2 plays tonight trying to get cute...2 fails. Cute last week failed. Bad things seem to happen with TT in. Thornton 2 fumbles...that one may be on TT and play calling. D gets a big stop and the O give Utah a TD

2007...Heismann and natty were highly probable. 2015...Vernon Adams doesn't break his finger we probably go to the playoff, not Michigan State.

At least it has green AND yellow...that last game didn't. Just sayin'

My gut tells me the game in Corvallis merits more to the scenario...hope it doesn't! Our formula is simple...win, win, and we're in...and win and it's Rose Bowl baby. Michigan? That is winnable too if we play well

Yeah that FT shooting will doom us against P12 teams. Oh, and we need to get pressure on opposing QBs

David Marsh and cartm25 I think you are on to something...3 DC's is not easy for kids in 3 years, but...we don't have the load of 5 star kids Georgia had that could create pressure with just a 4 man rush and hold up in the back 7. We have some stars and they've proven themselves (Noah, Gonzales) but the D-line is not at the level of the GA, AL, tOSU, Clemson types. Yet. I think the offense will be ok, just need to get those big time D recruits. The next 3 games, 4 if we can figure this out...we need to find a way to create pressure. 4 man rush cover 2 isn't getting it done against good teams. The next 2-3 games will be really good teams!

If he's gone this year due to injury (think Dennis Dixon) then we're looking at 8-5.

31-24...just a TD margin over FSU last year

Nix out we're done

They tried that trick formation before and ran out of time...that's just stupid. Just run it, but outside. Red zone turnovers...our D better figure it out quick or this game is a LOSS. They are playing our clock control game.

3rd and long...we HAVE to improve there

Had Phenix wrapped up, should have been 4th and long...gotta close those out!!!

63-28 Ducks win of course 3 take aways 3 sacks 439 yds passing mutts lose again Nix 6 TD passing 2 rushing 8 total Heismann

A joke I guess...or wishful thinking. Turns out I was sorta right!!!

Sabrina Ruthie and Satou granted another ncaa year due to covid, elibible immediately for this season

I think our success this year will improve recruiting, and kids know about Lanning and Lupoi's success on D. We start filtering in more and more true 5 stars on D, and keep the offensive juggernaut going (no reason to think we won't, curious to see next year with a less experienced O-line) and we will be fine

Good insight David, and I agree. I doubt Nix comes back, but he could have a monster year and Moore could have that one year to grow and learn, and perhaps get more "garbage" minutes, and perform well--hopefully. Thompson was a 5 star too...highest ranked QB in Duck history? Moore will top that, and hopefully...he looks the part. Truth is, Thompson hasn't--yet. So it could be an assumption to say Moore would win the back up spot if Nix returned, or if Nix goes pro, that Moore becomes the first true freshman starter at Oregon in...forever? (Day 1 starter that is...Herbert was like week 5 or 6 I recall?)

At the same time, don't get a starter injured late in a blowout, just for style points...there is a balance there somewhere I suppose

Chip=best rushing, Helfrich=best passing (and Mariota), Lanning/Dillingham= best efficiency and results!

If Nix bails after this season (nobody would blame him if he did) then I bet we see the true freshman win the job next fall

Tennesseeya...TCU won but B12 beating itself up...good chance they lose at least one, may be all we need, especially if they loss the B12 C.G. and a 2 lose team takes the conference. Clemson...lose! I don't care for Notre Dumb but rooting for them today. Mutts should be ranked when we play them, and if little brother wins next 2 they should be too. We can beat 3 ranked teams next 3 weeks. Geaux Tigers!!! Lose Bama, lose!!!

I will be honest, on the road we seem to underperform. Last weekend this week it seems like we should be having an easier time against teams like this if we are really number 8. I'm really not worried about Washington or Utah at home, I am a little nervous about Corvallis and then assuming we make it a neutral site game for the pack 12 championship. The 2 picks are sweet, especially for Gonzalez, but we still give up too may passing yards. Maybe the clock management and middle 8 and cover 2 work so far, but USuC makes me nervous the way we don't get a lot of sacks, and give up pass plays. Go Ducks

Oregon, 66-0, 4 take aways, 5 sacks, 388 passing yards

Wasn't 7 the one Lanning convinced to stay? I thought at least he'd be a punt or KO returner with his supposed speed. Maybe his hands are an issue? I don't know but I've only seen him get a few catches this season.
