Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Are we "Dyed" in this mold, or can the downfield passing game still happen? Oregon Football has Found its Identity Heading into Final 2021 Road Test by Adam Holland of Autzen Zoo Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck1984 No. 2 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) Good article. I expect the passing game to remain as it has as long as the running game is successful. And if the running game falters, Coach C is stubborn and will expect the Ducks to run harder. Edited November 19, 2021 by Duck1984 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck No. 3 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Oregon does have an identity now, they are actually reminiscent of Vince Lombardi's great Green Bay Packers teams. Bart Starr did not pass a lot, and he definitely didn't run like AB did, but Taylor and Hornung ran so well, that the offense was unstoppable. The Packers also always had a dominating defense. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GODUCKS15 No. 4 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I expect a renewed passing game against UT like the UCLA and CO games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deschutesduck No. 5 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Obviously the Ducks are a run heavy team but I also think there has been a drastic change in the offense prior to the UCLA game and now... we went from vanilla to baskin robins 31 flavors, it's like they looked at the playbook and discovered there was more to it than the cover page.

David Marsh No. 6 Share Posted November 19, 2021 A downfield passing game is still possible... or more downfield anyways. But why go away from a run game that is working and seems unstoppable? Also... we wont see a truly robust passing game as long as Brown is Quarterback. He just isn't that kind of quarterback. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck 1972 No. 7 Share Posted November 19, 2021 MC has did exactly what he said he was going to do. Dominate both sides of the ball in the trenches. If how we have been running the ball, controling the game and dominating the 2nd half continues like it should, I believe this gives us the best chance to win.
