How Can This Pass the Big Ten Smell Test?
With what we spend on NIL it's hard for me to get worked up about this type of thing. It's not like we are a have not. This is college football now where even guys come back from the Pros to play

Dilly-Dilly in the Trenches: Power-Gap Football Is Oregon’s Blueprint for a Revival
This is not installing a new offense. The Ducks playbook already has Gap Scheme plays; this is more about changing the plays we are calling for our primary scheme. The slide step lateral outside zone block while staying connected with a DL who is slanting a gap and reading where/timing on a double is harder for our young OL. These kids started youth football in Gap Scheme - power, dives and counter. A drive block with a quick double team is the foundation OL kids build off. We are struggling to do anything very well on the OL, especially Pass Pro and the Outside Zone. Sometimes the system needs to fit your personal and you adapt it to what they can do.

Ducks 31-27 2 TO 2 Sacks 215 Passing Yards (more than one QB will account for this)

This is against my better judgement...... Oregon wins 24-20 1 - TO 2 - Sacks 188 yards passing 24 points is a big ask for a stagnant office, a 2nd or 3rd string QB and a lackluster offensive O Line. Go Ducks.

How Can This Pass the Big Ten Smell Test?

A Bunch of BS..
Physical maturity and mental maturity are quite often not on the same page. NIL is not something you’ve necessarily earned; it’s something you’ve simply taken advantage of.

How Can This Pass the Big Ten Smell Test?
It feels like a CF take on MLB’s home-stretch trade policy when the big boys with a shot to contend load-up for the final push. Maybe it’s Michigan that needs the restraining order and not the players.

What Are Lanning's Options On Offense Moving Forward?
Kinda like getting married! First marriages fail 45-50% of the time. Second marriages fail 2/3rds of the time. Third marriages fail 3/4th of the time.

What Are Lanning's Options On Offense Moving Forward?
I agree with John here. A 50/50 risk/reward ratio is terrible in real life, which is exactly what the pros and cons are of doing it this early in the game. Dan is taking the points on field goals and now I expect will begin taking the points on PATs.

Tony Petitti, From Sitting in the Corner to the Smartest Guy in the Room - Looks Like 24 is Near
It's the right thing and I've been a long time proponent of a top 24 team playoff. However with the extra games and NIL spreading out this will cause will reduce the odds we win a natty in any given year. We have missed our high probability window. But hey, hello 9-3 teams that can turn it around and make a deep run, it will be more fun.

Dilly-Dilly in the Trenches: Power-Gap Football Is Oregon’s Blueprint for a Revival
I just hope the highly rated OT's that are true freshmen will stick around and develop, if they can move with 360 lbs (or maybe get down to 330 for next year without losing strength) maybe the future for 2-3 more years at OT will be grand, with improved OLine coaching we'll bring in more 5* linemen and portals

Dilly-Dilly in the Trenches: Power-Gap Football Is Oregon’s Blueprint for a Revival
Love the read! And welcome back! For the remainder of this season, I like the idea of incorporating more of this, particularly if it simplifies things up front and allows the OL to play faster and more physically. I'm not sure this personnel necessarily lends itself to becoming a predominantly power-gap offense overnight, but there's certainly value in making it a bigger part of what we do. More than anything, I'd like to see them identify what this group does well, simplify the offense around those strengths, and finally establish an identity. Use the run game to create opportunities for all that talent we have at the skill positions instead of trying to completely reinvent ourselves halfway through the season. Beyond this year, I'd like to see Lanning bring in someone with a fresh take on offense. A rising star or veteran matters not to me so long as they have a proven philosophy and the ability to adapt it to the personnel they have.

Marsh Duck - Trust in Lanning is Breaking
While the official 2019 Georgia Football Coaches directory gave Glenn Schumann the "co-defensive coordinator" title, Lanning was explicitly designated as the sole Defensive Coordinator. Lanning carried the full, primary DC title and called the plays during his entire three-year run leading the defense. Schumann was elevated to work under and alongside him as the "co-DC" to assist with game planning and reward his value to the program, but Lanning was never a "co-DC" himself. The lead defensive coordinator role at UGA is officially designated as the Fain & Billy Slaughter Defensive Coordinator.
