    It's bye weekend and without an actual game to ponder, I've been thinking about how good the Ducks actually are. Statistically, the Oregon D is very good but lurking just below the stats is some info they may make them elite. In the category of points allowed per game in the BIG, OBD find themselves in fourth place behind tOSU, Indy and Iowa. Oregon has given up 85 points in the BIG and 108 over all. If you brake that down between qtrs 1-3 and the 4th separately, some interesting info emerges. Below, I've done just that.

    Team Qtrs 1-3 4 Total

    Mon St  6  7  13

    Ok St  0  3  3

    NW  0 14 14

    OSU  7  0  7

    PSU  3 14 17 excludes OT points

    IU  20 10 30

    Rut  3  7  10

    Wis  0  7  7

     

    Total  39 62 101

    BIG Totals 26 52 78

    Some conclusions.

    OBD have given up only 26 points in 15 quarters (5 games quarters 1-3) against BIG competition. That's less than 2 points per quarter.

    Two thirds of the total points given up against the BIG have been in the 4th quarter.

    Of the 52 fourth quarter points given up, only 24 were with the game still in doubt (Indy and PSU).

    I've never seen defensive numbers like these for the Ducks. If the offense can find more consistency and the D holds steady, this may be a championship caliber team.

    This is the D I wished for when Chip Kelly first came to Oregon...

    We still have coaches on a pretty short leash.

    Helfrich wasn't given the anywhere near the same amount of wiggle room Bellotti got.

    Cristobal brought in highly ranked classes which bought him some room and he got a freebe from the 2020 season. Yes we won the Pac-12 but if that was a full season I think we would have been. Quite disappointed at the level we were with the 2021 season. Cristobal does just good enough to bring hope..

    Lanning has done a fantastic job in all parts of the program.

    But I think Oregon fans are only two under performing seasons away from calling for his head. Fan bases have absolutely zero patience and ADs feel a lot of pressure especially from boosters.

    If Uncle Phil is happy then Lanning is safe more than anything. He'd be one of the people to pay the buyout if it ever comes to that.

    With all that said... I really really really hope it never comes to that.

    I'm just being realistic as looking at some other Duck forums out there are calling for coaches to be fired after a couple bad performances. Our fan base is really not too different than that of LSU, Penn State or Florida. Just FishDuck is a nice little corner of the fan base.

    Remember... My posting privileges have been banned elsewhere for posting a FishDuck article that a few angry fans didn't like.

    I honestly cant remember the last time I posted on another Duck forum... I used to want multiple sites including several where I observed Ser PoissonCanard was reviled on multiple occasions.(myself on a lesser basis... I dont understand football well enough to back up my position with logical, factual, reasoning to make a dent in the arguments of most guys who have played the game)

    I enjoy the general comraderie found here on a daily basis.

    I like how James Franklin described the Oregon program as having great resources. It wasn't just money he was talking about. He was also describing all of the marketing and brand management help our players get from having Nike in our back pocket. These guys who think Oregon just buys players are speaking from a place of ignorance and envy.

    I was thinking, "What is, well managed NIL, for $1000, Alex", when I read that.
