Southwest Duck

"Vast Improvement over last year" I would agree this season was a "vast improvement" from an entertainment standpoint, the games were high scoring and a lot more fun to watch. But... At this point last season we were 10-2 ( one win better) and heading to a pac-12 championship game. We also had a win, on the road, over the 3rd ranked team in the nation, Ohio St. Mario was boring, but he did get us a Rose Bowl win and 2 pac-12 titles. I think he deserves a little more credit for those accomplishments. I'd be happy if Lanning could get us 2 pac-12 titles and a Rose Bowl win in the next 4 seasons.

Vegas agrees Oregon is one of only 8 teams listed, still with a chance, to win the Natty!

IF Oregon wins out, then they only need two of these 3 teams to lose a game. I believe all 3 will lose which makes it even more likely we get in. LSU lose to Texas A&M or Georgia. (Very Likely) TCU lose to Iowa St or Kansas ST (coin flip) Clemson lose to South Carolina Or North Carolina (Likely, South Carolina looked great against Tennessee )

A two loss pac-12 champ, Oregon, could still make the CFP. Here's the only help they would need: LSU to lose to Georgia Clemson to lose to either UNC or South Carolina That's it and we are in, I believe. The rankings would be 1) Georgia 2) Ohio St or Michigan 3) TCU The 4th spot would be a debate between A one loss non champ Ohio St or Michigan. A two loss non champ Alabama. And our Ducks a two loss Pac 12 champion. With the strength of the Pac 12 this season the Ducks will win this debate. Wins over ranked opponents Michigan 2 Ohio St 3 Alabama 2 Oregon 4 This projection doesn't even take into account That TCU could lose to Kansas ST in the Big 12 title which would open up another spot! Keep the hope alive DUCK fans and get healthy NIX!!

If I was Dante Moore I would decommit after that show. we are entering dark times, fellow duck fans the bellotti, Kelly, helfrich, Cristobal era of competing for and winning rose bowls is over.

0 pass rush just like I thought as long as we beat the Huskies and make a bowl I’ll be happy. 7-5 here we come!

Good article thanks for posting! i think the game plays out that way except for flowe and Noah will hold up better in pass coverage than he thinks. so instead of giving up 45 points I’m thinking mid thirties.

Georgia 34 Oregon 20 1 turnover 0 sacks 290 passing yards

I disagree that we have upgraded across the board. Our coaches are unproven, so right now it is a push . Lanning=Crisobal Qb Upgrade Nix/Ty > Anthony Brown RB Downgrade Dye Verdell > 5 unproven backs we don't even know who the lead guy is. OL Upgrade 1 more year of experience and added 5 star Connerly WR Downgrade Pittman Devon Williams JJ3 and Redd > Hutson, Seven, Franklin, Thornton, Coda, Chapman (Prove it first, These guys have done very little at the college level) TE Upgrade Matavao and Ferguson are a year older. Dline Push Lost Thibbs but added a lot of depth at tackle. LB Upgrade Sewell older and a healthy Flowe. Bassa more experienced and added weight. Safety Downgrade Lost McKinley everyone else the same. CB Push DJ James and Wright are big losses, but Gonzalez was a huge pickup.

I sure hope you are correct! Funa Swinson and DJ Johnson are so critical in providing a pass rush. Their development, I believe, is the difference between a 7-5 or 8-4 season if they disappoint. Or 10-2 11-1 if they excel.

I have more confidence in our defense than our offense for sure. weakness on our defense is a lack of proven pass rushers kavon Thibbs is gone. dj Johnson was awesome rushing the passer in our spring game but I gotta see it in a real game before I’m sold free safety is also a weak spot verone McKinley is gone and we have a converted wr playing that spot in Braylon Addison our starting cornerbacks (manning and Gonzales) should be good but there is no proven depth behind them

Conerly jr by week 3 he is starting at left tackle and locking down the blind side he will be first team all pac 12 steven Jones to the bench. left tackle Conerly left guard bass center Forsyth right guard walk right tackle big sala

Jerry Mixon, California linebacker and cousin of NFL star, commits to Oregon Ducks over UCLA, others - Scorebook Live NEWS.SCOREBOOKLIVE.COM The Oregon Ducks football program has a top-15 recruiting class nationally, but has experienced a series of misses in the past could of weeks. On Friday, Dan

I can’t wait to read them! I hope you calm my pass rush fears

Bassa has worked hard on his body this off-season. From the pictures from the first day of camp he looks much bigger! I like our d tackles and linebackers for sure, my only worry is the pass rush. Swinson, Funa, and DJ are key to this season. Right now I think our pass rush will be average at best, I hope I’m wrong,

I think he’s playing out of position at nickel back . he needs to play the boundary safety spot Brady breeze used to play that would free up the nickel spot for Bennett Williams Jamal Hill = Kam Chanclor if he plays the correct position I have faith our new coaches will get our best 11 on the field

I wish Mario the best of luck I’ll root for the hurricanes as long as they are not playing the ducks. He always handled himself and the program with the upmost of class while he was here, got us a couple pac12 championships and won a rose bowl. Now I’m moving on and focusing only on Lanning and the ducks! no bitterness towards him from me at all only gratitude

Two questions? Do you guys think Conerly starts this season as a true freshman? and If he does start who out of our top 5 o line group gets dropped to second string? Walk, Sala, Forsyth, Jones, or Bass

Wow I’m so happy right now. I was in a post Mario Cristobal depression. I didn’t think we’d ever recruit at that level again!! glad I was wrong Go s!!

Gang green defense in the mid 90s loved Watching Akili Smith The 1995 Rose Bowl vs Penn St.

Well not really, we did lose Dye to them, so… Oregon 2. USC 1

This is an awesome signing, it seemed mc focused on bringing in offensive tackles the last couple seasons. We needed some beef in the middle it’ll be great to see him and jpj anchoring the middle of the o line the next 3-4 seasons. big get for Lanning

James is a huge get at a position of need! flipping him from the national champs is crazy way to go Lanning!!

According to this tweet, it looks like he will be focusing on defense. Great News!!

Ducks will be ok at RB, I'm pretty sure Verdell is coming back and that's why Dye bolted. This looks like a pretty solid 4 deep to me. 1) Verdell 2) Dollars 3) Cardwell 4) 7 McGee
