Breaking down Will Stein’s five best play calls from Oregon’s win over Oklahoma State

Wanna dive into the Xs and Os? Here's a breakdown of Oregon's five best plays from last weekend's win over Oklahoma State.

Oregon Ducks Offense Resembling Chip Kelly Era With Explosive Plays

The Oregon Ducks showed off an explosive offensive in the dominant win over the Oklahoma State Cowboys, and it reminded some of when current Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly was running the offense in Eugene, Oregon. How has Ducks coach Dan Lanning maintained elite offensive play at Oregon?

"Oregon crafting a +420 yardage advantage over Oklahoma State (631-211) while losing the time-of-possession battle Saturday, in a 69-3 demolition, is some wicked stuff that tops anything they pulled off even during the Chip Kelly era. When the Ducks walloped UCLA 60-13 with 21:29 in time of possession in 2010, they had only a +292 yardage advantage. (That's also absurd, for the record.)," wrote Connelly.

The No. 4 Oregon Ducks' 69-3 win over Oklahoma State was so dominant that analytical models like ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI) have ranked Oregon as the No.

How Lanning, Stein and Lupoi built a juggernaut in Eugene

Monday morning at CBS, college football writer Matt Zenitz named the coordinators of the week in each conference.

In the Big Ten, he chose Will Stein of the Oregon Ducks, and Tosh Lupoi of the Oregon Ducks.

So far Stein and Lupoi have gotten maximum value out of having their highly-paid units train against each other. Josh Yourish of Saturday Blitz noted that against Oklahoma State, "The Ducks jumped out to a 41-3 halftime lead, with 472 total yards, averaging 13.37 yards per play and 14.38 yards per dropback." That's insane domination.
