Canzano: Pac-12 Title Contenders Ride Against Traffic
Smith72 replied to NJDuck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Does that concern me? No. I haven't liked some of John's columns, but for the most part I find his writing to be informative. -

The Oregon Ducks Offense: Hitch Seam Y-Cross
Smith72 replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Thank you Eric for another great analysis! Appreciate that it was for the passing game. You said, "Coach Dillingham forces the defense to declare their coverage through alignment." Not only does it open the middle of the field and declare the coverage, but it gives a veteran QB like Bo easy reads as he goes thru his progressions. Another killer aspect of spreading the defense is the running ability of Bo Nix. Especially when the 5 defenders in the box part like the Red Sea and Bo runs! -

Midseason Report: Give Lanning an F
Smith72 replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
So very true, Drex, football is fun again for players and fans. I'm so thankful for Coach Lanning, his entire staff, and the talented players they brought to Oregon. Thanks for the memories as Bob Hope would say! Growing up in Eugene and graduating in 1972. I can understand, "The day two elderly die-hard Oregon fans sat in the rain, still believing, as the Ducks worried their way to a second straight 2-9 season." Thank you Drex! -

Ducks Top-Shelf Offensive Line a Difference Maker for Oregon
Smith72 replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Thanks for putting the spotlight on the successful offensive line Jordan. They are the key to Oregon's explosive offense. Line coach Klemm and Offensive Coordinator Dillingham add coaching and scheme to their success. Don't forget the roles served by Marcus Harper and Jackson Powers-Johnson. They have played alot and their contributions help maintain a solid group of superior linemen with no drop off in ability. -
After watching the Tennessee and Alabama game I only have one question. When will the Pac-12 referees be fired? Let the players play! The game is not about the guys in the stripes. Every week there is controversy. Every week the stripes have a long committee meeting where it looks like nobody knows what to do!

Ducks Mid-Season: Tell Us What Surprises You So Far
Smith72 replied to DazeNconfused's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I'm pleasantly surprised by the offense created and called by Coach Dillingham. I had hoped for improved scoring, but all the creative ways Oregon is attacking defenses is very welcome. Keeping a defense guessing and attacking all areas of the field is refreshing! Predictability led to the boring prevent offense we endured. Giving a defense too much to think through leads to confusion and slow reactions. Kudos to Kenny Dillingham! -
