OregonDucks

After watching Miami’s last two games, I would love for Miami to go undefeated and play Oregon in the college football playoffs (even if the game is in Miami)! Duck fans fondly remember the result of the last time an Oregon team played an undefeated ACC teams in the playoffs…

I agree. Tez is a terrific talent (thank you, Bo!) but DG has to find a way to spread the ball around a bit more (Tez has more receptions than the next two receivers combined). DG seems to be locking in on Tez too often and is consequently missing open receivers. Oregon has a lot of weapons on offense. We need to spread the ball around especially against the best teams like Ohio State. I’m also not a big fan of OC Will Steins’ reliance on short passes (dink and dunk). Ohio State is going to press with their NFL talent until Oregon proves that they can beat them down the field. We need more intermediate passes this weekend and to hit on a couple of the deep throws.

LOL. Someone was caught sending in their college football weekend recap article early, before the end of the game…

If you throw out the traditional brand names, Oregon has a tougher strength of schedule with a win against a potential playoff team. Luckily, most voters do not agree with you. Miami should have one or two losses, if the officials did not intervene. Miami certainly has no one on their schedule tougher than Oregon’s next opponent. That’s not even debatable.

College football needs to do away with conference officials. All college officials should be NCAA officials to reduce these potential biases. The NFC South does not have their own officials.

The ACC replay booth saw your post and laughed out loud. Never bet against ACC refs!

Now the question is - who will the guest picker be?!

It really doesn’t matter. Oregon will have to play a complete and clean game in all 3 phases to win the Ohio State game - something that the team hasn’t done this season, yet.

Good W. Bring on the Buckeyes.

That was a money throw and catch on the TD.

Hopefully with the expanded playoffs and/or B1G and SEC alliance, we'll see a Georgia and Oregon matchup in Eugene. You Dawg fans would be welcomed with open arms!

The defense is playing how Coach Lanning and Coach Lupoi envisioned - wrecking havoc on the line, flying around, making tackles and playing tight coverage on the backend. What a difference from when Coach Lanning took over the program. Might be the strength of the team right now.

Have you been to a game at Autzen?

On the positive, our offensive line looks fantastic and James is having his best game in an Oregon uniform. Keep it going. Not a single pass on the last TD drive.

DG is not making good decisions in the redzone, which is surprising for someone with as much experience as he has. Trying to force it too much. Need to run the ball!

How was that not unnecessary roughness/roughing the passer? DG got lit up after he released the ball. Hope DG is okay.

Corso will be ready to don the Duck head next weekend in Eugene with his pal The Duck!!!

Some big time names visiting Eugene tonight. Hopefully the Autzen faithful can showcase how special gameday is in Eugene and our team gets the W.

B1G Today | Preview Week 6 Football: Michigan State at Oregon

Another great article! With all of the transfers and injuries to key starters, it makes sense that the team hasn't gelled yet. Oregon has shown flashes of what they are capable of becoming. Time will tell if they can live up to their potential. I'm thankful for the easy schedule to start off the season to give the team time to work out the kinks and find themselves. I'm anxious to see how Oregon's offensive line holds up against better competition. Michigan State's defensive front should be a good test tonight and then we have some monsters coming into Autzen next Saturday.

Talkin' Ducks FULL episode | Recapping Oregon's win over UCLA and looking ahead to Michigan State

A lot of us share your frustration. College football used to be about the traditions, rivalries and pageantry...now the focus is on money and crowning a true champion. Any given year, a non-blue blood program, like Oregon, could beat the blue bloods, win a conference championship, play in a major bowl game on New Years Day (e.g., Rose Bowl) and eventually could potentially rise to become one of the top programs in college football. Now that does not seem like it'll be possible unless you are invited to the SEC or B1G, as the financial and talent gap will only continue to grow. I am thankful that the University of Oregon and its boosters invested in football a couple of decades ago based on the success of Coach Brooks and Coach Bellotti's teams; otherwise, we would most likely be alongside Oregon State and Washington State right now trying to rebuild a conference...

I like your criteria and can't fault a player who contributes to the team/program (even on the practice squad), while in Eugene, but realizes that they won't play meaningful minutes and transfers to a program where they believe that they will have more playing time. Most people who have played competitive sports, want to see their field, pitch, court, etc. - they are competitors. I'm still a bit torn by Travis Dye. He was playing and contributing but decided to transfer to an in-conference rival who competed against Oregon for the conference championship his senior year.

Given that the Ohio State game is not really a "night" game with a 4:30pm local kickoff, I would prefer the traditional green and yellow throw back jerseys (like what DG is wearing below) but we'll probably wear the all black. I'd save the all black for Washington.
