Equally impressive was the simple post on 'X' of Sauphia Lanning... Herself and the three boys, on the sideline, dressed in green/yellow, with a giant, 'GO DUCKS', spelled out in the grandstand behind them.

USC head coach Lincoln Riley drops $17.2M on Palos Verdes Estates’ mansion – Daily Breeze
WWW.DAILYBREEZE.COM
The seven-bedroom, 13,032-square-foot home sits behind gates on more than 3 acres in the Lunada Bay/Margate neighborhood.That's in another tax bracket than $7 million, but point stands... All flash, and no bang for their buck so far, on this USC hire.

"Oregon’s pass rush caused a sack, scramble, or throwaway on over half of USC’s dropbacks, which is the highest rate I’ve ever seen in a single game. Most of that was well earned, though I think on a few the quarterback abandoned the pocket for his own improvisation pretty eagerly. As well he might: just six out-of-structure plays produced over 59% of all yards USC gained outside of garbage time. Still, as explosive and mind-boggling as he can be when improvising, on a per-play basis Oregon’s defense was successful at containing the quarterback when he broke the pocket or they got into the backfield at a 61.5% rate."
The numbers in this article don't include what the author considers, "garbage time".

I've contended for years that there is such a thing as "enough" for some people... And been told I'm delusional, at best (Other, shall we say, less complimentary terms have been used on several occasions.).
I believe Dan Lanning 'gets it' in a way many people don't understand.
He wants to raise a great family, and provide for them a great environment to thrive.
That seems to be his primary objective.
Too many people fail to realize that finding an environment that facilitates that goal, while allowing the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of a job like he currently occupies, is superior to being in the position of potentially seeing your dream uprooted, along with the inherent stress that places on the family.
Keep up the good work Coach! I'm rooting for you to have as long a run at Oregon as you and your beautiful family wish to enjoy!

Of course you know David, that I lapped up every word of your article, and savored every sweet tingle I received as I read it. No love from me for the Trojans!
Trying to emerge again USC?
Here, let me help...
Now that's a put down of epic proportions...

Any wonder young men will run through walls for this guy?
I fully expect outstanding effort from his team this week!

At these pay levels, it shouldn't make a difference, but Oregon's cost of living is rated 10% higher than Texas.
Having been to parts of Texas, I'd choose Oregon's Willamette Valley based on the weather, alone.

I don't see an potential boat race happening unless the Beavitch D somehow breaks Michael Penix prior to the end of the second quarter.

But... I was positive MariNo-0 would be a top candidate!

Riddle me this... How does a staffer on a $50,000/year salary pay for tickets to the majority of games, over a multi season period, pay for travel expenses, tickets, room and board for said observation?
Slushy funds, booster shots, or begging on the streets?

I think the best term to describe the coming games is throttle. We will be going into the games with the pedal to the metal, full throttle.
We will also throttle each of the coming opponents like a boa constrictor. A boa doesn't suffocate as much as constricts the blood supply, and then the opponent drops.
The way this team is playing the term throttle should scare the living daylights out of each team. A top defense and a top offense while improving each week. Once they are within striking distance, it is going to be over!
A throttling Duck D is the key from here on out, IMO. Foot on the throat, start to finish. Choke the opposing offense into submission.
No Mercy.

If I'm ESPN, Oregon would lose because the other guys are making money for ME!
Ducks have been relegated to Larry's Loser Lounge broadcast far too often this season.

Charles you nailed it on how many points per game are needed to be a decent team. We are seeing what Lannings vision is on defense WOW!
I was a season ticket holder when Dan Fouts was quarterback, and when Dick Enright was Head Coach. I've have been a Duck fan through it all. I loved the Chip Kelly years, hated the Cristobal years.
I have to admit, this is fun. Simply watching a team ready to play every week is fun. To get to watch a team that the coach has completely ready to play is FUN!
I hope USC comes out playing great on offense and defense, and that The Ducks kick their butts all over the field.
I love it
Back in the old days of 13-7, eh?
I reemember a few of those... Enjoy this! And Don't forget, Oregon was a leader in creating this era of monster scores!

Well, the firing of Grinch is a bit of a wrinkle to my original post, putting an asterisk on it to say the least.
There is only one week here, so the scheme can't be changed to any substantial degree for Klein to worry about, the players can't be developed.
Maybe a few stupid calls during the game gets changed. Some tendencies may change. Perhaps they simplify the scheme to focus on attacking the ball.
My biggest concern is USC having a hope as a result of a fresh start and coming out on fire. Football is so mental.
I thought the USC AD went mental when they decided to throw the bank at Riley and then allowed the hiring of Grinch... But, what do I know?

Hmmm... Spoiled Children+Coordinated D+discipline would be concerning... hahahaha.

Probably some goofball trying to pronounce it the way the historical (or is it hysterical?) Info signs on the I5 crossing you can see Autzen from... Whil-ah-moot, or something silly like that. Modern academics trying to phonetically spell the native (calapooya?) version of the word.

I may have to go to a bar to watch... DISH hasn't had a FOX contract since last year.

Dangit, Jim... I wanted the Grinch, not some Johnny Come Lately who might have a clue!
Surely, folks don't think LR can stumble onto a cohesive defensive strategy in one week?
Wait! What??? They're after Lupoi???
I guess the, "Flop if you're tired" strategy could be installed by anyone, in a week.

The nature if College Football teams is that the reveal themselves as the season goes on. They get better or they get worse. Part of that is because 18 year olds aren't done growing and maturing, Physically and mentally. Learning and being disciplined in anything is a growing aspect for these teenagers. They are extremely emotional and can give up rather quickly. A team can be lost.
U$C is on the verge of a complete melt down. It hasn't happened yet. All their losses have been close. Oregon as a team has gotten better. Its obvious the Team as a whole is understanding their individual roles and the Coaching is exceptional.
The bottom line is that when you plug in those metrics then you have a probability of a lop sided game that can make the fragile team fall off the map. A complete team gaining steam against a team losing their dream. Oregon beats U$C 45-24 and then U$C gives up on the season. Not that they won't win any more games, but their dream is over.
Gasp... !?! LR is only (mentally) 18 years old???
That explains a lot!

I remember "Fright Night"... "I don't know if we made a statement, this is just what we planned on doing," Masoli said. "If it makes a statement it makes a statement. That's just Oregon football and how we roll."
This 2023 Oregon team seems vastly more capable than that one was.

If Stein and DL tell us Ty is the guy next season, I am inclined to agree until proven otherwise.
Something leads me to believe the only way someone starts at QB with those two in charge, is by earning it.
Dan Lanning doesn't seem like the sort of boss who responds well to smoke blown in close proximity to his nether regions. (Hope that wasn't over the line!)

What Happened to Innovative Chip?
in Our Beloved Ducks
Posted
Oregon's defense was plenty good enough except for not playing through the whistle on one play against a quality opponent in their first MCG appearance, ever.
Without the innovative offense of CK, we don't get to the game in the first place.
Certainly their were missed (egregious) calls or poor discipline among the officiating crew, but stop Dyer by hitting him until the whistle finally blows, and the Ducks likely had the Crystal Ball within their grasp.
