Stein's offense statistics.

** Data below includes both conference and non-conference games:

** Data below includes only conference games:

Some might say, "But let's not count the two bad weather games." I disagree with excluding these games, but for fun, if I only count conference games and exclude the Wisconsin/Iowa games, the average "Off. Points per Game" is 31.8 ppg. Still less than prior year.

I'll not make any conclusions, but welcome the OBD Forum's comments.

The big thing that jumps out to me is QB experience.

Oregon’s defense is also better in 2025 by almost every meaningful statistic:

PPG: 14:9 (vs. 16.2)

Total YPG: 249 (vs. 284)

TO: 16 (vs. 16)

Sacks: 39 (vs 39)

Perhaps Coach Lanning wanted Coach Stein to be more conservative given the first year QB and better defense?

Limit turnovers = higher probability of winning.
