OregonDucks

Or an Oregon legend like Dan Fouts. No offense but most people do not know Kaitlin Olson and I’m sure that ABC/Disney wanted her there to promote her new show. Huge opportunity wasted to celebrate and promote the program.

SC blew a tremendous opportunity. Nyck Harbor, former Oregon recruit, made a great TD catch to give SC an opportunity to tie the game. Man is he tall.

Yes, they can be. I really hope it’s not too serious and Mr. Burch can get back on the field soon. He was just starting to play up to his potential and show NFL scouts that he should be a first round selection. The back to back plays where he had a huge tackle for a loss and then a QB sack were a thing of beauty (unless you were rooting for the opposing team)!

I loved the “We Want Vandy!” sign at College Gameday this morning.

Love it! Oregon should play that video right before the team comes out of the tunnel today, before kickoff.

What’s up with playing Ohio State and Oregon’s star edge rushers?! (Hopefully the game turns out the same as it did in 2021 and Jordan Burch goes top 5 in the 2025 NFL Draft…)

I root for all of the former PAC-12 schools (but I never mind if the Fuskies lose) and against all of the other teams around Oregon in the rankings to lose…

College Gameday is not the same without Mr. Corso.

The quarterback transfer reality: You must win now in big-money college football world Opinion: The quarterback transfer reality: You must win now in big-money college football world SPORTS.YAHOO.COM When you're a college football coach needing to win now, a transfer quarterbacks is quickly... “The first three teams in the poll – Texas, Ohio State and Oregon – are using transfer quarterbacks. Five of the top 10 teams, and 11 of the top 25 have starting quarterbacks who transferred from another school. Two of the four teams in last year’s College Football Playoff were transfers.” “Recruit and develop the most important position on the field, or recruit the transfer portal for immediate impact?” “There’s less to guess, less of the unknown,” a Power Four conference coach told USA TODAY Sports. “You can recruit a high school (quarterback) where everything is new, and you have no idea how he’ll react from week to week. Or you can get a guy from the portal, who has college tape, who has won and lost and already dealt with the highs and lows and nothing is going to faze him. It’s a no-brainer.”

The B1G and SEC meeting was a warning shot and reminder to the NCAA, playoff selection committee, private equity and everyone else of who is really in charge of college sports.

LOL. I was concerned that "rear-ends" was now a bad word on FishDuck.

Bummer. Hope The Duck and Duck fans do something fun to let Mr. Corso know that we love and miss him in Eugene!

Nick Saban talks Oregon competing in the Big 10 + thoughts on Bama after lost | The Pat McAfee Show Nick Saban (who's team played at Autzen when he was the HC at Michigan State: "This is a tough environment, in this stadium, to play in. It was really difficult." Coach Saban also said that he was much tougher on a team after a big win than after a loss. "That's what fans don't understand - no one feels worse about losing than the players."

Oregon's Dan Lanning Joins Pat McAfee Before #2 vs #3 Matchup vs Ohio State (full segment)

Good point! No, Ohio State's 2024 offense is not better than UW's 2023 offense (but their defense is better). Oregon played some ridiculous QBs last season, including the #1 overall NFL pick and Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams. Will Howard is a good QB but I don't believe that he is an elite QB and I certainly wouldn't take him over DG. Our defense has seen some really good offenses and it will come down to execution.

This is not going to end well...

I'm so glad that Oregon doesn't have to play WSU or Stanford anymore...

You are correct, Charles, Oregon has a huge opportunity to change the national perception of Oregon this season and it starts this Saturday. I believe that the "soft" perception is lazy and is applied to all West Coast programs. USC was labeled soft when they had NFL talent across the offense and defensive lines under Pete Carroll with Bush and White in the backfield. You'd think that of all of the programs in the B1G, the Buckeyes and their fans would have learned that Oregon is not "soft" after we went into the Shoe and rushed for 269 yards (7.1 YPC), while limiting Ohio State to 128 yards (4.1 YPC), getting the win. If you watch the Oregon marketing videos and game recaps, you see that Coach Lanning constantly preaches physicality (heck, there was an entire episode dedicated to it). I'm sure that he is using the press clippings this week to motivate his team to show the nation the brand of football they want to play. He knows that to beat the best teams in the nation, you have to play physical football and win at the line of scrimmage. Oregon can win the game but they'll have to bring their A game for 4 quarters (which they haven't shown they can do, yet) -- play clean football, limit turnovers and penalties, and hold their own on the line of scrimmage. This game will not make or break the season but is a good measuring stick for the Oregon Ducks. P.S. - I LOVE that Oregon is the underdog at home and we aren't getting respect nationally. Players have said that this week's practices have been more intense than normal and they are focusing on the small details. The coaches will have our team ready to go and I believe that Oregon will come out and play its best football of the season on Saturday.

Ohio State’s D is stout but Iowa is not known for offense. Oregon will have to pass downfield to open up the running game and short pass/screen game, IMHO. We’ll see if DG is able to hit on a couple of downfield throws. As we have discussed on other threads, I hope that Coach Stein opens up the playbook and that T. Ferg. and E. Stew. are a bigger part of the offense against Ohio State.

Joel Klatt Show | Ohio State vs. Oregon: Will the Buckeyes earn a win in top 5 matchup?

Too late. I've already signed up for YouTube TV and like it much better, thus far.

The interview is worth watching if you want to learn more about Coach Lanning's background and mindset. It's the most comfortable and open I've seen him. Oregon is very fortunate to have such a wonderful person leading our program and I can see why recruits and the team can really connect with him, as a person.
