Just crazy how guys like Johntay can literally have a life of success sitting right in front of him for the taking, yet they still choose to do sketchy things. Talent was right there, a second chance was as well in the form of the Fuskies. All he had to do was occasionally go to class, go to his tutor sessions, play football, and his life was essentially made. Colt Lyerla will always be the Oregon cautionary tale.

Dante Moore might know something too...? Oregon QB’s Cryptic Post Sparks Buzz About Potential Ohio State WR Transfer - Athlon Sports

It would involve him being almost strictly involved in the day-to-day processes of the defensive side; including constant player development, creating plays, tweaking them for personnel. All of this I am sure he could easily do as he's done it before. However, as the HC of a much higher profile program than lil' bro to the north, I would wonder whether or not it would spread him too thin.

Wouldn't touch this guy with a 40 mile pole. He is a walking red flag. Besides, our cupboard is completely stocked at WR. Still hoping Jurrion Dickey can emerge this offseason as our answer to a Jeramiah Smith type weapon. Jontay can go to Miami and be Mari-o's problem!

Interesting article that names Oregon in the top two for him. Personally, I don't see Beck as a drastic, or even, an improvement over Dante Moore. Sure he has experience, but I think we have already seen Carson Beck's ceiling over two years. Not sold. I'm ready for some in-house developed talent.

With the way to ball flies out of Dante Moore’s hands, we could see some serious deep shots. Malik Benson should also be a vertical threat with the speed he has. A 10.4 100 meter dash is pretty quick!

I only see two games this season that it was used optimally; but even those looked more like QB scrambles than actual designed plays. Why did Gabriel get to run in the first tOSU game but not the second? Were they genuinely concerned about injury potentially derailing a playoff run? If that's the case then why didn't we see more of it in the second half of the Rose Bowl, when they should have had the playbook completely wide open?

This is something that has always perplexed me with the Will Stein hire. Both starting QBs that he has coached during his tenure at Oregon have been described as mobile and athletic; more than willing to pick up yards with their feet. Now, don't get me wrong, I am well aware of the risk that is incurred every time a QB tucks the ball and takes it downfield. But in a program with an offensive mentality that has for the better part of 15 years, in some way involved the threat of a QB keeping it, I find it curious that some of the lowest QB rushing statistics at Oregon have been during the Will Stein era. Let's first look back at Bo Nix. His 2019 and 2020 seasons at Auburn both saw him run for over 300 yards and, if it weren't for injury in 2021, was on pace to post similar numbers. His first season at Oregon, under Kenny Dillingham had Nix running 510 yards! Yes he got hurt, but clearly this was a risk that was seen as acceptable at the time. Then came his one and only season with Will Stein. Although he posted a historical 77.4% completion rate, his rush number dipped to 234 yards. 4 out of 5 seasons saw him posting or at least on track for 300+ yards per year. Now for Dillon Gabriel. His 3 seasons at UCF saw him intentionally put into a passing scheme where QB runs weren't favored so much as a QB's ability to extend the play was; which he did well. Then he gets to Oklahoma in 2022. In a system much more designed to allow a QB to pick up extra yards we see him posting 315 yards and 373 yards in consecutive seasons. He then gets to Oregon for his one and only season under Will Stein (the longest season of his college career FYI). The 2024 season saw Dillon Gabriel rush a measly 149 yards in 14 games. We really only saw Dillon Gabriel snag yards in the most absolute clutch of scenarios (Boise State, Ohio State Pt 1). We rarely saw designed QB runs and when we did they were very far from effective. Bo Nix, in my opinion, only got above 200 yards his last season because he was given absolute command over the offense and changed plays as needed. I hope this is not the beginning of a trend for QBs at our school. We have often done so well and caught so many defenses flat footed by employing ALL of the legs on offense. Again, I understand the inherent risks associated with a running QB. But this school has been taking those risks for 15+ years. My worry is that Will Stein has trouble calling an offense that utilizes a ball carrying QB. We should be adding wrinkles to the offense, not taking them away.

It didn’t seem to me that our defenders had a lack of intensity on the field. When you look back on the game you can clearly see them scrambling to break plays and just getting beaten. I think there is something to what I’ve been hearing that Ohio State may have withheld a decent portion of their playbook anticipating making the playoff. Part of that is a gamble, yes; but when you pay $20 million for a roster there has to be some assumption that you’ll be making the post season. This could have been part of their game plan all along. Even Dan Lanning consulted multiple NFL teams prior to the season in order to better prepare for a longer slate of games and how to successfully navigate their way to the end. He couldn’t have been the only coach taking notes.

We are not desperate at QB, nor are we in rebuild mode. The comments Tez made about Dante Moore's progress and readiness to take over is especially encouraging. It could be that the other guys are also much further along in their development as well and that reality hit Jaron when he started early practices. I feel like we are in good hands with the current QB room. His late commitment was more confusing than anything.

In the cold and possibly snow/rain. Even colder after the sun goes down. Neither team generates much through the air. This game will be decided on the ground and the ability of defenses to generate a few necessary stops. SEC teams hate the cold and will complain about these games not being played in covered stadiums after this season. 20-17 Ohio State

Keep hearing and seeing multiple reports that the school was allotted 12,000 Rose Bowl tickets and those have all already been sold. People who were getting in on the pre-sale were being denied their tickets and told to check 3rd party ticketing sites (which are in turn jacking up the prices). Makes you wonder if this is an attempt by the Rose Bowl to keep the attendance from looking like a home game for Oregon?
