Our Oregon football program faces its biggest test of the season in week five: Penn State. The Nittany Lions are third-ranked in the country in AP voting, and the Ducks aim to take their spot from the sixth slot. Dan Lanning and company are tasked with game planning for a HUGE win on the road with a rock-solid offensive scheme, elite ...

Oregon Football Player of the Game in Week Five

Great game plan Alex! More of Moore to Moore definitely needs to be in the recipe for the stew that leads OBD's to victory.

In tbe BIG Title game the PSU linebackers could not contain the Ducks tight ends. If i remember correctly Sadiq had 2 touchdowns as PSU tried to double up or zone the fast wide outs and paod the price.

DL and Stein will relentlessly attack the weakness they discover on the PSU defense. And the 2025 Duck O has the weapons and depth to exploit it......

But for this old Duck fan the Duck D has to rise up to be the star of the game! Stop the run, force Allar into 3rd and long. PSU's QB is their weakness.....

Forcing PSU to punt on the first 3 PSU pissessions coupled with 17-21 points by the Duck O will take PSU out of their game plan. This will create the opportunities for sacks and interceptions. Or at least I can dream!

Go Ducks! You are on the big stage again. This is one of those games that Bryce B. came bsck for this season....

The D has to be the star of the game, followed by the offensive line.

NFL talent galore on the field.

I'm looking forward to the third round of Will Stein 😇 vs. Jim Knowles. 🤬 The judges' cards are even through two rounds. (OK, the first round may have been a draw? 😁)

Will Tosh find a way to stop the PSU run game? Both Allen and Singleton rushed for over 100 yards in last season's B1G champ game. If they do this again on their home field ...? OBD needs to make Allar throw potential INTs.

OBD, PSU, ESPN, NBC, and the CFB world at large expected both teams to be undefeated coming into this heavyweight rematch. How much have both coaching staffs on both sides of the ball been hiding against seven overmatched opponents?

I think Sadiq will again freak out the Penn State faithful.👺

Show Knowles what he doesn't know! Put a Spankin' on Franklin! Sadiq, Freak Out! 🤪

I'm going with "mature beyond his experience" Dante Moore. One highly effective, oblivious to the environment, distribute the ball to your plethora of playmakers drive for what looks like an effortless score will suck a lot of the hype out of the white out throng. From then on it's, "Play the game, not the occasion."
