Five Keys to Oregon’s Game Against BYU
Thank you DazeNConfused! Your 5 keys to the game are critical. Your points are very descriptive. You said, "Lanning has implemented a plan to coach his players up and address those issues.". The key word in that quote was " up". Coach Dan Lanning is coaching his team. Positive teaching to help his players improve! Who wouldn't run through a wall for that kind of man.

Another source for the story! Pac-12 survival: Amazon's Thursday night NFL broadcast could be a peek into the Pac-12's future WWW.KSL.COM The digital media giant is a potential partner for the conference. Annual revenue earnings for Amazon is $469.822B.

Pac-12 Considering Partnership With Amazon
Amazon streaming could be the answer to generating more revenue for Pac-12 universities. According to Jon Wilmer, he was told, “It’s smart,” a second source said. “They could get more money relative to their real media value with Amazon.” Another news article I read reported that Amazon wants to dominate college football in the Western half of the USA. Tonight starts the Thursday Night NFL season that Amazon paid the NFL a billion dollars. Amazon supposedly has net worth of 1.2 trillion. In other words they have lots of cash! Sources tell Jon Wilner that George Kliavkoff is making a serious run at Amazon WWW.MSN.COM Is this surprising? No. Is it important? Yes. Jon Wilner of The Wilner Hotline has been informed by multiple sources in the media industry...

Your Thoughts on Ducks’ 5 RB Rotation?
I agree with cartm25, it helps a RB to get into a rhythm and get his body into game condition. Not giving the defense a situational "tell" is another benefit of 2 playing instead of a committee of 5. My two cents worth: Cardwell (40%), and Dollars (40%). Then Irving (10%) and Whittington (10%) to provide a rest for fresh legs or in case of injury to first two. In case of blow out in 2nd half rest Cardwell &Dollars and let the other 4 take turns. Both Cardwell and Dollars run strong and fast. Both have good hands for receiving passes out of backfield. This makes them my two favorites. Last season playing behind Verdell and Dye, Cardwell had 61 attempts running the ball averaging 6.8 yards per carry. In the Colorado game he ran for 127 yards. One of those showed his speed at hitting the hole and running for 34 yards. He's had very few chances to demonstrate his speed. Last year because of MC's staff. This year, my opinion is, Dollars and Cardwell need more opportunities.

Oregon Ducks Football: Don’t Count Bo Nix Out Yet
Two backs like Lamichael James and Kenyon Barner! I feel Cardwell and Dollars fit this description. The others would be good insurance in case of injury.

Recruiting Stunner: Oregon Assembling ELITE Defensive Line Class for 2023
I would agree the quantity needs to improve. However, you can't complain about the quality! Josh Connerly, Dave Iuli, Michael Wooten, Sir Mells, and Kawika Rogers bring talent and size to the OL.

The Oregon Ducks Offense: The Bunch Toss
Thanks Eric for the analysis! Good teaching. I'm sure there are complimentary plays to this base play. RB pass to backside WR getting behind an aggressive safety for example.

Good News, Duck Fans: We’re Going to the Rose Bowl
David said, "They were unpleasant to experience for fans, coaches and players alike — but the team learned major lessons from those games." I agree with this. It is best to learn these lessons earlier with a young team. The teaching that is occurring now will result in more growth. Ownership of this in practice will better serve the players in games. Saban and Smart credit the Derecruitment of "stars" in their successful programs. The Georgia loss is a major attention getter in this process. I have faith that Oregon's coaches are doing this as they teach our talented young Ducks!

Selected Plays from Saturday, Broken Down
Watching this video gives me hope that our line and our running game will have a great season. Georgia's pass defense is awesome. Coach Dillingham has some good concepts run and pass. Oregon made some good yardage running against Georgia. Oregon coaches and players will be studying a lot of film. Improvement of the offense from game 1 to game 2 will be major! Go Ducks!

Yesterday’s Adversity Is an Opportunity for the Ducks To Grow
It's hard when you prepare to face last year's offense, and then the new Georgia TE Air Raid passing offense shows up! Opportunity to teach! I too would like to see less musical chairs with the running backs. Fresh legs is great but play your top two more - Byron Cardwell and Sean Dollars! Mar’Keise Irving started and had five carries for 13 yards; Sean Dollars had four carries for 33 yards; Byron Cardwell had four for 28; Noah Whittington had three for 14; and Jordan James had seven for 15. Thanksfor a great pep talk and focus for next week!

Green Blitzes: Lanning Begins the New Mint Defense at Oregon
Charles said, "this new Mint defense capitalizes upon deception and unpredictability for its success in holding down scoring and creating turnovers." It's going to be exciting to see the havoc created by out-thinking opponents with pressure, mistakes, and turnovers. No more successful third and 19 being converted by an opponent! I love giving recognition to Coach Aliotti! Coach Nick is an Oregon legend. IMHO, with him as head coach and Helfrich as Offensive Coordinator, Oregon wouldn't have experienced the decline when Chip Kelly left.

USC’s Flight to Blizzardville, and Other Cheesy Jowly Things
Fun read Drex! I love the "flight on" - please keep 'em coming. I'm glad I wasn't sipping my coffee when I read, "Where the legend lives on from the Chippewa on down Of the big lake they called Gitchee Gumee. The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead When the skies of November turn gloomy." Great burn on the University of Spoiled Children. Thank you!

Question About Ducks O-Line
Not only will scheme be different with Coach Dillingham, but Coach Klemm brings a whole lot of experience to coaching up the O line. In my humble opinion a major upgrade from Mr. Physicality and Mini- Me!

What's Your Most Memorable Fictional College Sports Program?
What's your "Most Memorable Fictional College Sports Program"? My favorite was " Waterboy". I laughed constantly during the movie. MSN has an article about this that I couldn't copy and post. But in the article there was a fictional movie I never saw, but sounds like our infamous backstabbing University of Spoiled Children. The team was the "University of Los Angeles Peacocks"!
