My friends...this really is true, and when I think of how tough it has been recruiting to the defensive line over the years? Do we believe it? Yeah Baby! Many thanks to those posting articles in the FishDuck Feed, as this came from that Pinned Topic at the top of the forum, and you gotta check it out--all of each day's Oregon Sports News in one place? Cool! Oregon Piecing Together Elite Defensive Line Class - On3 WWW.ON3.COM Oregon has commitments from 7 defensive line prospects in the 2023 recruiting cycle. Dan Lanning is putting together an elite class.

I think the stat about the underclassmen is a stunner...

I will politely disagree; the second one hit him in the hands, thrown at his numbers. The first was tough, but should have been caught. Anything in the reachable radius of a receiver should be caught, IMHO.

Seven was a true freshman last year playing, and is a sophomore now. But he should have come back and fought for the ball; I don't think the pick would have happened if it was thrown to Cota, for example. It was on both the QB and WR, IMHO.

Amen. The defense lost that game for us and looked unbelievably bad in so many ways. Still stunned at it.

Completely agree, and it looked like Seven slowed down on the route...to fight for the ball instead of being lead to the ball. Then, he didn't fight for the ball after all, and that is a newbie out there. And again--I think it would have been different with Thornton or Franklin as well. Throw to the little guys on the crossing routes, and throw to the tall guys on the fades or "Go" routes. Kinda common sense, Dilly?

Great article by DZC, and I do appreciate it!

It would appear that Salu has a little better feet than I gave him credit for? Good for him.

The back-up QB is always the most popular player on the team...when the QB question would first materialize...I wanted Graziani over O'Neil, Leaf over Dixon and Costa over Thomas. And back then....I was able to see a whole lot more practices than we do now and I was flat out wrong...stupid-wrong with most of them. This is great stuff to discuss, but to boo the coach over it in his first five games? I do not think that is cool at all. Do not take the frustrations of the last three years out on a new coach...please.

Some details from the media kit sent to credentialed media for Oregon Athletics, and there are some facts to be proud of for all Oregon fans. --Oregon is one of just three teams in FBS to reach the conference championship game in each of the last three seasons. --The Ducks have won 17 straight home openers averaging 56 points. --Oregon is on a 19 home game winning streak, the third longest in the nation. (I wonder why teams back out of a home-and-home?) --The Ducks have a 28 game home nonconference winning streak, the second longest in FBS. --Chase Cota is just 93 yards away from 1,000 receiving yards for his college career. --Bo Nix needs just 94 more yards to have 1,000 yards rushing in his college career. --Cam McCormick is wearing No. 18 on Saturday in honor of Spencer Webb. --Cam McCormick is a seventh year senior, and yet has another year of eligibility! The stat that might explain a ton in addition to a new coaching staff? ----Oregon is tied for fourth-most underclassmen in the nation with 96 or an astounding 76.2% of the roster. (Wow!) I do like the fans wearing yellow!

The King of the one-liners strikes again....

To me...this is big. Because the best photos for being up on my two sites have great crowd background with the yellow. As far as I'm concerned....everybody should wear yellow for every game, as it looks great on camera. And...is Pennsylvania Duck the Best, or what?

That might be you projecting your feelings, but I hope there are not boos for a coach within his first five games. The boos for Cristobal was in his fourth years with tons of prior game experiences for the fans. I think Coach Lanning deserves a chance to earn our trust...perhaps not as long as four years, but longer than five games, IMHO.

As a great Michigan State fan...that was nice of you to bring that to us. It shows us, frankly, how far yet we have to go. Do we have quality control people like that? Whew! One step at a time... Do check in when the discussions continue with Oregon possibly joining the B1G later.

David...thank you for the article, as we need a little positive perspective. We can still be in the Rose Bowl!

We have all been on the receiving end of a butt-kicking in life among all the different categories, and it will be interesting to watch them over the next two weeks--what is their reaction? Will they be hungry to show everyone they are not that bad? Or will they be demoralized, and limp into games with a poor expectation? Will they assert their skills, or will they allow other teams to set the tone? I do not like this scenario any more than you, but as far as entertainment goes--this is a great drama to see how the spirit of this team responds. They will now be the underdog for the remainder of the season...even if they won eight in a row. That butt-kicking will always remain in the back of their mind. It can either mess-with-their-head, or energize them into becoming the best they can be. I find this fascinating to watch...

On Rivals...Oregon is No. 2 in the conference as USC is No. 12 in the nation and Oregon is No. 14, but we have a long ways to go!

Bump

The No. 1 recruit for the state of Colorado! A 4-Star with Rivals, with offers from Oklahoma, Texas, Notre Dame, USC and Washington!

On mobile-the tweets disappear. I will have the web developer look into it.

Yep. It was a good article, and he referred to our defenders not getting lined up right? Whew! The pad level in football is like winning an argument on the web outside of this forum; whoever is lower, wins!

Amen.

Agreed. And I have more egg-on-my-face as I thought this was the perfect time to play them. We all get humbled at one time or another!
