Nice article Charles! IMO coach has the grey matter to get the job done. He has that working list of coaches he has worked/wants to work with and has built a great staff. The recruiting has not dropped off since the last two Florida phonies. He has developed the players better than the last two. He has learned from his missteps--unlike the last two.
There appears to be no ceiling with coach which will only show the players that they too have none. We have seen true freshman play and thrive in this system. If OBD have them for three or more seasons under this NIL umbrella? We will see more playoffs than not!
I usually give three years for a new coach but DL has proven in 1.5 that he's the next big thing at Oregon. The B1G got the best deal picking up Oregon and Washington! Thanks uncle Phil for making it happen!!

Yes, maybe GK has learned to schedule times for the best teams in the Pac earlier in the day so the rest of the country can have a look-see? Dumbluck? I hope to never see the top 4 teams in the pac play an "afterdark" game the rest of the season! That is just promotional idiocy.

He actually looked like he was admiring our cheerleaders just as the truck ran over him.
I was sitting in section 19 and watched the defender. I thought he was looking up in the stands and then he turned to see green jersey and then grey skies...
Hi might have been admiring and awe of the crowd in Autzen and considering a transfer to Oregon before getting blown up?!

UW stumble on the road to hang on for a win against lowly ASU.
Fuskies were actually at home and nearly lost to the Devils...but attribute that to Penix being hurt from the week before and ASU continuing to hit Penix. Every team that gets to him from now on will have a better chance to beat them!
The Ducks were trying on their new shoes Nike Air Cement in the first quarter and decided to play with lighter ones for the rest of the game...

Again, I think he was hurt in the UofO game by the hits he took.
I agree with this statement! Penix was in pain by the middle of the 4th against OBD. If the Beavis continue to hit him he will not be available for Fuskies v OBD in Lost Wages!!

... "We believe in building success, not buying it"...
I love the fact that they DON'T acknowledge that PK donates money to their school (UW and WSU too). When UO, UW, And UU make big bowls they bring additional money to the coffers! OSU has had how many big bowl appearances? How have they contributed these last 20 years? Maybe they are the true Oregon team...of the 80s.

It's what all Beavs and Cougs are hoping happens...My question for Beavs is why did it take until last year for your administration to invest in the sport that makes other college sports possible?? What did you do with all the money the conference was getting since 2000,? Saving it up because you didn't want to be in debt and now you want to take the money away from the other schools that have earned it for the conference?

One loss Pac team should make it but we've have been on the outside before. FSU v UO would be great but I would prefer Miami! Hey coach let's see if you can out coach Dan??

Hec Cincy and Houston would have won their fair share of PAC games.
Maybe? As crappy as the Pac is, it still manages to dash the hopes of any team trying to make the playoffs...Preparing to play one or two teams a year isn't a big deal (UO v tOSU) but the season grind is different. I don't think either of those teams make it through a nine game schedule here unscathed.

Bama embarrassed this great Georgia defense. Looking forward to see how and if the Georgia D can earn that redemption......
Yes, they looked pedestrian against Bama. They looked great last night but is that just an indictment against the great Harbaugh team from the B1G?
I'm hoping the Utes make tOSU look bad in the Rose Bowl but I'm not holding my breath. The Pac12 just looks like a group of five conference.
Did anyone see the sign one of the Cincy fans was holding? Something about P5 schools and that 13-0 is still their record. Welcome to the big time! Too bad your team didn't show up! Saban is all about adjustments...

probably the most disappointing 10-win season I can remember.
Still can't wait for 2022, cautiously optimistic as usual, but man I'm glad this season in the rear-view mirror.
Isn't that saying a lot??! I too am cautiously optimistic. I will be in GA for the first game of '22.

For any Duck fan that would like to watch an old game for pure joy, this is one I'd definitely recommend putting on your list
That team was amazing and it was Chip's first season at Oregon.

Next time won’t be a slap on the wrist.
Funny how only non-SEC schools care about violations. Didn't one or more of the SEC schools just tell the NCAA that they were not going to abide by the sanctions?
The NCAA only has as much teeth as the schools/league allows. They might as well just have Disney be the governing body of all college sports...E S P N

NS hardly ever came out of any game. He was hurt a few times and wasn't allowed back. He was on the field more than any other defender, that I remember seeing. Kid is a beast.
Flowe is good but his sample size is very small comparatively. He has been hurt early into two seasons.
I would take nine Sewells over one Flowe or even KT.

Just like some other posters, I don't like this move. Bo was/is very inconsistent. I guess we'll see if what happens to the QB room in the next couple of months.

Ducks have the potential to be a final 2 team...will they realize it against Baylor? Nope.

We would be in the playoffs if we had had a better OC.
IMO the OC(s) were NEVER the problem. It was always the HC wanting play calls that he wanted to see. We blamed Arroyo when he was OC but the plays up the middle never changed from one coordinator to the next.

I'm so glad Mario is gone.
Sadly I wanted Mario gone two years ago because I saw the "writing" on the wall about his offense. I talked with a co-worker, who I tailgate with, and he said I was an idiot...fast forward to this year and that same person was one of the people who booed the coaching staff at Autzen.
Great recruiting aside, MC was listening to too much Bruce Springsteen and reminiscing about his "Glory Days."

You need an Alpha like a Brooks or Pritchard! With the current rosters of Betas a team can't fully excel. The women have the same issue. Guaranteed if Sabrina was on the women's or Brooks was on the men's team that either team would lose games in this fashion! These two teams have great talent!!

What is Division Street headed by Sabrina and created by Phil Knight and company?

Yes, we will see if Moorhead's offense was that bad or if he was just coaching as his head coach required. I believe it will be the latter.
I can't wait to see Miami, in their first offensive snap, next season lined up in the pistol...

This was lost on Liesure Suit Larry! As I have said before the top teams in the Pac should NEVER play a late game so they have exposure. The only reason the Pac was ever overlooked is no one in the Eastern time zones watched because of the knucklehead at the too!
We now don't have to worry about it but LSL did fleece the Pac for revenue...
