OregonDucks

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.

Coach Dan Lanning on Primetime with Isaac and Suke | Discusses UCLA Game and Previews Michigan State Game https://www.audacy.com/podcast/primetime-with-isaac-and-suke-d0695/episodes/oregon-head-coach-dan-lanning-ed273

It'll be interesting to see what comes out of the meeting. Are we talking about a couple of marquee SEC vs. B1G games per year (e.g., Michigan vs. Texas, Ohio State vs. Alabama, Oregon vs. Georgia) or would every team have a cross conference game every year? If the later, would they schedule based on team expectations to get the most competitive games or would the scheduling be completely random? Lastly, are we talking about neutral site games or home/away games?

That’s a good question. Those players who chose to transfer TO Oregon are definitely part of the Duck family, just like a transfer student. Bo Nix, Bucky Irving, Christian Gonzales, et al had a significant impact on the Oregon program. Nix was an amazing story. He and his family seemed to appreciate the fresh start that Oregon provided and the support they received from the coaches, players and fans. I’m assuming that Bo would consider himself a Duck. Perhaps for players who transfer FROM Oregon, we could add an asterisk: Once a Duck, always a Duck* The one that stung the most was Travis Dye. He was a legacy, played a significant role on the team and decided to go to one of our hated, in conference rivals.

Previewing and Picking Oregon vs. Michigan State on the Autzen Audibles Podcast

I was shocked that a Kirby Smart coached team would come out so flat against a top team. Credit to Georgia for battling back to make it a game.

To the coaches’ credit, they made changes to the OL during the second half of the BSU game and it has improved the OL play drastically. Of course, the real test will be against the top B1G teams.

This is one of the things that I was concerned about before Oregon was invited to the B1G. The SEC and B1G can now set the agenda for college football and carve out an even bigger piece of the financial pie for themselves, backed by ESPN and Fox. I'm thankful that Oregon will have a seat at the table.

HUGE GAME but the boys need to take care of business on Friday night first...
