NJDuck Author Moderator No. 9 Share Posted September 1 Tez Johnson Talks about the Oregon Win vs Idaho Oregon receiver Tez Johnson was one of the big returning wins for Dan Lanning this offseason.

NJDuck Author Moderator No. 10 Share Posted September 1 Grading the Oregon Ducks position groups after disjointed 24-14 win over Idaho This first report card of the 2024 season isn’t going to be pretty, but we can only hope Oregon got its one clunker of a performance out of the way. Because if they didn’t, the Big Ten is going to be tougher than they ever imagined. But a win is a win and the Ducks are 1-0 and the defense was up to the challenge for the most part. Here’s the report card for Week 1. Offensive Line Grade: D This is where a lot of the offensive problems stemmed from, as the linemen weren’t able to dominate a vastly inferior defensive line in FCS Idaho. It was quite the opposite at times. The Oregon coaching staff challenged the line on a 4th-and-1 from their own 36-yard line and the Ducks weren’t up to the task, getting stopped short in their 14 personnel package. Oregon also gave up three sacks in the game, which is more than half of what the team gave up in the whole 2023 season. Injuries have impacted the rotation up front, but the Ducks still should have the talent and depth necessary to dominate an FCS school. This was a terrible showing for A’lique Terry and his unit. Report Card: A win is a win, but Oregon needs to play better DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM A win is a win, but Oregon needs to play better as the 2024 season moves forward.

NJDuck Author Moderator No. 11 Share Posted September 1 Ugh! Oregon Tumbles in Latest ESPN FPI Rankings As you could expect there has been some fallout from Oregon’s tight win over Idaho on Saturday.
