Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 2 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Oregon Football Spring Camp Updates: Practice Two The sun once again shown down on the HDC practice turfs for day two of spring workouts. The Ducks remained in shells for their final day before taking two weeks off for spring break. Once again, media was able to watch the first 18 or so minutes of practice which was comprised of stretch, special teams work and position drills. Special teams again highlighted the drilling media took in. Punters Luke Donne and Ross James continue to compete, and show off the quality of their legs. For the second straight practice, Dunne was the more consistent of the two, featuring more accurate and higher kicks. James had the longest punt of the day, hitting one that traveled well over 50 yards on a line. Dunne’s best punts rivaled that in length but were significantly higher.

The Oregon Ducks were working out in just shorts, helmets, and jerseys as they still are a few practices away from being cleared for full-contact practice.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 7 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Observations from Oregon's second spring practice Oregon opened practice with special teams work that featured a group of kick returners fielding kicks from Cam Lewis and Grant Meadors, and a group of returners fielding punts from Luke Dunne and Ross James. Oregon’s offensive linemen worked on a pull-blocking technique drill early in the day while first-year offensive line coach A’Lique Terry and first-year assistant Mike Cavanaugh watched closely. During the third period of the day, skill-position players and defenders went head-to-head in a non-contact version of “mod bracket” that featured quarterbacks Bo Nix, Ty Thompson, and Austin Novosad throwing swing passes to a pass-catcher, who then worked to beat a defensive back and a linebacker in a one-on-one matchup along the sideline.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 8 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Lanning expecting more early enrollees to arrive when team reconvenes in April Twenty-six scholarship newcomers were included on the program's spring football roster released on Thursday, and that number could reach 30 very soon, head coach Dan Lanning indicated following Saturday's practice. "I don't have an exact number, but we'll see a few more guys come in when the next term starts," said Lanning, who elected not to name who might be arriving over the next few weeks. The large crop of new faces is currently comprised of nine Division-1 transfers, 16 prep early enrollees and one junior college addition. The Ducks have just one committed transfer portal player yet to enroll (Ole Miss defensive back Tysheem Johnson) and 13 additional prep players, including five-star wide receiver and class headliner Jurrion Dickey.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 13 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Dan Lanning trying to set expectations for Ducks before spring break Lanning referenced the upcoming spring break before the next school term as to why they pushed practice a little harder today, and the break could be a really good reset for a lot of players on the team, particularly some of the early enrollee freshmen. The transition from high school to college is difficult enough on its own but jumping into Division I college football when you could still be attending high school is an entirely different animal. “I think they’re handling it really well. I think we had a great transition team too when it goes with the prep for school and football,” Lanning said. “We have a detailed plan with what we do so those guys have handled it well.” Dan Lanning trying to set expectations for Ducks before spring break OREGON.RIVALS.COM Takeaways from Oregon's second spring practice Saturday.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 14 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Why Oregon has a two-week break during Spring Football The Oregon Duck football program held two of its 13 spring practices this past week and now the Ducks will be off for over two weeks time before they resume again in April. So what's with the extended break between practice times and why not just usher all of the spring ball into April? "For us, it's about spacing. You'd like to go Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday for practices," said head coach Dan Lanning. "We don't want to go into May because we have a recruiting window in May that we want to go get our coaches out in May."

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 16 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Austin Novosad shows promise, room for growth early on in spring practice Novosad is one of the many young athletes that arrived in camp early in hopes of getting a jump start on his career. Unless injuries occur, 2023 will be a redshirt season for the 6-foot-3, 185-pounder from Dripping Springs, Texas, but being able to get his feet wet in the spring will ultimately give him more experience down the road. Media members were not allowed to watch more than 20 minutes of the start of practice on either Thursday or Saturday, so we did not get to see Novosad in action. However, I’m told by someone who watched the practice that there were multiple turnovers, and Novosad was responsible for at least one of them. Should everything stay status quo with no injuries and no transfers between now and fall camp next season, the battle between Novosad and Ty Thompson to immediately replace Bo Nix in 2024 could be an interesting one, to say the least. Oregon Football: Dan Lanning assesses Austin Novosad’s play in spring DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Dan Lanning likes what he sees out of QB Austin Novosad, but naturally, there’s a lot to improve upon.

NJDuck Moderator No. 17 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Five takeaways from Oregon's first two days of spring practice The first glimpse of Oregon's 2023 football roster came last week, as the program held its first two practices of spring. The team now goes on a two-week break (here's an explanation for why) before reconvening on April 4. Media was able to watch about 18 minutes from both workouts and Dan Lanning spoke following each session as well. These practice opportunities offered limited information but enough to draw some early conclusions. Below are the five things I found most interesting from the opening of spring practice.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 18 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Lanning looking for consistency, better kick placement from special teams unit during spring camp It was no secret Oregon's special teams unit was underwhelming during the 2022 season. The stats back it up, as Oregon ranked No. 119 in punt return defense (13.60 yards allowed), No. 117 in Net Punt (35.69 net yards), and No. 125 in kick return defense (25.20 yards allowed). Special teams performance has been a struggle of Oregon's for multiple years now, but first-year special teams coordinator Joe Lorig certainly had his work cut out for him this offseason. Head coach Dan Lanning has preached positional versatility to start this spring camp, and while they're about to enter a two-week hiatus, Lanning has made it clear that kick coverage teams and ball location are the two areas he and Lorig are highlighting this spring.
