Friends, until the Ducjs O line improves, we won't have a really good team. Even as well as we had last year the line still wasn't that good. It made many huge mistakes.

At this rate we may get the Civil War match-up this season after all!

Know the Foe: Five Nebraska Cornhusker players to knowThe Ducks will play their second straight home game against Nebraska at Autzen Stadium this Saturday at 8 PM. Here are five Husker players to know entering the game. https://247sports.com/college/oregon/longformarticle/know-the-foe-five-nebraska-cornhusker-players-to-know--291214231/

And if the coaches start doing the job they are paid to do.

I mean honestly with suspect O-Line run blocking a read-option might be the way to go. Defenses are selling out on our run-game exactly because our QBs haven't been a run threat all season and most of last. I'm not saying Akili Smith Jr. is a better passer than any of the other options; but he does give the offense another element that hasn't been seen consistently since Bo Nix.

Coaches need thrir walking pspers, and recruit from outside the program. No more hires, just because they are Dsn Lanning buddies.

Playing any bowl game gets the team at least 2 or 3 weeks extra practice. Early enrollees can practice with the team.

Brock Thomas is a gamer and deserves the opportunity to show what he can do.

52.5 Over/Under - If I wagered on OBD games, I'd go with the under, especially after the way the Oregon and Nebraska Ds showed up last Saturday. Indiana could not run the ball. If the Nebraska D travels, will Oregon be able to run the ball?

Coach Neal said that Oregon’s offensive attack is to spread a defense out horizontally and then throw short passes and run the football. Oklahoma State and UCLA took those short routes away with different defensive schemes and Oregon cannot run the ball with this offensive line. Sounds like defenses have figured this offense out and we do not have the offensive line and/or mobile QB to counter. UCLA was daring Oregon to beat them deep but was able to get pressure on the QB quickly.

It’s a great nickname because the OL might get sued by their QB for incompetence/ malpractice.

Um, we need to win a few more games 1st. I'd like to see us rebound and play spoiler. Still a lot of season left. If Dante can return healthy. If the O-line can produce a run game. If we can get a little more creative on 3rd/4th and 1... We can still write our own destiny. C'mon guys, Go Ducks!!

If I were entering the NFL draft, there is no way I’d play in it for these coaches.

Play it. Play the youngsters and see who's worth building around and who's not. At some point this year I want to know if I'm wasting my time rooting for guys like Akili Smith or not.

That would be a bad look. After Saturdays performance, the arrogance would be over the top

No-we take our medicine then we go to the hospital for emergency surgery.

Dylan Raiola's performance on Saturday two weeks following the USC game had to have shocked everyone inside the locker room just as much as all of us outside the locker room. I don't blame coaches for sticking with him as long as they did. It was so unbelievable. Despite our offensive line, this game was winnable. But then the fumbles kept coming. Brock lost one under center and almost lost another in shotgun. That's not all on coaching. Offensive lines generally don't get healthy in pass protection. They get healthy when they run the football. We've got to get back to running the football. That is coaching. Honestly, if we've got guys in that locker room already eyeing the exit for more NIL and more opportunities to have the ball in their hands - that's a BIG part of the problem with this team. Connection? Do we have players who are here for the right reasons? We'll find out in the coming weeks.

Sadly, all valid points. Equally as sad, this OL and coach will have to Master run blocking quickly. It looks like grinding time off the clock and trying to score while hoping the D can come through may be our best shot at victory.I I’m hopeful, sorta, could happen, ya never know, ah GO DUCKS!

Just curious.

I guess ESPN’s FPI weighs strength of schedule more than wins and loses? Guess we now know why SEC teams have to maintain those overinflated rankings compared to other conferences…

I think his main option is to realize that he doesn't have options because he has a staff full of young recruiters posing as coaches that have no clue what to do. He could have had a top level OC/QB coach like a Jonathan Smith if he wanted. Instead he promoted a coach who's OC experience was abysmal stints at Rutgers and New Mexico. Boy that sure sounds like a national championship winning decision don't it? Maybe a real OC comes in and brings in some real position coaches and they are in a position to coach themselves out of this mess. Instead he has a room full of early thirties recruiters that know how to relate with 17 year olds like bros. In the era of college GMs, NIL and the portal, how important is a recruiter first coach anyway? The Beavers have about a $10 NIL budget but they are being coached up to max potential and playing like it. Boise St always has great coaches and always play like it. I think this year just is what it is and definetly a step back but if Lanning can truly learn from it, this just may be the kick in the pants he needs to take the next step towards making the Ducks an elite team.

Well, Oregon very quickly dropped out of the rankings and playoff conversation.

Imagine DAK in this game after inspiring these edgy new uniforms and the "origin of speed" and now linking these uniforms to this terrible offensive performance. That had to be a big part of his frustration.

That aint cool. That sucks.!!!

LSU comes in No. 8 in their index AP No. 22 LSU = no ranked wins, 2 L's No.s 9 & 15 NR Ducks = 2 ranked wins No.s 19 & 23, 2 L's No.s 8 & 12 No SEC bias here.
