dante opted for the draft and he transferred to Eugene. The Fusky fans would lose their minds.

I hope Coach Hampton is emphasizing with the DBs to start knocking those extended arms down every time.
