Darn you Jeff! Oregon reportedly losing key support staffer to SEC program SATURDAYOUTWEST.COM Oregon is losing one of its top sports performance assistants to an SEC program.

This one IMHO is quietly important. We need a replacement for Evan Bennett and Andrew could be it.

Given CU's inability to develop quite literally any of the OL this season it'll be interesting to see what happens with him.

I surmise that Moore really means that wants to be developed *while* he starts...so I doubt he'll come to Oregon to sit behind Gabriel. OBD bringing in just Gabriel is the most likely scenario, I just don't know if TT will stick around for that at this point. Feels like a 50/50 shot he'll go into the portal and Novasad becomes QB2 by default.

Evidently development is not high on this kid's list of priorities. Good luck to him.

Well deserved, LaMichael was an absolute beast on the field!

Yeah, it was a rather quiet exit, easy to miss.

Nope, he already transferred out. Just Florance now.

You can definitely see why Dan Lanning recruited hard at DL and DB the last two cycles.

30 passing TDs vs 6 INTs, not bad. Add to that 12 rushing TDs, that's plenty of offense to bring to OBD. He was sacked 16 times this season though, so behind Oregon's stellar OL he would have even better stats I would think.

This one's a bit of a surprise.

A good senior season highlight reel of Dillon. Things I noticed: - Solid pocket presence. He doesn't panic when the pocket collapses, his foot speed looks similar to Nix however when scrambling feels more elusive like Vernon. - Despite being listed at 5'11" his arm strength and accuracy would be more than sufficient for Will Stein's bird bomb plays.

Cautious optimism from me given that it's a visit, not a commitment. That being said, if things work out he could be a better version of Vernon Adams. I'll take that all day long.

He'd obviously be a HUGE pick up and I hope it happens. DL also should do what he can to pick up Walter Nolen.

I think Arroyo was a better OC than most people give credit for. He was primarily stuck under MC's insistence on a ridiculously bad power run scheme...like the rest of the MC's coordinators, he did the best he could under that dark cloud and left as soon as possible.

Yup. Pac12 gets $4 million for Oregon getting into the Fiesta bowl.

Dillon Gabriel would be a really interesting get, in Will Stein's offense he would turn into a monster.

Something also to consider: DeBoer has been coaching for ages and may have reached his apex. Lanning is only in his 2nd year as HC and has come up short by an average of only 3 points....3. One coach is more likely than the other to keep improving significantly over the next 5 years. I like Oregon's position right now.

I get the feeling that Bucky was playing with an undisclosed injury. He just did not look like his dynamic self. Jordan James did ru more effectively but for reasons that escape me he wasn’t given more carries when Bucky was clearly struggling.

Theoretically the game should be over by halftime. That means TT and maybe even Austin Novasad will get the entire 2nd half to run the 1st/2nd string offense.

What happened in that room? I'm picturing a bunch of monkeys standing around a table flinging poop at each other.

I think DL respects Bo enough to let him make his own decisions and not force him towards any particular way. He's very much an ultra-competitive gamer like Bo so I just don't see a benching happening.

I see where you're coming from. But my sense is that Bo's pride and self-respect won't allow him to go out on a bad note, even with NFL dollars on the line. He just loves football that much, which I commend him for. P.S. I will also surmise that he's talked to and gotten support from his wife on this...which tells me that he has married well 🙂

Snippet from the article NJDuck posted above: Sounds like there are definitely other starters/seniors that are going to play in the bowl, so it won't be a skeleton crew on the field New Year's Day.
