Boy what a bad look for the conference in this article on many levels...whew! What will Larry do?

I saw the same blitzes run by Georgia in the 'Natty that were devastating, but when Oregon ran the same ones...not the same result. I think it is more the players last year, and their inexperience with what they were learning?

It is my belief that Lanning approaches the DC play-calling as he did the entire defense this last year. As DazeNconfused and I wrote about, (he'll be back but has some computer issues) Lanning checked what he had, tried to run the defenses he wanted early in the season, and when it failed--he switched to a high percentage approach. (Cover-2, and simulated pressures with only four rushing) I believe that Lanning knew of Lupoi's need to learn play-calling, thus Powledge and Lanning were there to help. I believe the same format is being applied with the new hire, thus the "Co-Defensive Coordinator" title given Hampton, as Powledge had. Lupoi is a powerful defensive line recruiter, as he has helped to attract the most talent ever recruited to Oregon at one time, thus his value to the staff is immeasurable. Like the 2022 defense, you find a way to make it work for now, and gradually--it will all get better. It starts with bringing in the talent, and Tosh is doing that. Over time Lupoi will improve, and he has Hampton and Lanning "helping" him with the play-calls. Again...this is all speculation on my part, but one that appears to be connecting the obvious dots. It is what I would do if I wanted one of the of the best recruiters in the college game on my staff. Reap the benefits of his skills, and help overcome his weaknesses. Great article David!

That guy can't keep his head straight; Dickey is not and has never been a 5-Star on Rivals. (I wish he was...) Jurrion Dickey | DuckSportsAuthority N.RIVALS.COM Jurrion Dickey - 4 Star Wide receiver for Oregon on DuckSportsAuthority

Never, has it been this loaded. I thank the coaches for creating depth never seen at Oregon before on the defensive line...

Yep, and Jurrion Dickey is still a 4-Star on Rivals. It is harder on Rivals, and has been consistent for over 20 years and no other rating service has that consistency, IMHO.

There can be more than three options on this play, and this new offense requires a QB who can make good decisions. Glad we got Bo this year!

Sewell in the 3rd round? Whew!

Amen Duck-Brother. For the number of global fans...Oregon is No. 7 among all college teams. Shouldn't we have the 7th best payout? Now that is between Oregon and the Pac-12, but it is also dependent upon the metric used. I want the games on both mediums, even if we get nominal income from streaming at first. The point is--we will pick up more and more viewers on streaming over time, and that becomes the most important. It is the best way to leverage our No. 7 in the world, (Streaming) and we are not right now with just a "Media Market" metric. Oregon has more fans globally than USC...more than Alabama....more than Georgia! Only streaming can fully take advantage of that! Get BOTH mediums going...TV and streaming. (As Bill Walton would say....PLEASE) Where are the Oregon Ducks in study of largest college football fan bases? | Ducks Wire DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM The Ducks have one of the biggest fan bases in the nation. But where do they stack up among the most beloved teams in college football?

This is extremely well researched and presented, with some very surprising observations and conclusions about the Will Stein offense.

That quote from the father must indicate that the in-home meeting with Coach Lanning went pretty well. It is a perfect launching for what they see in their visit here next weekend!

Hmmm. We need No. 58, JPL at center, but he is one of the nation’s best at guard? It will be interesting to watch...what does Klemm do? We already have three starters at guard in Marcus Harper, Steven Jones and the Texas transfer, Junior Angilau, who has 32 starts. But no center…

Poor Trojans....

The video starts right out with the discussion of Harbor, and I did learn a new thing or two. I did not originally think Maryland was a serious contender for him, and I like that development as I think we matchup pretty good when considering all the elements.

Good gosh, we dodged a bullet, a big one on that one!

I wish I had an emoji for “I love you, man,” as this certainly nails, my thoughts.

Only the good ones. That is the objective here...

Articles like this assure a very intense Autzen this fall when the Trojans come to town.

Complaining again, USC? Beat Tulane first, and then get back to me…

I was looking at an article from 247, (that has been posted here) and I was stunned at the breakdown of players by academic year in school. Seniors: 14 Juniors: 28 Sophs: 7 Freshmen or Redshirt Freshmen: 41

There was a great point made at the end of the article about how this schedule has a TON of great made-for-entertainment games. That is a great selling point for a media deal, thus having this released has to help George K's leverage in negotiations. A good year to include streaming...

The principal of one of the pay sites, reported this. Not the kind of thing he would snow us about, but he did not provide the NCAA rule. I found it... "The rule they’ve been using — 15.5.1.7 — is known as the “Aid After Departure of Head Coach” bylaw. Newly hired coaches can remove a player from their 85-man scholarship roster but keep them on scholarship as long as they stop playing." Get ready for a new level of CFB roster-flipping THEATHLETIC.COM If it sounds a little too much like we’re heading toward NFL-style roster cuts in college football, that’s not far from the truth.

I did not know of this, but on another site it was explained how college coaches in their first year only, (of which is running out on Lanning soon) can remove players off the football roster, but keep them on scholarship. These newly "academic" scholarships do not count against the 85, thus the players could have been given a choice of leaving via the portal, or staying at Oregon and finishing their education. We won't know who they are until later when they are not at football practices, since they would not have announced for the portal. The rule is only good for the first year of a HC, so Lanning has to make the most of it while he can. This might also explain the tons being brought in as high school players or from the portal. New rule to me!
