Some coaches do have the ability to lift players ability's and some don't. Utah does have that ability however USC, right now does not. I would like to see more of that ability here at Oregon and am hoping Joe Moorhead and our new defensive coach can bring that about. MC by himself does not seem to be really great at it.

Good information coach. "Mr. March", or as most of you know him, Coach Altman seems to come around during the month of March. I would not start worrying about "The Boys" until after the start of that Month.

It will be really interesting to see what DeRuyter can do with Oregon's talent level.

I thought JTT was a 100% for Ohio State ?? Any late news on him ??

What a fun time to be a Duck. Looking forward to the QB battle. I've had enough of the old and hope we can move on to the "next generation"

The question is "is USC done ??" And where will we be Nationally ?? With all these great recruiting classes year after year now we've got to start seeing some good results soon. Like a National title run.

I agree, I think White's teams always seemed to reach a plateau that he could never get them over.

Interesting article 30Duck, thanks for bringing it to us.

Got to win the games first. (All of them) Then comes the trophy and rings. (Hope we are both talking about the National Title.)

Interesting details of the DeRuyter defense coach. Definitely more complicated then I ever thought. Lots of variations and flexibility here. It truly is "fun to learn about our beloved Ducks".

It only matters in March.

Or if your Alabama, hire everyone and sort it out later.

C.J. feel free to start a baseball topic or two in the forum. We'd love to here more baseball from you.

Exactly

Coach Graves: "I think it did her some good to take the weekend off and she probably shouldn't have played her on Friday, but we did, because she hadn't practiced all week. We just made that decision today going because it wasn't worth it and we need to get her healthy." Coach Graves should know better then to play an injured player. Bad decision. He doesn't make many but he did on this.

An emotional commitment.

Right we need someone to come in and take control and show how it's done.

The Oregonian just stated that Byron Cardwell committed to Oregon, and likely clinches Pac-12 Conference recruiting title. Per The Oregonian: For more than a year it has been clear the Oregon Ducks football program was poised to sign a historic 2021 recruiting class. The interest from high-level prospects was apparent early, and the West Coast featured enough talent to ensure a top-10 finish if Mario Cristobal and his coaching staff could capitalize. In December that mission was largely realized, as Oregon signed 21-of-21 verbal commitments to secure the top recruiting class in program history, a collection of talent rated No. 6 nationally.

You can't win a title without good D, period.

I don't have any stats but to me I don't think our QB ran the ball very much last year.

Hayward has been around the Pac-12 for a long time now, this will be his 5th Pac-12 school. Good Luck.

With the money the NCAA makes off of college sports, I think they know it's not "amateur athletics" as you and I would understand it. However it's amateur athletics as they would like to understand it.

Very interesting article Joshua, thanks. You mentioned Byron Cardwell has a jump step that he uses during his running to help get around the defense, this reminds me of Dat in years gone. Dat had that same jump step and was so exciting to watch. I hope Byron, if he choses Oregon, can give us that same excitement and of course the points.

IMO Brown has a good chance to play again, however it would be in tandem as last season. Brown is not going to improve any more than he is now because he's had many years of field play and this is as far as he has advanced during that time. Nothing is going happen to all of a sudden make him the shining star in the barn.

Beating the Huskies is like winning a double header.
