  1. Great stuff.

     

    My  keys

     

    1. New nightmare blitz packages springing from the depths of Lanning's playbook. Personally, I'd be terrified to think of what Lanning could install given two weeks to prepare for an epic battle. Just ask Nick Saban.

     

    2. The ground game just doing what it does. If 1st and 10 regularly becomes 2nd and 2 after handing off to Bucky and Jordan, the steady slow roll drives will dominate the clock and they won't outscore us.

     

    3. Win the turn over battle. At WSU last year, a pick six right before half negated the work UO had done climbing out of an early whole and robbed them of halftime momentum. Anything like that Saturday may prove catastrophic.

     

    Go Ducks!

  2. The Ducks have been and will continue to do a great job of recruiting both O/D lines as well as skill positions. They'll be in the mix at the top of the BIG most years with some drop off with the occasional upset.

     

    The real question here is what will Canzono's lane be going forward? Does he embrace the Ducks national presence and climb aboard the bandwagon, or does he continue to stir the pot for the bitter Beaver fan?

     

    All I know is that I already don't care either way.

  3. I feel that this is indeed a special season and I'm glad this article points that out. I also think that this season has been and will continue to be a golden advertisement to any and all elite SEC players wanting to portal to a different school. Former five star players not having the career they hoped for only need to look at Bo Nix to see what can happen at UO. Also great players that happen to be stuck behind other great players in the rotation can look at guys like Khyree Jackson and see what becoming a Duck can look like.

     

    I think after next year, Lanning's recruiting classes will have stocked the cupboards full enough that mass portal renovations won't be necessary.

  4. The UO detractors out there like to ignore the PSU results, say they barely escaped at TT, over powered an over rated CU and waltzed past a checked out Furd. Here, I'll go ahead and ignore PSU as well and pick up their string of scores beginning with the 4th Qtr at Texas Tech.

     

    TT 20-3

    UH 55-10

    CU 42-6

    Furd 42-6

     

    Total 159-25

     

    That is against three power 5 and one group of 5 schools with one of them ranked at the time and two games on the road. Also,13 of the 25 points the Ducks gave up in that span were in garbage time. I don't ever recall a stretch like that in Duck history. Something special is coming together this season. Can't wait for more.

    Lanning is doing in reality what Mario was doing in his own mind. What a difference it is to see a team assembled based on skills required for achieving results as opposed to simple star collecting. Both offensive and defensive units are becoming much better than the individuals playing the positions.

     

    Both groups are putting up impressive numbers nationally and getting impressive results. Teams are being put away by halftime and not lingering around into the fourth quarter anymore. Leading Stoney Brook 17-7 at the half is finally in the fading past. Looking forward to the bright new future.

    On the Duck side of things... that first three and out series I was frustrated they went for a deep shot on 3rd and 4 instead of trying to convert. After Stanford burned like half the first quarter on their opening drive it would have been better to keep the offense on the field longer.

    This was also my main gripe for the game. Just get that first first down and build a little rhythm before going for it all. One does not tempt fate down on the farm where bad things regularly like to happen.

    Any concern about the Ducks not scoring in the 1st quarter?

    Furd got the ball first and went on a 17 play drive the took half the first quarter and got a field goal. Ducks then had a three and out then Furd got it back and kept it the rest of the quarter.After they kicked another field goal, UO dominated the rest of the game 42-0. A weird quarter but I'm not to concerned.

  8. He seems to always be two steps ahead of what needs to get done. Remember when he was just hired and managing the best defensive unit in recent memory on a championship run and on the side, holding together UO's recruiting class? He even called Florence while leaving the championship field. He came in, got introduced and said the right thing in every interview. Then brought in top level portal transfers and plugged up the worst roster holes like QB and patched together a near playoff caliber team.

     

    His offensive and defensive concepts are both cutting edge state of the art and the staff he built has been top notch since day one. Not to be some homer fan boy, but it's hard to find much fault in how he has lead the team the last two seasons. In short, I'd say he's just a guy that gets it. Looking forward to where this is all heading.

    My hope is Beavs play their way into the power 4.

    One of the most terrifying aspects of the Beavs this year is that not only are they legit built for this moment, they are playing for their Power Conference lives. They may be the scariest team in the PAC simply because they have the most to lose. In fact, I'd bet that if they go 5-0 or so, they would become the new national story replacing the Buffs after their loses begin to mount.

     

    The B12 really should figure out a a way to bring in both OSU and WSU. The best way for the B12 to compete with the BIG and SEC, is to have as many legit programs as possible in it.
