Posted 12 hours ago12 hr Administrator Our Oregon football season is finally here, folks. All the hype, speculation, and roster adaptations will culminate in 60 minutes or more of Oregon Duck football at 1:00 pm PST this Saturday. Montana State comes to Eugene to battle the 7th-ranked Ducks, and Dan Lanning gets a premier opportunity to kick this team’s gear into championship overdrive. Now it’d be easy ...Oregon Football: Setting Expectations for Game One Two Sites: FishDuck and the Our Beloved Ducks forum, The only "Forum with Decorum!" And All-Volunteer? What a wonderful community of Duck fans!

2 hours ago2 hr Moderator Nice article. I’m not really too hung up on a final score but over all I just want to see a confident team decisively control the game. Man. I am so ready for some football. Go Ducks!
2 hours ago2 hr Expectations:Ball control game. I see Will Stein making use of the amount of time we have the ball in order to limit Montana State's time of possession. Could likely see some extended offensive drives.Run heavy scheme complimented with a lot of short/intermediate passes to build Dante's confidence.We should see an improved secondary. These are finally all Dan Lanning players on defense that have had multiple years to learn the scheme.Return to dominating the "middle eight". We were masters of this during Kenny Dillingham's only year and Will Stein's first year here. Most games can be decided by creating scores in the last 4 minutes of the first half and first 4 of the second half. If we can get back to owning this our team can be lethal.We will cover, not blow out. This will likely be due to succeeding at item #1 on the list. We should control the time of possession throughout the game. While not necessarily leading to "lighting up the scoreboard", it will be reflective of how both sides of the ball keeps the game within their control.
