  3. Bo Nix, Tez Johnson make for special story in Oregon's Fiesta Bowl win After putting the final punctuation mark on one of the best seasons in program history Monday, Oregon coach Dan Lanning reflected back on "one of the easiest recruiting deals ever" and one of the most significant for this Ducks team. "Bo [Nix] walks into my office and says, 'Hey, I think we have this guy who can maybe play for us,'" Lanning said, telling the story. "It was like, 'Okay, what do you think? We're going to have to recruit our tail off? What's it going to take?' Bo says, 'No, no, no, Oregon is his dream school.' And today, that guy that walked away with Oregon being his dream school set the single-season record for receptions for an Oregon receiver. Big accomplishment for Tez [Johnson] and nice recruiting job by Bo."

  6. How Dan Lanning's first two years compare to other Oregon Ducks head coaches Ducks has officially come to a close, and he wrapped up his second year in emphatic fashion with a 45-6 win over the Liberty Flames in the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl on Monday. With the win, Oregon improved to 12-2 on the season, and Lanning picked up the second bowl game victory of his career.

Now that we have a two-year sample size to go off of, this felt like a great time to see how Lanning’s accolades from the past two years stack up compared to other coaches of the modern era who have come through the Ducks’ program, potentially look at what it might portend for the future...

  7. Where Bo Nix ranks among Oregon Ducks' all-time greatest passers The 2023 college football season officially came to an end for the Oregon Ducks on Monday with a 45-6 win over the Liberty Flames in the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl, and with it, the historic college career for quarterback Bo Nix saw its final chapter as well. Nix went out with a bang, breaking numerous records on his way to a 28-for-35 showing for 363 yards and 5 touchdowns. Now that Nix’s career as a Duck is over, we can get retrospective and start to look at his numbers as a whole, figuring out where is stands in the history of quarterbacks to play at Oregon. When it comes to elite passers, the Ducks have had a lot of them. From Bill Musgrave to Danny O’Neil; from Joey Harrington to Darron Thomas; from Marcus Mariota to Justin Herbert, there’s a long list of former greats to come from Eugene.

  11. Oregon's defense holds Liberty to fewest rushing yards of the season in Fiesta Bowl win The game plan was simple for the Oregon Ducks going into the Fiesta Bowl and facing Liberty, the nation's best-rushing offense this season. If Oregon could stop the run and get the Flames behind schedule, they would be in a prime position to win the game. When the clock hit zero, and the confetti fell onto the football field following Oregon's 45-6 win, the Ducks could credit how they held the Flames to their lowest rushing total of the year for why they won the game. "The challenge was they're big in the box, and sometimes we can hand it off and get some big yards. We couldn't do that," said Liberty head coach Jamey Chadwell.

  17. Oregon OL Iapani Laloulu on first career start in Fiesta Bowl: 'I've been practicing for this moment' In his first career start, Iapani Laloulu was outstanding in the Ducks Fiesta Bowl victory. In the past week, opt-outs during bowl season have become a subject of multiple conversations. No. 8 Oregon has had its fair share, with Jackson Powers-Johnson, Troy Franklin, and Khyree Jackson deciding not to risk their future in the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl. For Powers-Johnson, a unanimous All-American and Rimington Trophy winner, the decision left the Ducks with a sizable void in their prolific offense. Freshman offensive lineman Iapani Laloulu was the clear choice to replace Powers-Johnson, as he entered games in place of the All-American when the game was a blowout or due to injury. His snaps were limited at center, playing just 45 at center before the Fiesta Bowl. The moment was not too bright for the budding star, playing 65 snaps and helping lead the Ducks to 584 yards and 45 points en route to a 12-2 season for the eighth-ranked team in the country...
