12 hours ago12 hr No. 1 sack and only a few pressures from a team that has the 6th most sacks in the country. That was an area of progress we were looking for.Minnesota also is really good at tackles for a loss. I don't know if they got any until our starting OL was pulled, then they got a bunch.Great job by coaches and players to get that cleaned up.
12 hours ago12 hr Administrator No. Great points— you would never know Minnesota’s national stats, by just casually watching the game. Both Oregon coordinators did a great job tonight… Mr. FishDuck
11 hours ago11 hr No. Yeah the pass pro tonight had a lot to do with Dante's passing efficiency. I suspect Dante will have something to say about this (he sure as hell should) in the post-game interviews.
3 hours ago3 hr No. I cannot say for sure whether this contributed, but I noticed that Iuli and Pregnon exchanged positions, with the former on the left side and the latter on the right.

He's not comfortable throwing and struggles to slide to the left. Moving Pregnon to the right helped with that I guess.And psychologically I think he handles the unseen blind side pressure better than the front side pressure.I also think he showed in this game that he has improved on these weaknesses, there were sometimes when the pocked was shrinking fast and he didn't get happy feet. Although maybe that confidence is more a function of our WRs running free all over the place with very little tight coverage. Minnesota's secondary is horrible tbh. Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by Solar

It was an RPO and Moore made the right read to hand it off but sadly it was the right read because the play was already blown up and letting Davison take the hit was better than him taking the hit.
