Is there a better motivator in college football today than Dan Lanning?!

The B1G got a steal with Oregon. We have to pull the dead weight for both LA schools and our little brother up North...

Urban Meyer, on a B1G Network show, mentioned that offensive line is the hardest position to recruit today. There simply aren't enough big, athletic high school players to fill the rosters of all of the top programs so you have to project what a 6'3", 270 lb. kid will play like at 325 lbs. and then you need to get him in the weight room and work on technique. I believe that he was referring to Ohio State but indicated that no one has much depth on the offensive line.

You get a pass, if you’ve won a couple of national championships in the past couple of years… Sweeney at Clemson is another one. Guess his last championship is outside the window.

The same could be said of many coaches/schools across the nation - Franklin/Penn State, Riley/USC, DeBoer/Alabama, etc. Both coaches looked on edge in the OSU/PSU game and it looked like their heads were going to explode at any minute. We should be thanking our lucky stars right now. “The grass is damn green, in Eugene.”

"What’s so special about football is the love in that room. How many people get to go work and talk about the love everybody they get to go to work with. I love our team. I love everybody in that locker room. That makes this a lot of fun." - Coach Lanning, Post-Michigan Game Press Conference You heard it from Coach Lanning and Dillon Gabriel, after the game, that this TEAM loves and believes in one another. Some of the transfers mentioned, earlier this week, how quickly the TEAM has bonded, and that they are grateful to be at Oregon, pursue their goals including competing for a championship. To win a championship, you need more than just good players, coaches and a system, you need chemistry. This TEAM appears to have that special bond to go with their incredible talent and a veteran QB leading the offense. I would not bet against the 2024 Oregon Ducks football TEAM!

I didn't realize that Holden had 149 yards (24.8 YPC) until I saw the box score. Huge game! We'll need him to step up big time, if Tez is expected to miss multiple games.

This. My understanding is that the ball can touch the ground, as long as the ground doesn't aid in the reception. That said, the B1G replay officials should have probably stopped the game to review the play and we would have been upset if we were Michigan fans.

I’m rooting for USC. Be great to break those purple mutts hearts with a game winning TD with no time left on the clock.

My vote for the most clutch Oregon receiver would go to Keenan Howry. I don’t remember him ever dropping a pass and he always seemed to pick up that key 3rd and long. He is also responsible for one of my favorite Duck plays when he took the Beaver punt to the house to win the game for the Ducks. Not the biggest or most athletic receiver but an incredibly route runner with great hands.

Maehl was a good receiver but I don’t recall him ever catching a one handed pass, in the back of the end zone, like E-Stew did today. Few receivers can and Coach Lanning said that E-Stew does it all the time in practice. E-Stew has a chance to be a high draft pick and have a long, successful career in the NFL. His upside is a lot higher than Maehl’s.

As I said on the game thread, E-Stew is the best pass catcher that I have seen in an Oregon uniform. IMO, he has an opportunity to be a team's #1 wide receiver in the NFL given his athletic ability, pass catching ability and route running. He just has to keep working on his craft.

Surprised that Oregon didn’t take a knee there.

Nice to get the W on the road, against the defending champions. Hope none of the injuries are too serious. Remaining regular season games: Maryland @ Wisconsin Washington (after bye)

Holden is having a great game. Will need him to continue step up with Tez out.

Didn’t we just say last week, how deep our team is? If they are wearing down then the coaches need to pay more attention to snap counts. Oregon’s defense is missing tackles and losing receivers in space. Our front 4 has been inconsistent getting pressure. Very inconsistent performance today, against a mediocre, one-dimensional offense.

Defense is making Michigan’s offense look good.

After watching the Michigan game, I'll say no, this is not the best Oregon defense ever. They are good but not great.

Big FG there. Puts Oregon up by 2 TDs heading into the 4th quarter.

One of Oregon's linebackers is not having a good game and is missing open field tackles. Could be why we are seeing Jacobs. Need more speed.

Not a good start to the second half. For whatever reason, the team has not been good in the 3rd quarter this season. Time to put an espresso machine in the locker room at halftime?

The right tackle was more than 5 yards down the field on the backside. Shame because he wasn't even involved in the play.

E-Stew is the best pass catcher I have ever seen at Oregon! Shame it came back. That is how you grab momentum back heading into half time!

I thought he had a black sling on.

As the announcer said, beautifully called drive by Coach Stein and execution by DG.
