Duckhart

Maybe it's just me but I thought our D line looked slow most of the night. I know we are bigger and more talented but they seem slower. Like the outcome of the game and hope for a solid year!

Going to be a shoot out imo, and the team with the ability to pressure on the qb wins.

Team that plays the best D should win. TT at home will be a different team. Oregon 44 TT 38

Primes QB son looked impressive. Seems to have a good feel for the game.

I thought they did well in every aspect but get to the qb. Zero sacks against Portland State?

Ore 54-7 3 6 350

Faced & lost to him in 2021 as a Sooner.

The USC game is huge for the Ducks. We owe Willams one as he picked us apart in 21. Im predicting we lose 1 of USC,Utah,OSU & WA with just one loss for the season. Dont want the 1 loss to be against Riley and Williams.

SC defense is similar to last years Ducks. They just seem a bit slow on the line and backers. We will find out against TT how much our d has improved and what speed we have on the D side of the ball. TT will be very quick on both sides. Should be a fun game, if we win....but what if we lose?

Last years D wasn't good at all. I did expect more as thats Lanning's wheel house. The D line and backers were slow and we must have been the easiest team in the nation to convert 3rd downs on us. I would hope we see a huge improvement this year and are in the top 30 or so D in the nation. Anything like last year is not a good sign.

Yep, very old school. Kids now days could use some it too, imo. Not overboard, but enough to get attention and message across about being focused enough and durable enough to play a violent game. As one who once played the game I loved a coach that got on us and pushed for excellence. And when the coach offered praise and recognition it meant more.

Played Pop Warner & HS football in 60"s. What's Sanders said was all Neon motivational hype. The coaches I had back then at both levels used crude cussing and tough brash talk to get their point across. Get your lazy ... going. wth are you guys doing...knock his fricken.....head off. You AH's want to rum more..Diont play like a bunch of p......just examples ob how this game has evolved. So when I hear ND say when one fights we all fight, I see right through it and the motivation he wants.

I think his message was one for all, all for one. Just didn't want half the team waking away when one of the team members was in a scuff. I dont think he was actually advocating for everyone to rumble, but rather so support for your team member. Im sure Lanning feels the same way.

Co marketing as Quack Bud light

Traditionally the Pac has had maybe 1-3 teams every year that can win the conference championship and are ranked. Oregon has done very well for sometime and fans have been riding that wave of success and anticipation form year to year. It's going to be imperative that we do well in the Big from the start, so that fandom and interest doesn't dampen bit by bit.

I think there University Presidents and AD's should all take a big pay cut for not getting the biggest job of all (with regards to athletics) done. Monumental failure that has historical implications. These guys sit back and get their annual pay raises and pensions bumps on a regular basis, time to take reduction and zero bonus.

Yeah, Oregon Indiana will sell at least 70K seats. JK

Meanwhile, Pac-12 leaders have held “positive” meetings the last two days to examine details of the Apple deal, sources tell @YahooSports . Presidents of schools whose membership is in question participated. A GoR was expected to be presented to presidents at a meeting Friday. 7:11 PM · Aug 3, 2023 · 29.3K Views

Maybe Apple will purchase part of ESPN and the Pac teams may have a tv pkg?

big 10.......

With AZ,ASU & Utah most likely announcing a move to little 12, the big12 has to make a move quicker than they wished to move again into Pac country. Fox will push them too.

Not a fan of PF but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if AZ schools and Utah bolt to b12. Guess we will have to see if there are other things to consider along with the streaming proposal. Im sure it's the eventual trend and it's cool to be on the leading edge but it still several years away for it to become a standard media feature for your typical college football nut. Also, teams will be challenged more so with recruiting. I hope it works out for the Pac staying together!

The realities of the decision also emerged on campus Tuesday, as Arizona coach Jedd Fisch addressed local media about the start of training camp and took multiple questions on realignment. Fisch told local reporters that he videoconferenced with the families of his players to assure them that clarity on the future would emerge soon. He said a guiding force in the process would be "stability wherever we land." Think of the recruits and their families, the questions & uncertainties they may have. Think Dan is video conferencing with his players families?
