Have the long snapper play center and have DG line up 15 yards behind the line of scrimmage? LOL.

What do you call? * We can't run the ball... * Our offensive line cannot block for more than 2 seconds... Maybe keep 2 backs or TEs in the backfield to pass protect?

I would be all for it! He's 66 years young.

At least we can look forward to another great analysis by Charles with plenty of film of what went wrong (again). Maybe Oregon's offensive line coaches can refer to his article because I don't know what the heck they've been doing all week.

LOL. What is Oregon's offensive line capable of doing; other than watching pass rushers go by them? I've been watching Oregon football for decades and this is by far the worst offensive line I have ever seen at Oregon. Coach Greatwood would develop under the radar recruits into a cohesive unit. I don't know who is responsible for this mess we are watching.

This team is playing like trash. DG should have gone somewhere else. Oregon is wasting his talent and he is going to get hurt.

Oregon's left tackle is terrible. Totally whiffed.

Glad to see Stewart getting the ball down the field after DG didn't see him open a few times last week. Over 100 yards and a TD in the first half!

Oregon's offensive line is worse than Colorado's.

3 and out?

Glad to see these teams rekindle an old rivalry. Also glad to see Colorado down 21-0 in the second quarter.

Iowa lost to Iowa State at home.

2025 NFL Mock Draft – WalterFootball WALTERFOOTBALL.COM wth?!!! I stopped reading after I saw that projection.

It appears that Oregon matches up very well against Boise State and it could be a good "get well" game. Boise State's defense has major issues and their offense is one dimensional, although the running back is a stud and will get his yards. This is not the Peterson/Harsin's Boise State teams. The team still has to show up angry, play clean and execute.

Thank you. I did not realize that the two backup guards were also out due to injury. That explains a lot (but not the technique or effort issues). Does anyone know what the injuries are to the backup guards and how long they expect to be out? [Given how tight coaches keep this information, I doubt it but thought I’d ask…]

Thank you for the detailed analysis and write-up, Charles. After reading your article, I am even more concerned about Oregon's offensive line play. Based on the clips, it looks like there are issues with assignments, technique and desire. I'm sure that the offensive line got their butts handed to them during film study earlier this week. Below are a few questions for you or someone more knowledgable about offensive line: 1. How correctable are the issues that you are seeing and how long should it take to "right the ship"? 2. Are we really thin on the offensive line that we can't patch it up for one game (note: it's not like we were playing Ohio State)?

Yikes. Look at those shadows! The sun might have impacted DG's vision on this play.

Good idea. However, someone mentioned that it is not that simple, it takes time to get comfortable playing the other side (e.g., technique). If Oregon were going to do this, they should have made the switch in spring or fall camp.

Yes, but we haven’t really seen that at Oregon. Bo took some deep shots but some called him “check down Bo.” I don’t think it was Bo but rather Coach Stein’s offensive philosophy - get the ball out quick to your playmakers and let them make the defender miss. The issue is that better defenses will crowd the line of scrimmage. Does Coach Stein have counters in his playbook (e.g., fake WR screens, hitch and go routes) like we used to see from Chip/Helfrich, who were masters at setting up a defense.

That was Oklahoma’s offense - downfield passes to their talented WRs. Makes you wonder if this is just Oregon’s offensive philosophy under Coach Stein…

I share his concern. It could be a long season if Oregon can’t get the offensive line issues fixed quickly (see Colorado last year). I’m looking forward to Charles’ article on Friday and to learn whether he believes it can be a quick fix.
