UGA 30 ORE 27. Dammit!

OUCH! That was nasty. Going farther back into the history of Ducks football there were other great QB's; Norm Van Brocklin, Bob Berry, Dan Fouts were some of them. At least some of the situation the writer describes is related to coaching turnover and the brief tenure of head coaches and offensive coordinators. The quarterbacks on Oregon's roster either did not develop each year, transferred out, or the Ducks brought in a graduate transfer interrupting transition. One can now only speculate on the future without game history with the new coaches. I'm pretty sure that Coach Lanning will expect excellence from QB's, and oversee their development, knowing that excellence from the QB's is requisite to winning football. Coach Dillingham's track record includes high powered offenses triggered with outstanding QB play. I believe in our coache's abilities to develop quarterbacks. Yes, the Ducks have been through a rough patch, but it should soon be in the rearview mirror.

Georgia Has A Top Five Backfield? Georgia Bulldogs have the No. 5 backfield in college football per Athlon Sports 247SPORTS.COM .

No doubt.

Renaissance or shambles? I'm not sure. There has been D1, D2, DIII, NAIA, JUCO, and other Divisions of college football. The new model will separate D1 further with an elite super division with 40-50 teams. A new semi-pro league may not be as revolutionary as it first seens or feels. Pay for play changes everything. The Supreme Court righted a wrong for players, but changed the playing field of college footbball in doing so. The next decade of college football may be more interesting off the field than on. Thank you David for the article.

We can assume that enemies will be poisoning and attempting to lure QB's two and three away from Oregon.There are loose rules and little enforcement for tampering. Nix, Thompson, and Butterfield seem to be serious level-headed business-like players. That bodes well for the Ducks. The bait to pull transfers into trznsferring is stronger than ever. The large support teams at the elite schools and some wannabees have can identify and attract transfer portal targets. Stay tuned. Go Ducks.

Thanks for another thought-provoking article previewing Ducks QB's. I look for improved metrics by the quarterbacks over Herbert's senior season numbers. He was limited by the scheme, play calling, and receivers with this year's team capable of improving in all those aspects. Could we see YPC near 10..0, completion rate of 67+, and QB Rating of 160+? Dilly continues to stress that ball security by avoiding interceptions and fumbles is paramount in the QB competition. This is the time of year when the effects of over-consumption of green kool-Aid begins to blur my vision. Go Ducks.

I'm down with your proposition and rationale, DNC. I would love to see the end zone fade called often. Similarly, It would be useful to run some of the red zone patterns that Tom Brady and Gronk used successfully. Gronk used his wide body, speed, and great hands, along with body positioning to overwhelm the best DB's in football. With the end zone fade, and TE slants, crossing patterns, and jump balls, all the Ducks need is a QB with accuracy, good timing, and touch to be consistently formidable. The Ducks are loaded with talented Tight Ends. Go Ducks. Game day is coming.

That's Fire! Go Ducks. Another great execution of concept.

How could the AD's and University Presidents let this happen and continue? While Scott may have been the key perpetrator, the others were accessories to the crimes. Larry Scott would not have lasted so long on either "Yellowstone" or "Ozark".

Congratulations and good luck to these two successful Ducks scholar-athletes.

Justin Flowe is the real deal. Though Oregon fans have seen little of Justin Flowe, the eagle-eyed NFL scouts have undoubtedly identified his overflowing talent, speed, instincts, motor, and football accumen. Flowe is a highlight reel waiting to happen. Flowe's play this season should key Oregon's defense. The Ducks schedule will likely become Thunder Road.

Thanks for the Op/Ed about DeBoer. He has a great offensive mind, and should create new interest in the Huskies football program, and field more competitive teams in the conference. As was highlighted, DeBoer is an offensive wizard. He is multi-faceted with schemes and formations, cadence, snap timing, and uses decoys effectively to consitently produce gaudy offensive statistics. To restore Washington's football will require more from DeBoer that a great offense. How long it takes to build his staff, convert the culture, recruit better talent, and get the President, AD, and boosters on his bandwagon, and get the players on the same page is unknown. The Transfer Portal will be DeBoer's friend for at least the early years of his tenure. There is much to watch for in the coming years inside of Husky football. I like the coach, but really hope the Ducks, and the Duck's defense will keep their webbed feet on the neck of the Huskies not letting them up.

DAZENCONFUSED provided a robust summary of the defense and a forecast of what to expect. There are so many reasons to be optimistic about the Ducks players, team, and coaches. The defense has disappointed me the past few seasons when I expected more preseason than what happened on the field. The cards have been dealt and it looks like a winning hand for this season. It will be very interesting how the games play out, and to see coaches Lanning and Lupoi play their hand.

This season for Miami will tell if Cristobal learned in Eugene to get out of his own way. Like the Hare in the fable, Mario is a strong starter. His term as head coach in Miami will be remembered by how he finishes, not how he starts.

From Bleacher Report. Sabrina Ionescu is in just her third season with the New York Liberty, and she is already etching her name into the history books. During the first quarter of the Liberty's game against the Phoenix Mercury on Saturday, Ionescu became the first player in WNBA history to record more than 500 points, 200 rebounds and 200 assists in a single season.

The slot receivers will help the Ducks gain critical first downs and make explosive plays. Seven and Hutson add fire power to the roster. It will not surprise me to see Thompson or Butters overtake Bo Nix by the end of the season. I don't predict a QB transition, but it may occur anyway. Talent is nipping at Bo's heels. Dillingham's tempo offense, along with the talent of the skill players will likely create uncertainty by the defense. Even a brief indecision could result in chunk yardage or a TD.
