Let's make it happen, Lanning!

Good point. Pass rush needs to win fast. DBs were strong all year long. Thanks for an awesome year!

Hoping for some big W's there. Can't wait.

Really like the idea of "inertia" powering the team. Momentum is a very real thing in football. Past needs to return with SPEED SPEED SPEED. Thanks for a great year!

Appreciate the feedback! Glad you enjoyed the season. Totally agree, big-play explosions were the major change. Lots of fun ahead (hopefully) in 2023 even without Dillingham. Thanks for a great year!

Butterfield's been getting a lot of buzz in this thread... wonder if we'll see him in limited action this year. Would love to see what he can do when the games matter. Gotta stay positive! Kudos to you!

Love what you touched on with both coaching staffs' respect. These teams deserve a ton of credit for what they've created this year, and for Utah in particular, the past five years or so. Let's just count on the Ducks to make sure this isn't the Utes' day. Interesting note about staying in the PAC-12! Would love some fresh blood.

Respecting Bo's rushing ability is an impossible component to replicate, agreed. Touched on this in the article, but a loaded box is going to show a much different Oregon team potentially tomorrow. Love the 7-on-7 comment!

O-line has only been touched on a bit, but it's real cause for concern like you said with the injureis we had last week. Should definitely be a tough game, but you're right. we get some breaks and turnovers? We're in business. I think we can still go toe-to-toe with Utah's A game.

Thanks for being honest with your opinion! Interesting take on Butterfield. It does feel strange that given how Ty has done in mop-up duty, there hasn't been at least one set of snaps that Butterfield gets in on. Maybe it's that recruiting position weight that you hold over your head, like a first round pick in the NFL? Coaches not wanting to look like the team or program missed on someone? Who's to say.

I like your take on the depth chart. There's a certain added level of respect, huh? "Come try and beat our best; we already know you can't." Love the enthusiasm about Ty!

That's what we like to hear! Surprise surprise, talented quarterbacks thrive when they get a real shot! Would love to see him take advantage of his big arm and start zipping some passes like we've all thought he could the past couple of years.

GREAT take. I surely agree with this being Bo's team., and think that you're spot on about having a sigh of relief for next year. While it would be fun to see some more of Ty, Bo has played lights out. No reason to shut him down. Huge test for Ty that I think he'll excel in.

Let's hope the defense can step it up! Need a big game in the front seven particularly. With Rising back out there, the Ducks are going to need to shut him down as a rushing threat. Fast. I agree that a large part of this game weighs on the Oregon defense's shoulders, but I still think closing it out will come down to quarterback play.

I like it! Maybe we see a 200+ rushing day from the Ducks again? Wouldn't that put some much-needed pressure on these Utes...
