I like how he had Boucher carry the bat on the field for the Ducks. Very fitting.

Well at least Oregon won’t have to worry about Jahkeem developing to his full potential. USC is one of the last places I’d want to sign to right now, if I wanted good coaching and development.

Don’t forget that Oregon is only getting 50% of the media share.

I don’t know who I would take over Matayo, Harmon, Muhammad or T-Ferg. Those players are special and are a B1G reason why Oregon is undefeated and the #1 team in the country. Guess it will take awhile for “East Coast” bias to subside. We’ll need to continue to win and win B1G.

I don’t like the idea of weather having a significant outcome on the game. That’s why the top bowls and Super Bowl tend to be in locations that reduce the probability that weather is a major factor. I want the best team to win, not who is the best playing in adverse weather conditions.

He was a terrific running back at Oregon and I’m glad to see him having success in the NFL. I don’t know how he went under the radar, as a recruit and transfer. He’s a special player.

It would make a lot of sense to rotate the B1G championship game between Las Vegas and a site in the traditional B1G footprint (where weather won’t be a factor).

Great article! Thank you for sharing. It’s not going to play well in Seattle, LA, Columbus, et al because they believe that the only reason Oregon is able to sign top recruiting classes is because of PK’s NIL money. The seniors paint a very different picture about the culture at Oregon that Coach Lanning has established and the type of man he is. Tez Johnson: "We tell the recruits... 'When you come here, you're going to practice. You're going to work every day. You're going to go to school. You're going to come back, have meetings, and you'll be up here [points to meeting rooms] all day.’” "If you have any dreams of going to the next level, this is the school you want to be at. There's no other school you want to be at other than here. A lot of schools, you have a lot of distractions around you. But in Eugene, it's football all day." "Every game day, we're ready to run through a brick wall for [Coach Lanning]. Because he's going to give you all that he got. He's going to give you 100 percent every day. He's the most mentally prepared and mentally tough guy I've ever seen in my life. I don't know how he does it. The consistency is unbelievable."

I’m really hoping that the Ducks win the B1G championship in its first season in the new conference! Undefeated, B1G conference champion. How cool would that be? We can worry about the playoffs / seeding / matchups next week…

A public vote of confidence from the AD? Coach Day is gone (unless he wins the national championship). That’s the kiss of death for a coach.

“It pays to be a winner.”

Thanks for sharing. This team is special and is doing things not many teams have done. • 12-0! (the only unbeaten college football team remaining) • 1st unanimous #1 football team in Oregon‘s history But the jobs not done! Oregon went to the conference championship game last year and came up just short. “It’s time to finish the game.”

You’re right, MC is not a bad coach, he’s a really bad coach. I will give him props - MC is an elite recruiter and a great evaluator and developer of offensive lineman. However, I would not want him running my program, interfering in the offense/defense or making game time decisions. Go Ducks!!! So glad that he’s not our problem anymore!

Just thinking about it: Pre-BCS, the upcoming Oregon vs. Penn State game would be in Pasadena on New Year’s Day and if Oregon won the game they would be the unanimous National Champion (AP and Coach’s Poll). Now the game is for a first round bye and the opportunity to play 3 more top 12 teams. That’s how much harder winning the national championship has become (vs. when the mutts won their 1/2 national championship). They didn’t even have to play the other top team, which would have waxed them on the field, IMO.

I keep hoping that the Ducks face a perpetually over-rated ND in the post season but it never happens. They should be treated like any other mid-major. Their schedule is a joke.

Didn’t we hear how deep and tough the SEC is this year and then their top teams started dropping like flies to .500 teams and the SEC’s best team took 8 OT to beat Georgia Tech?!!! Respect everyone, fear no one!

Keep bringing in the beasts up front! I’m sure Bott loved what he saw last night…

To be fair, I think the poster is saying that they could have hired DC Lanning instead of MC. The question is - would Lanning have even been on their hiring radar? Seems like the U likes to hire their own or make a big splash (like USC). All I can say, on behalf of Duck fans everywhere, THANK YOU MIAMI, FOR TAKING MC OFF OUR HANDS!!!! (Addition by subtraction - or, in this case, should we say exponents by subtraction?)

I was really excited/relieved to see the offense clicking again after the much needed bye. Tez will be a huge asset in the B1G Championship Game and playoffs so it was good to see him out there contributing and having a good time. The offensive line did a terrific job blocking and our running backs ran with authority. I was really impressed with the defensive coaching/playcalling against the mutts. Loved the delayed and run blitzes. The players played with discipline and everyone did their assignment. Our defensive line is amazing (10 SACKS in ONE GAME…ARE YOU KIDDING ME?)!!!’ If they stay healthy, they are unblockable. Like the announcers said - who are you going to double team, leaving 2-3 other athletic freaks with 1:1 blocking?). The future is bright and hopefully this is a sign that Oregon is peaking heading into the playoffs, with our spot clinched against the mutts.

Unless Day wins the national championship this season, I wouldn’t be surprised if Ohio State fires him after this season. The expectations in Columbus are sky high (even Buckeye legend Kirk Herbstreit moved away because he couldn’t deal with the fans). Day looks miserable (perhaps he’s just a miserable person) but it could be doing him a favor. That pressure cooker can’t be good for his health.

IIRC, Nebraska did that and hasn’t been the same since.

Dante Moore looked very comfortable and operated the offense extremely well. He has an extremely quick release and throws a really nice ball. He needed to work on reading defenses and making good decisions. Hope is able to take advantage this year.

Not impressed with Oregon’s downfield coverage on the last series before the half. Need to tighten up the coverage. D-like and run defense has been excellent.
