Steven A Moderator No. 1 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Go ahead and ignore the Washington problem (along with the Penix problem, not mine). I've certainly moved on from them. MSN WWW.MSN.COM 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OregonDucks No. 3 Share Posted December 26, 2023 "As I watch Lanning construct his team in his image, the blueprint is exactly what made Alabama and Georgia the top programs in the nation. Oregon is getting dynamic athletes in the trenches: ones that wreck and control games." 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicroBurst61 No. 4 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I certainly anticipate it to be so. Oregon certainly appears to be situated for a long time run as a consistent top ten program. Make it so Dan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktmguy2018 No. 5 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Joel Klatt had a great video on this as well. It was wrapped up in his Oregon / Liberty analysis, but he has HIGH praise for Oregon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevada Dawg No. 6 Share Posted December 27, 2023 If the Ducks aspire to be elite, they sure as he-- better beat Liberty, a team with a SOS ranked 133 of 133 FBS teams. As I have heard it said in Athens, "You are either elite or you are not. Trite perhaps but true. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triphibius No. 7 Share Posted December 27, 2023 One nugget buried in the analysis: DL observing that "we did not have a good plan" against UW. My suspicion, also. Analysis forthcoming? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck of a 3-pete run that came up just short for the Dawgs. FSU next in the Orange Bowl. Will any FSU players be in Florida for the game? No. 5 vs. No. 6 and I'm not certain No. 5 will be able to field a team. Bring on the expanded PO and expand the field to 16 in 2026. Go Dawgs!

My suspicion, also. Analysis forthcoming? At some point you have to believe that while Oregon coached were building the future of Oregon by focusing on recruiting, that Washington coaches were busy scheming how to kick our a** a second time. Maybe this is one of those adjustments DL is going to have to make. There are simply going to be times they have to tell the recruits "we love ya, but we need to focus on the game, so it will be radio silence for the big game week."
