Oregon Football: Superlatives of the Season

Recommended Posts

Our Oregon football program has had a stellar season, to say the least. Since entering the B1G, they have yet to suffer their first loss after bolting out to an 11-0 start to the season, with zero signs of slowing down. Now, there are a TON of people to thank for that, and that’s not the point of this article. ...

Alex, thank you for providIng the Forum with this outstanding awards article. Simply superb!

 

This old Duck agrees with you

100% on all your picks. And I cannot remember a time where OBD's defense had so many potential 1st roind draft picks playing at the same time. Especially at all levels.

 

GO DUCKS........

Agree with your analysis and some great writing once again. I do have to ask how you left out the guy who leads the team in solo tackles, assisted tackles and of course total tackles? He also shows up in sacks and interceptions.

 

This guy doesn't even practice with the team full-time because he plays another sport in the spring. He was also already drafted in the other sport he plays.

 

With the team littered with elite transfers and 4 an 5* talent, he is the one guy who is a walk-on, and actually a double walk-on. He wasn't recruited, given a scholarship in any sport, let alone NIL money.

 

I would argue without this guys motor, passion for the game and football IQ on the field and off, the Ducks wouldn't be 11-0. On top of that he is a hometown boy, South Eugene High School, you can't grow up any closer to the Oregon Program.

 

Maybe it is just the fact that I love walk-ons, and homegrown talent, that I find his impact larger than most.

 

With football moving toward transfers, NIL money, going after the hottest recruit, Bryce Boettcher is what is still great about college football! And maybe the least appreciated player on the team?

Super article, Alex, can't argue with any of your selections. But I agree with Hayward, it's impossible to leave BB out of a list of the most impactful players this season. Aside from the stats that Hayward noted, he's the heart of the dominant Ducks defense!
