Secondary has a lot of talent. They made mistakes. I agree that some of that was caused by late calls causing panic. Coaches need to improve this area. Khyree Jackson made the pass interference call by hustling too fast after his mistake and running into the receiver. The penalty really hurt the team. However, he demonstrated great coverage skills in getting the first of 3 interceptions by the Ducks. With tight man coverage he adjusted to the throw by Tyler and came up with the pick. Lots of learning growth needed by both the coaches and players. I like the reaction Coach Lanning gave in his post game interview!

Great to see another part of Coach Stein's offense explained. Which you do a good job of showing. Do you think Stein could designate another receiver and add another option? For instance, have the H back release to the flat instead of blocking. I love the RPO, especially with a QB like Bo! Thanks Eric for writing for OBDF!

Excellent article David! The talent possessed by Irving makes him a great back. Vision, speed, balance, using his blockers, and toughness - he has the total package. I do trust the management of the running back position to Coach Locklyn. We know what a great back Verdell was during the Mari years. But he did encounter a lot of injuries. In my opinion sharing the load may have let him finish the season more often. The 66 yard run you described came in the 13th game of the season. I posit that was possible because he also had fresh legs at the end of the season to utilize all his talents. The Ducks are blessed to have a deep and talented running back room. I trust in Coach Locklyn! Thank you David for highlighting my favorite position!

Thanks Jordan for the positive look at the Ducks home opener! I too was impressed with Coach Stein and his play calling. I'm glad that any questions I might have had during the off season were answered. No worries about Coach Dillingham leaving. The defense learned they had to adjust a vanilla defensive plan to account for the PSU very mobile QB. They did, and shut them down the rest of the day. I fully support not giving Texas Tech any idea what kind of havoc they will see next week. Thanks again, Jordan, I always like reading your take on Our Beloved Ducks!

That was a fun BOdacious game! Bo and Tez great young men. Love Nic Aliotti! Go Ducks!

Will Stein QB whisperer! Perfect type of plays for Ty Thompson to use his talent.

I'm so glad this is the last year of Pac-12 referees!!!

I realize you can't show Texas Tech all your packages on defense when you have superior talent.

I agree with you, Charles, this to me is the improvement from last year that we need: "To me, the additions in the portal by Dan Lanning have been astounding, and it has been hard to believe he could attract this many in such a short time. The portal transfers transformed the Oregon offense in 2022, and we will see a similar jump in performance from our defense in 2023." Nothing wrong with being a homer. Especially when we see all the additions to the defense. I always look through my Duck Fan glasses. If you don't go into every game expecting to win you're defeating yourself. 12-0 !!! Thanks for giving us something to ponder on! Let the games begin! Go Ducks!

Try this one - much better!

Fantastic! Thanks Pennsylvania Duck. Team getting ready for football...

I can agree that this isn't as good as previous videos. My enjoyment comes from the actual game of football during the season. I would watch the Ducks whether they played Georgia or Portland State. My reason for posting was football is coming. I can't wait until off season is over! One more week. "Welcome to Autzen Stadium..." is music to my ears!

One week fans! Oregon Football 2023-2024 is coming! Enjoy - Go Ducks!

Thanks Coach Eric for bringing these analysis articles to help us understand the Will Stein offense. It takes a lot of time and research. Your efforts are appreciated. I know many Duck fans will be leary of seeing QB Bo run between the tackles. But I like the 3 options. I can see this as a good play for QB Thompson and other back ups to use. Easy to count defenders and then execute. I hope he chooses plays for Thompson that are not only safe but give him a chance to utilize his athletic talent. I can see him attacking the defense with this draw.

Duck Duck Duck Duck... You ARE a real DUCK Fan! And always will be wherever you live! Thanks for all the gifts you've provided for Duck fans everywhere. Go Ducks!

All the player videos are great to watch. Thank you PD for all your posts! The Running Back room is loaded! Coach Locklyn is a terrific mentor.

Thanks Mr. FishDuck for your analysis! Your use of the screenshot and video clip is superb. They make the teaching of the concept so much easier to understand. Duck fans appreciate the time and effort it takes to bring us the details of the Mint defense Coach Lanning brought to Oregon. It's been a long off season and football games are coming. Oregon Duck football is back. Go Ducks!

Excellent play Coach Eric, thank you for bringing this to us! I always have liked a two back set. Cross buck action to confuse linebackers is golden. The linebackers are so worried about the run action the right WR is wide open after he takes 5 steps. Poor eye discipline by the DB's. Looks like all defenders anticipated run and were caught by surprise.

Mudslide accidentally posted this in the 2025 commitments. Moved it to the 2024 for him. Ryder Hayes, 2024 quarterback, commits to Oregon Ducks WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM An unranked prospect out of Grandview, Texas, Hayes committed to the Ducks on Saturday as a preferred walk-on

Can anyone summarize the article for those who do not subscribe to Canzano? Thanks!

BigGameBoomer, my only comment is B.S. (bull stuff). Stanford hasn't been relevant for running backs since McCaffrey. The boring Shaw offense; throw the ball to a tall tight end is more like Stanford not RBU.

Mike West "It seems to me the better route would be to ensure OBD schedule USC and UCLA as often as possible." I can understand your point, and it has merit in regards to competition and big names. However in my opinion, I personally would hope no PAC team ever schedules the traitors. Make them travel to BIG country to get a game!

It's nice to see Jackson Powers-Johnson and Josh Conerly Jr. get some love! They will be anchors on a good Oregon line.

Excellent analysis Charles! J. Bassa executed the blitz like it was a drill in practice against a standing bag. Bassa will have the speed and technique to get many more this year. I watched the media day interview with Jeffrey and Bo. I do believe that Jeffrey has put on some more muscle mass since last year. His arms, shoulders, and calves seemed to look ready to bust the seams of his suit jacket and pants! He is one awesome linebacker. By the way, watch #3 Dorlus bring held by the left tackle. He gets to the QB a split second after Bassa. I agree with HappyToBeADuck and Haywarduck - let chaos run supreme things are looking up for the Lanning defense!

Only the very first few paragraphs are visible for non-subscribers. lownslowav8r can you summarize the rest of TBE article for us? Sounds like Canzano has some good thoughts.
