Here is what I like to compare: the depth chart this year vs various other seasons. Ducks have guys third string who are better than a lot of starters from years past. You can take the best coaches in college football and give them the roster of lets say the Akron team. What will they do with that? Answer: not much. You can fix a lot of problems with talent.

I remember what World, Harkey and Pregnon looked like mauling people last year. This year's group does not pass the eye test. They need to rethink what types of O linemen they want to recruit. This position group has taken a step down from what Mario Cristobal was doing with it. Of course, I could be wrong. How they do vs USC will be telling. And maybe they just have a bunch of guys who need to play more to get better? Maybe the problem was play calling? Too many bodies to block. No mis-direction plays. But at some point, you would want to see some big holes open up. If the O line does struggle vs USC, then the QB and receivers will have to make up for it. There will need to be play calling going beyond two runs up the middle that gets stuffed and now its 3rd and 7 all game long. The good news is that all the other position groups on offense look really good. The better news is that even though the O line doesn't look that great at run blocking, they seem to do pretty good at pass blocking. The OC will have to call plays that will work with the O line that they have this season.

Everything looks really good except the O line. Every other position looks solid going down to almost three deep, sometimes more. I think Dan Lanning should have used the portal for O linemen this year. With the exception of the O line, this Oregon team looked like a national championship caliber team today. Yes, it was Portland State, but they still looked the part. They did not seem to be moving this fast and aggressive the first two games. I think the depth will serve them well for the rest of the season. Bringing in 5 star subs gives the team a spark.

I think the opposite. Keep calling plays that throw the other side off balance, but do it with the subs. And see what the other QBs can do in case Dante gets hurt or has an off day. Lots of backup receivers and TEs need real plays in a game, not just there to block or stand around. Here is where we probably agree: Davison was playing waaaaay too much. Don't get him hurt in a game like this. Hill looks very pedestrian. You need to save Davison for the real games.

Just some post game thoughts on the game. Quick Quack: Oregon vs PSUSome quick thoughts on the Oregon win over PSU.Big game is up next against USC.

I mean, PSU is terrible 😆... But, nice win Duckies.

84 - 0 Nice

77-0. 4 minutes left. I think I can go to bed with visions of victory in my head. 👍👌😍 Adios.

Oregon’s RB room is insane.

Tadarrion Ball protects the ball well.

Son of former Duck Punter and NFL player Josh Bidwell. His younger brother is also a walk on receiver. Josh Bidwell is also a cancer survivor, and IIRC, the team chaplain.

Thats the first sack tonight.

Raiola’s ball placement on his passes is impeccable.

I am impressed with Raiola!

No idea who Brady Bidwell is but that was a gutsy catch!

It is nice to see the back ups do more than just run the clock down like in most blowouts. So many boring 3rd and 4th quarters we've endured.

Bidwell!

Correction 11/11 and 3 td

Raiola is slinging it. 9/9 with a tuddy

Whoa! Hampton wow.

I wondered if that Loville kid was related to Derek Loville...

I think Lanning told them to celebrate before the game. He wanted to see some energy

Getting real tired with these penalties and dancing, it's undisciplined, and who cares that you're scoring, you're beating a team that's winless and is a bad FCS team, stop acting like you're back. Lanning should be lighting them up over this, could you imagine Cignetti or Saban allowing this.

PSU gets a sack

We needed this scrimmage game tonight.
