OregonDucks

Irving is not having a great game with at just under 4 yards a carry but he is not able to get any momentum.

Noah Whittington : 6.3 yards per carry

I want to know why Oregon abandoned the running game? Only 14 carries through the 3rd quarter. I just don't understand the game plan with an injured Nix. For comparison purposes, Utah has 2x the number of carries.

Momentum can change on one play.

That was on Lanning. Have Bo Nix hand off the ball!!!

If Oregon can get to the Pac-12 Championship Game, I'm not sure how Oregon would slow down Caleb Williams and USC's offense. With a banged up Bo Nix, I'm not confident that we can score enough to win that game. UCLA would have been a more favorable match up for Oregon, IMHO.

Gutsy performance by Bo Nix and the Oregon defense in the first half.

Not a fan of what we are doing on offense. Too many quick, short passes. Run the ball!

Dante Moore is reportedly still trying to recruit top players to Oregon, which is always a good sign. It appears that Dante's Detroit Kings are in the championship game again. Best of luck to Dante and his teammates as they try to repeat as champions. Mlk Varsity Boys Football | Michigan High School Athletic Association WWW.MHSAA.COM

If Bo Nix is done, I would like to wish the young man the best in his future endeavors. It has been a pleasure watching him play this season. Bo has proved the doubters wrong and made Oregon’s offense fun to watch again. He is the main reason that the Ducks were in the playoff conversation late in the season and have a shot to win the conference. God speed.

Per Canzano’s latest article: “The Big Ten’s media rights distributions were grossly inflated when they were initially released this summer. The real distribution figure is an annual average of $62.5 million, per school, less than the $72 million or $80 million figures that were originally leaked.” Canzano: Humility is good medicine for a coach (and us all) WWW.JOHNCANZANO.COM Candid and authentic... wins every time.

I am still pissed that Travis Dye transferred to USC. USC?!!! Couldn’t have picked any other school?! I was hoping the Ducks could abut down Travis in the PAC-12 championship and blow out the Trojans. That said, it’s sad to see Travis injured. By all accounts, he is a terrific young man. I hope that he is able to heal and pursue his dreams.

And DAT didn't stop once he got to Oregon.. The most explosive player in Oregon football history.

Trech is shifty but not nearly as fast as DAT (very few are). My first thought was that he would be a good potential replacement for Chase Cota in the slot and a good punt returner. For those of you who do not remember what DAT was doing in high school, I leave you with this gem. His highlight real was like a video game. Unreal. So glad that he chose to play for Chip Kelly at Oregon!

LOL. What Coach joined Jim Harbaugh in voting Michigan #1?

I also prefer the 12:30pm PT kickoff slot but the slightly later time gives fans, especially students, more time for pre-game beverages..

Not sure if Coach Dillingham would be more interested in an NFL OC or college HC but the consideration speaks volume for the job he is doing in Eugene. Oregon’s offense is fun again and that is due to Dillingham and Bo Nix. I am enjoying every minute of it. Personally, I hope that Dillingham and Nix come back to Eugene for “ONE MORE YEAR.” But, if not, hopefully Lanning has some potential OCs in his notebook.

It’s all about the atmosphere, not how many people are sitting in the stands. “I think Autzen Stadium. Per person, the Oregon stadium is the loudest stadium I’ve ever been in.” - — Lee Corso, ESPN GameDay.

Subscription required. Can someone please summarize what the recruits had to say?

Perhaps these fit into your list but I would assume that gameday atmosphere (#3?) and track record of sending players at your position to the NFL (#1?) would also matter to recruits.

They do realize that USC is leaving the conference?

What happened to USC’s wide receiver?

USC’s QB has really poor body language when he faces adversity. I noticed it in the Oregon State game, as well.

Could you set up a rule that if x number of posters report the post as inappropriate then the post is hidden until a moderator is able to review the content? I don’t think that you should spend time sending all violators emails. Just re-word or delete the post if it’s minor.

This is a really tough question. I don’t think it’s ever okay to call current players or coaches derogatory names/nicknames or comment about personal beliefs/issues/looks. My preference would be that this would be extended to former players, coaches and opposing teams because I personally don’t believe that this behavior represents the University of Oregon well, and as you mentioned player’s and potential recruit’s families and friends read these message boards. I wouldn’t be surprised if players themselves looked from time to time, although I would advise them to avoid all media/social sites. Criticism of a play or call seems like it should be allowed, as long as it’s professional and not personal. I prefer to leave out a player’s name or number, when possible, because they are young adults trying their best. No one should be more upset about a mistake or bad play, as the player themselves. The coaches should be reviewing game tape with the players and teaching them from their mistakes. Just my take.
