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.

Why does it feel like the deck is stacked against Oregon every year?

Dante is basically playing like a redshirt freshman (I don't count his year at UCLA, it was a very bad team and Chip Kelly had basically checked out). He's certainly better than he was in the 1st half of the season, whether that's enough to beat IU at this time is anybody's guess.

Not sure how the Raiders are ever going to improve if they keep firing the head coach so quickly.
