12 hours ago12 hr No. Sir Charles thank you for accumulating these revealing numbers.If this team can discipline themselves and complete drives that end up in points then the defense will do the job needed to win out and beyond.....Bring the DOMERS to Eugene for a first round playoff game.Hopefully the BIG will tone down the bias and put a leasch on the refs. Saturday's crew needs a 1 game suspension.Now is the time for more improvement and statement games.GO DUCKS!

11 hours ago11 hr No. The defensive stats are amazing but for some reason the defense doesn’t seem as dominant as they indicate.I wonder if it’s the result of a few key plays/drives over the course of the game? They seem to have trouble closing out some games (e.g., Penn State, Iowa) after absolutely dominating the majority of the game. In the Iowa game it was a result of a couple of pass coverage breakdowns by LBs and the safeties, and a bad defense call on 4th and goal.

I'm not sure what it is called but I think it is intentional. Our team is fast enough and good enough in the secondary that we play more aggressive in some ways that leave us more vulnerable to occasional dagger plays, but on the whole is very effective.
1 hour ago1 hr No. Here's a crazy star for you. Of the six explosive passes Iowa completed on Saturday, FIVE OF THEM WERE BECAUSE THE GUY THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COVERING THE WR WAS LOOKING AT THE QB. The significance of that very important stat is Iowa would have scored less than 10 points in Saturday. One simple change in coverage rules will yield a very, very dominant defense. Of course, since it is a national epidemic in both college and pro football, we know what that means...
1 hour ago1 hr No. In the trenches, interesting to look at some of the dire preseason predictions about the OL starting three first year portal transfers (it wasn't here but certainly was pushed by at least one well known Duck site):On paper, offense predicts 3,260 yards rushing at 14 games (2,157 currently).Last year, without a single first year transfer portal OL, Oregon rushed for 2,211 yards in 14 games. From 4.4 ypc to 6.6 ypc. Sacks allowed are also down from 1.50 per game to 1.22 per game.ATQ often brings up those successful Cristobal OL season (and they were good) but:2019: 14g, 2482 rush @ 5.1, 1.79 sack2020: 7g, 1167 rush @ 5.0, 1.57 sack2021: 14g, 2833 rush @ 5.4, 1.71 sack2025: 14g, 3260 rush @ 6.6, 1.22 sack(predicted) Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by AnotherOD
