GoDucks Series: Season in Review by Position

Recommended Posts

GoDucks, the Oregon site, is doing a series of reviews of the 2022 season by position. I believe they will all be written by Duck insider Rob Mosely. After reviewing the position group, the articles will end with what to look forward to in 2023. As these articles become available, they will be posted in this thread.

SEASON IN REVIEW: OL

 

OREGON RETURNED A VETERAN OFFENSIVE LINE IN 2022, AND THAT EXPERIENCE WAS THE FOUNDATION FOR ONE OF THE BEST UNITS IN THE COUNTRY.

 

The Ducks returned an enviable amount of experience for the 2022 season, and boy, did it show. Oregon led the nation with just five sacks allowed this past fall, tied for 10th in the country by averaging four tackles for loss allowed per game, and was sixth in the FBS in rushing with 5.52 yards per carry.

 

The five sacks were the fewest allowed by an FBS team that doesn't run a triple-option offense since 2015. All of that success contributed to the Ducks being a semifinalist for the Joe Moore Award, presented annually to the nation's most outstanding offensive line.

SEASON IN REVIEW: ST

 

CAMDEN LEWIS PROVIDED CONSISTENCY AS THE PLACEKICKER IN 2022, WHILE THE PUNTING POSITION WAS MORE UP AND DOWN.

 

The renaissance of placekicker Camden Lewis continued in 2022. He was 14-of-16 on field-goal attempts, including 10-of-10 inside 40 yards. The Ducks were perfect on 64 extra-point attempts in 2022, the last of which Lewis banged off the upright and through for the game-winning point in Oregon's Holiday Bowl win over North Carolina. 

 

That play also was the last in the career of long snapper Karsten Battles, a remarkably consistent and reliable presence on special teams whose excellence resulted in a lack of notoriety, given how the spotlight usually only shines on a long snapper in moments of struggle.

 

Punting was less consistent, as the Ducks spent most of the 2022 season seeking reliable execution at the position.

Camden Lewis provided consistency as the placekicker in 2022, while the punting position was more up and down.
