Have Novosad and Moga continued to dress and practice with the team throughout the season? I have never heard that either of them was missing practices and I’ve never heard that they are still practicing. Is it still likely that we see one of them subbing at QB should (knock wood) the need arise? Who is the real next man up at quarterback? I like to hope there is the possibility to use one of them or Akili Smith in the playoffs. I’ve never been convinced that Brock Thomas is the most capable player based solely on merit; in case of emergency. I think the opportunity to showcase their ability in the playoffs would probably overwhelm the risk of injury in a playoff game for either Novosad or Moga. This was the year it looked as if Oregon finally had insurance in place in case Moore was injured; in fact, it seemed as if there was a real quarterback competition last Fall between capable candidates. Now where are we? With this team’s horrible history of shoving unprepared backup QB’s into our late-season and Bowl games over the years, are we up the same creek again? Dennis Dixon or Kellen Clemens were hurt late and the team had no one ready to step up. I didn't think we'd be in the same position once again with Lanning in charge but is Thomas really, really the number 2? Thoughts?

OBD wins 38 - 26 1 TO 3 Sacks 198 yards passing

What did he major in?

Is this Thomas's first TD pass?

What the Duck Oregon 50-19 1 3 300

I'm sorry to be the one posting this https://247sports.com/college/oregon/article/oregon-basketball-standout-jackson-shelstad-suffers-broken-hand-255258339/ We can only hope this will make the Ducks stronger

What the duck? Oregon 36-18 3 T/O 2 sacks 190 yards passing

This question may be for the coaches, mathematicians and physicists among us: Our receiver is wide open. He’s found a seam and he’s sitting in it, about 20 yards from the line of scrimmage. He’s not in the center of the field, and the QB is in the pocket, 7 to 10 yards behind the line, so let’s say there are 35-40 yards between them. There are a couple of tall guys someplace around the line of scrimmage. Question: How many seconds will it take for the ball to get from Dante’s hand to the receiver’s face mask?

I'd like to see Novosad. I'd also like to see Whittington get in for a few plays and carries.

It's too early!! 33 - 19 Ducks 3 TDs 3 sacks 280 passing

Oregon 49 - 9 2 TO's 7 sacks 260 yp

I think so

I think so

Shlep is not a bad name for a tight end 😁

Oregon 51 - 18 4 4 270

From AI source: Dakorien Moore, a five-star wide receiver committed to Oregon, is not currently suspended. The news circulating about a suspension refers to Sherrone Moore, the Michigan football coach, who received a self-imposed suspension for the first two weeks of the 2025 season. Dakorien Moore is a highly-touted recruit who flipped his commitment from LSU to Oregon in May 2024. My best to McNutt and I hope he continues to love UO

Evans is an essential piece of the puzzle. Playing next to Bittle again, improving his game, he can rack up a bunch of double-doubles. And his familiarity with Altman's system will be of great value on the court and in building team chemistry. I'm very happy.

So exciting

I am sure that I have underestimated Blair Rasmussen. I was on the East Coast during his era watching Big East basketball and wasn't too excited about post-Dick Harter UO Basketball. I hope that Bittle can surpass him with another year at UO. As for whether Bittle or Dante is better, I'm leaning to toward Bittle. Dante was more spectacular; Bittle is more well-rounded.

Is Nate Bittle the best center ever for the Ducks? Who is the best center ever to play for the Ducks? Like Bittle, N’Faly Dante didn’t get much of a chance to put up stats prior to his senior year. With one big year each, both need to be considered in the mix in my mind. Last year, watching N’faly Dante play at the end of the season, the way he had to face a different talented giant night after night, the way he fought and pushed and shoved underneath to hold the position, and the way he succeeded -- scoring an average of 16.8 points per game and 8.8 rebounds in his last dozen games for the Ducks, I had to wonder at the time if he was the best center the Ducks have ever had. It’s too bad he wasn’t able to return to the team for another season; I still don’t understand why that request was refused. He played so well I expected him to make more of an impression in the NBA immediately than he has. Now this year, here is what Bittle is doing in his past dozen games -- Going into MSU he's averging: 15.8 points per game, 7.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.6 rebounds. Bittle also shoots well from 3-point range and from the foul line. He doesn’t seem to push or get pushed as much as Dante did; he has a savvier game, better footwork, more experience. To my surprise, I am coming to see Bittle as a better all-around center then Dante. UO doesn't seem to have had a great many stars at the Center position. A quick search lists Slim Wintermute, Blair Rasmussen, Greg Ballard, Jordan Bell, and Chris Boucher. I have seen them all except Wintermute I don't think either Ballard, Bell or Boucher was a true center, and I don't know if Rasmussen was as good as either. They were all great players but I think that the choice for best center ever actually comes down to last year’s Dante and this year’s Bittle with my choice being Nate Bittle. Kind of a surprising conclusion, but let’s enjoy his great play. Who knows, he might even be back next season.
