I'm on the Bo Nix bandwagon and I'm the guy who wrote "Beware the Bandwagon Buy In"
The jump Nix has made in his play is AMAZING... this in the new Bo and here is his stat line
His 72% completion that's a 12% increase from last year
His 8.3 yards per attempt is 1.2 yards increase from last year
His 162.4 pass rating is a 30.2 increase from last year
While I was critical of Bo making a jump he has done so. I said I would be happy if he made a jump to the production level Herbs has his senior year as he kept up in the playoff mix until late.
Bo has made such a jump his has surpassed Herbs senior year stats. Right now, Bo has the highest completion percentage in the Pac-12, tied fourth best passer rating.
Bo is playing elite, and his pick six I blame on Kenny Dillingham for running the same pass play to the same side of the field back-to-back.
Nice post! I like his grit
Do you think he will face lessor competition overall, this year than previous years?

Oregons D Line and backers seem a tad slow.
-
I also wasnt impressed with MSU's pass defense.
-
Its to bad, but not real surprising considering all negative being spread about religion/church goers in general.
Its on national news everyday....

He took a new team into TA&M and gave them a ball game.TA&M is supposed was to be a top 5 team in the nation.

Again, it seems, I want to agree with you but can't quite get myself to sign on when it comes to Bo's deep passing skills. To me, he hasn't shown the ability to do that yet. He did throw a beautiful pass deep on Georgia, but a terrific play resulted in it's interception, because it was under-thrown.
In the last game he did it again, right in front of our eyes (we sit on the 7-yard line) and the same thing happened, almost. It was under-thrown. He has a beautiful spiral but maybe his arm isn't as strong as it needs to be. I don't know.
Bingo, I think what will determine a change in QB is if Bo cannot through the long ball and lead receivers deep.
WE have several racehorse wr's just waiting to be led deep. They can run to the ball if its put in the correct place. Butter has a nice deep ball.

I hope DL & KD dont favor guys they brought in versus guys like Cardwell.
I was surprised to see Cardwell not start against Dixie Dawgs.
I could see some young coaches trying to put their signature on things right a way to quickly strengthen their resume.

Lanny and his staff want to be nice and play players that want to play. Dan has said as much.
I dont have a problem with that as the new staff is trying to see who can be game time difference makers.
Me personally, Id like to see a couple featured backs at most and use the others as needed or during blow outs.
Top notch backs waont want to play it by committee and you run the risk of transfer.

Peterson would be an excellent hire.

Urban Meyer
Meyer would fit perfectly for Nebraska. Bet he's a serious consideration.

Was it the forced ball or the lack of precision, and putting the ball where his player has the best shot at catching the ball? Seems like Nix, sometimes lacks the ability to put the ball where it needs to go, rather than just in the direction of the open receiver.
I agree in that he doesn't seem to have that knack of putting the ball where it needs to be and he seems to have that gunslinger style while out of the pocket where he's not afraid of risky throws. Thats ok as long as you can lead your receiver into a deep throw, however if he slings under the D and into coverage he seems to force it with a hopeful pin point pass.
I think he will improve more so under this offense as the season goes on.
-
That the offense will be more innovative than last few years.
Learned that we now have solid receivers and the TE's will be used more than under MC.
Bo still try's to force passes and was lucky he wasn't intercepted a few times. Played decently though.
Rather than feature a few backs we will see KD use multi pack backs through out the year. They want to play players that can play.
-
6 Years of really decent recruiting and it doesn't seem we are all that more talented than some of Mikes teams.
The whole recruiting frenzy and all the star designations, coupled with NIL & the portal, only hypes the expectations more.
I like 2&3 star players that have an axe to grind and huge work ethic.
Some of those boys will be showing up today against the Quack.
-
I didnt like Dan before the game, on the field during stretching telling the players “you are blessed”
-
Its possible that Dan & Ken gave Bo and his dad, we will give him a chance to start several games.
-
He’ 260 and slower

I was dissipointed when he said Nix is our QB. So the close competition was all hot air? MC would not give his backups playing time and now that error is being repeated.
Yeah, I was too. I watched the spring game and Bo didnt look any better than the other two.
I think Dillingham is the one wanting to stay with Bo probably has assurance from Dan that he's the guy.

While it's certainly true it takes time to get used to a new system and is to be expected, it's discouraging that Lanning's superior recruiting (?) has brought us a seasoned 4th year QB who can't get a touchdown against a very good team. We're supposed to wait while he learns some more? Add to that a repeat of not playing the backups. Overall, the team has regressed.
I'm fully ready to support a mediocre team while this systems transition happens. What I can't support is this whole QB baloney. I watched OSU-Boise State last night and the backup QB, a freshman, came in and did a superb job, bringing some inspiration and team play up a level, and forcing the Beavs to put their starters back on the field. They discussed the QB competition in camp where there was a real competition, the result being there was no FEAR to put the backup in the game to jolt some action. But Oregon? Fearful of the QB position.
agree. I think the only reason Bo is here is because his relationship with Kenny D.
-
Not a good look for Dan and Ken.
Should have put another qb after half time.
To me they look disorganized and not ready to play.
260 pound linebacker was slow today and a zero factor and I love him.
Im not that confident now against Eastern WA.

Dixie Dawgs - 44

Quick slant pass to Tight End.

Lanning mantra last year was "create chaos quickly" even by taking risk. Dan & Kenny will try and counter with screen passes and deep routes.
-
Speed is the key for the OL.
If we get a run game going it will open up the passing game like last year against Ohio State. But Ohio States defense wast good at all and it showed. They were very slow on O&D lines much like we were against Utah twice.

Travis is still honeymooning with his new bride & school/team. Making a comment about how he feels about his new surroundings isn't that big a deal and his time as a Duck will always be special to him, Im sure. He was part of many changes here with coaches and such plus being engaged seemed to be a good time for him to create change with a new directions.
When college players that are good enough to play at the next level, they will more than likely be traded a few times and probably making comments comparing old with new.

it reminds of the bend don't break to prevent deep plays. Backers are working in concert with d line to determine the type of O run against them.
