    Who teaches these guys cover responsibility?  Safeties always focus on deep routes first.  ANOTHER example of looking at the QB instead of the guy you should find and cover.  The focus is taking away options, not guessing where the QB will throw the ball. 

    That's something I've noticed quite a lot with the linebackers and secondary, they're constantly staring at the QB and never paying attention to their surroundings. It's frustrating to watch.

    I think the Ducks are playing better when not hurrying up on offense. The rush is getting it done. They look more composed then.

     

    Coach DeBoar is the most under composed FBS Coach I've seen this year. He looks really nervous.

     

    Fundamental football can beat the Pups. No need to out trick them.

     

     

    Agree, just pound the rock and beat the pups into submission!

    The long-term impact of your words is immeasurable for Oregon fans.  It is fun watching Duck football now, and will be even better with the Lanning/Lupoi defense fully installed in future years.

    I can't wait for DL years 3 and 4 when he and Lupoi are primarily working with players they recruited.  It should be a lot of fun to watch that defense.

    OBD definitely have a legit shot at the CFP.  That being said, all they can do is control what they can control which is win out (yes I'm stating the obvious).  There are head-to-head matchups between teams and inter-conference play in the top 5-6 that will definitely affect standings depending on who wins/loses, so crossing my fingers but staying focused on the immediate objective: spank the Fuskies!

    Personally I'm also thinking that the Pac will need to expand even further.  Bring in SDSU but also UNLV, SMU, and either Fresno St. or Boise St.  If the UC regents somehow force UCLA to stay then Fresno/Boise aren't needed.  We already have the 4 corner state universities, pulling in UNLV and SMU makes sense to expand exposure and recruiting blueprint into the SW and Texas.  Imagine how many recruits would see Oregon games on regular basis if they're playing in Dallas?

    At 6'3" isn't he a little short?  Don't the coaches all want 6'4 and above nowadays?  Maybe he'll grow another inch or two.

    Doug Flutie would give you the stink eye right now!  lol  6'3" is perfectly fine.  Talent and confidence matters more than physical traits, though it helps to have them all.

    I'm not adverse to the smaller size of their stadium, that can easily be made up by the enthusiasm of the fan base.  According to the article, that enthusiasm seems to be coming in spades.  I'd rather have a smaller venue jam-packed with a raucous crowd than the tumble-weed infested lands that inhabit the Rose Bowl when UCLA plays their home games...

    While he shares some similarities with DAT, he clearly doesn't have the same physical abilities (otherwise he would have been a 5* ATH recruit like DAT).  While he showed some potential in the Spring game, overall he hasn't shown the same elusiveness and breakaway speed that DAT routinely showcased during his time at Oregon.  The only obvious spot he would fit into would probably be slot receiver but that's currently occupied by the more experienced Hutson.  I think he may transfer.
