sc's defense vs Rutgers by the numbers Deep Dive: Analyzing USC's defense by the numbers against Rutgers

Oregon's pass rush has lacked production, getting home a major priority this week against USCOregon's pass rush has not gotten home enough the past two weeks. They hope to clear that up against the pass-heavy Trojans. https://247sports.com/college/oregon/article/oregons-pass-rush-has-lacked-production-getting-home-a-major-priority-this-week-against-usc-290319084/

Pro Football Week 3 statistics are out. To date, tackles Addison and Crader have allowed 16 pressures and six sacks. Boise State and OK State collectively rushed for 330 yards, and Oregon for 209 yards. For those down on Moore. Notwithstanding being under pressure and his receivers dropping passes they should have caught, Dante has completed 68.5% of his passes with 9 TDs and no interceptions. However, to date, Dante is 51st in Quarterback Rankings. Jayden Maiava is ranked 10th. Archie Manning is ranked 40th. Georgia's Gunner Stockton has the No. 1 ranking. Other top10 B1G QBs: No. 4 Julian Sayin and No. 5 Josh Hoover. Hoover has yet to throw an interception. Portland State was a layup. Let's see how the O-line and the D-line perform on Saturday against No. 12 USC. SC has a 12-game home winning streak. Send the Linc Missing!

Spencer McLaughlin reported today that Oregon asked Portland State TWICE if they would like to shorten the game and they declined. At that point, any argument of running up the score is gone.

Let’s see, Are we mice or men? When the going get tough. It’s like an internal switch . Hello brain 🧠 is anyone here? Is the toughness in the SEC because they know how to wrestle alligators? 🐊 Oregon has our fans scratching their heads. Game time penalties are a discipline issue. Who… what drill instructor has that responsibility 2 or 3 or all the coaches? What is the metric? We are in an age of AI and technology and we are using our gut instincts as a toughness metric? Open field sprinting past your opponent is a metric. Ducks are in Mississippi mudd. Answer: Blood sweat and tears. I think they can use Major Pain. The movie Desire and youth fire 🔥. Oh and it’s what else…

OK State is ranked No. 30 in the latest AP Poll. I'd like to think the Cowboys can compete for a B12 title, but even without playing BYU and Utah, the schedule is tough. Home against UCF, CU, Texas Tech, ASU, and Kansas. These are all winnable games. Texas Tech, ranked No. 11, is overrated. But the away slate starting at WVA on Saturday is not easy. OK State is also on the road against Houston, Iowa State, and K-State. I will be rooting for the Broncos and the Cowboys.

Up and coming talent and gets a pass for the game. Win /win

I have to agree. The o-line was expected to be a weakness because of the inexperience of the newcomers and it has played out that way. I think they took a step in the right direction in the PSU game but they have a long way to go (will they be good enough against USC, who knows). The d-line has been the absolute surprise and not in a good way. All that experience and talent up front, they should be dominating like a pack of wolves but playing like labra-doodle puppies. They have far more to prove now and it needs to get fixed ASAP. It's been shocking how much they can't get pressure on the opposing QB and how few sacks/TFLs they're getting.

Well that sucks 😛 I hope he recovers well and comes back before the end of the season. In the meantime, I liked what I've seen out of Messiah Hampton so far. He's shown good hands and urgency. Could be the WR3 right away.

Just like Michigan will be haunted by the W. Michigan game, i feel the Ducks game against OSU will haunt them. Let's face it both the Wolverines and Ducks embarrased themselves. The Wolverines stole a game they lost. And our Ducks were lucky they didnt lose by 20 plus. Gosh i still cant wash that bad taste out of my mouth. However, the Ducks can redeem themselves by actually showing up, being physical, dominating and beat the Trojans. There is no redemption for Michigan unless they make the BIG Title game. As for power rankings, JJ, i would have put both Michigan and the Ducks ahead of Penn State. If The Nittany Lions dont make the BIG Title game with their weak arse schedule, then they will have under achieved. Power rankings be damned, the Ducks must beat the Trojans, period. With a loss they would have to win out, go 10-2 and hope the CFP Committee doesnt hold the OSU game against them. The best scenario for our Ducks is that BSU and OSU win 10 plus games. And for OBD's to just win out. Go Ducks.

