This is why “the grass is damn green in Eugene”. Ducks thrive in the rain. Go Ducks.

It doesn’t really matter much to me, because there have been so many great ones (and a few clunkers too). Coach Lanning must juggle so many aspects the others before him never did. Being a head coach today is massively complicated. Lanning sets True North for the program (sic). He has assembled a large and qualified support staff. Together they have greater capabilities and skills than any staff before them at UO. Go Ducks.

There are statistics and opinions in this thread. The RB and OC coaches have all the same information plus they know at game time who is nicked up, distracted by outside life issues , along with which ones practiced and worked harder leading up to the game. They have studied the opposing defense and its tendencies. I’m very satisfied to watch who plays, and their workload as determined by the coaches.

Coach Lanning needs to be grooming his leads on the next Will Stein Plus OC. Coach Stein will be the target of many programs. I hope that Stein will stay until the Ducks win the national championship, so he will have bigger and better opportunities.

Dillon looks calm, cool, collected and well schooled through the first half. Despite some heavy rushes by the Vikes DG is getting the ball out and on target. He’s been lucky on several tips and hurries not to suffer an interception. Let’s see what the. second half brings?

Great win, but can some of you explain why the Ducks began to play soft or off in the secondary in the 4th quarter after such success in the previous three quarters? Some things changed.

A pound of Beaver flesh. Plus turnovers. Heavy OL line push. Stingy DL play. No injuries.

Obvious to some, but scorned by others, the Portal presents an opportunity to add depth to positions that are thin or weak. Portal players have college level snaps behind them and video from the D1 level for evaluations. Dabo has an outstanding win-loss record at Clemson including two national championships. Not padding the roster by adding depth from the Portal seems to be a stumbling block for the Clemson program.

An outstanding prank in a simpler time.

I love those simple but classic unis. GO DUCKS🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

There are several thoughts here of what, why and how this has happened. One or more may be right. We will know more after Saturday’s game, but no matter the details, I like it with the Ducks personnel. They have the Joe’s to bring added pressure. I’m wondering how the YAC allowed per game compares so far with last year’s statistic? It seems to me with a small sample that the Ducks are tackling much better.
