OregonDucks

The offensive line has been doing a great job but the step up in talent will be significant on Saturday. I’m hoping that they can more than hold their own. One of my favorite plays was when the center dropped back and looped around to help a blitzing linebacker coming from the left edge. The TV announcers highlighted the play. There was another one where Tez pointed out that the CB was going to blitz and DG hit him for a nice gain. The blocking has improved significantly but so has the communication. Anxious to see how the team performs on Saturday (i.e., the mid term).

Why? It looks like the DB just wanted a hug, in the middle of the play…

I am hoping for someone who hasn’t been on Gameday before. In addition to the names above, what about: • Dan Fouts: Legenday Duck, NFL QB and broadcaster • Ahmad Rashad: See above but WR/RB • Neil Everett: Former ESPN SportsCenter anchor, who loves the Ducks • Cole Hocker: 2024 Olympic gold medalist in the 1,500 • CJ Vardell: A troll for our Ohio State visitors after rushing for 161 and 2 TDs on 20 carries (8.0 yards per carry), plus 34 yards receiving and another TD at the Shoe • Sam Elliott: Academy award-nominated actor with iconic voice, attended U of O from 1962-63 (only if he wears a cowboy hat) So many great Ducks to choose from!

I wish Canzo would just cover Oregon State and Washington State and leave the University of Oregon to others.

A head coach with prolific offenses and Heisman winning QBs but questionable defenses and limited success in the post-season. They certainly like flash in LA (style over substance)!

And that’s why I’m not a big fan of this offense. I like more balance with a solid running game and intermediate passing game. Oregon’s current offense works well against teams with lessor talent (i.e., most of the schedule) but we’ll see how it performs against elite defensive talent. I think that Ohio State will stack the box and play press, man to man coverage outside, until Oregon shows it can consistently beat them downfield. Hopefully Evan Stewart is healthy and ready to roll on Saturday.

Those former OCs under Pete Carroll have been doing quite well at programs that are all in on football, haven’t they?

LOL. Maybe their fans will realize there are more problems in LA LA Land than the head football coach or conference…

LOL. That’s a joke. We all know that Penn State is incapable of beating Ohio State or Michigan. Yahoo doesn’t take in the eyeball test into consideration. Texas and Ohio State look like the best teams to me, right now, but I also wouldn’t sleep on Georgia. I don’t know what to make of Alabama after yesterday’s game… P.S. - Husky fans will tell you that they should be #1 after they “revenged” their loss in the championship game last night (just don’t remind them that Harbaugh is back in the NFL and they don’t have the same teams)…

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.