You can't expect 4th stringers to "ease up" on PSU players. They may not see the field again the rest of the season. How about that special father and son moment between the Bidwells that doesn't happen if we just run the ball every play? IMHO we just shouldn't be playing FCS schools anymore, period. There are lots of G6 schools out there that would be willing to play us, and yes that includes the barkrats. I'd much rather play them than PSU, Idaho or Stoney Brook.

29 seconds left…..take a knee! Just be thankful that no one blew out a knee on a meaningless play.

Nine conference games will be played in Week 4. Two of the games are Top-25 matchups: No. 17 Iowa at No. 18 Michigan and No. 20 Oregon at No. 12 USC. The B1G came up small in out-of-conference (OOC) play, going 4-9 against the ACC, B12, and the SEC. Our friends down in Dixie went 10-2. Hopefully, the B1G will turn this around in the postseason. It's the first day of Fall, and the season is one quarter of the way finished. 😧 The B1G rankings are courtesy of Sports Illustrated's Matt De Lima. I think Lima's rankings are full of beans.🤬 Oregon ranked 7th and SC 3rd? Because the Trojans won at Rutgers by seven points? Bad loss at Oklahoma State, but the win over Boise State was a better win than SC has posted to date. Iowa's home win against Iowa State by three points is better than Michigan's win over Oklahoma? (The Michigan 'win' over Western Michigan will haunt Michigan all season.) Indiana ranked ahead of an Ohio State team that lost on the road by one point to No.1 Texas? As Curt Cignetti acknowledged, Indiana consumed three cupcakes OOC, but the exhibition season is over. In Week 4, the first loss of the season will be suffered by one of Iowa or Michigan, and Northwestern or Indiana. And UCLA, Nebraska, USC, UW, and Penn State have undefeated records on the line. Later this week, football gods permitting, I'll be back with the odds and the broadcast information for the nine B1G games.

IMHO Unfortunately, this question is a symptom of the newer generation of everybody is special children where the participation trophy reigns. In football its kill or be killed. We are trying to teach young boys to be men. Some take that as a chance to make life fair. There is no fair in life. Except on TV or some communist collective farm. That fish and beef we eat knows exactly how fair life is.

I came here to give a very similar anecdote, but you have captured what I was going to say! Great post!

I believe the Ducks scored 81 points on Portland State a few years ago. I don't recall as much yapping after that one.

I would really like to see more of Gatlin Bair too. Completely agree with Messiah Hampton, he is a pleasant surprise!

Losing his clutch play ability sucks. But we have some hungry receivers that look legit. Messiah Hampton could be this year's J-Mac (remember he got his opportunity last season with Evan Stewart out). Will Iverson Hooks get into the rotation more? Kendre Harrison started to look like a dependable option as well last weekend.

Came across this analysis which was great for me as a non Xs and Os guy. He breaks down some of the deficiencies on on both the offense and defense. https://youtu.be/v2VHve7Jn0U?si=rrank7vR2U-I2D7m As far as I see it, the offense can't stay on the field and the defense can't get off of it. Who's to blame?

Can Oregon Survive USC? The Truth About this Big Ten ShowdownUSC vs Oregon could define the season for Lincoln Riley, Dan Lanning, Dante Moore and two Big Ten programs fighting for College Football Playoff credibility and control of the West Coast. George Wrighster breaks down the five biggest factors that will decide Oregon vs USC, beginning with the battle at the line of scrimmage. USC entered the season talking about increased physicality under Lincoln Riley, but Oregon comes into the Coliseum with its own questions after a disastrous performance against Oklahoma State. How much pressure is actually on Lincoln Riley? USC has one of the most talented rosters of his tenure, Oregon suddenly looks vulnerable, and another loss to the Ducks would raise serious questions about when Riley's program is finally going to break through. Dante Moore also enters one of the biggest tests of his season. After Oklahoma State and Indiana created problems by generating pressure while dropping defenders into coverage, Oregon needs Moore to show that opposing defenses haven't discovered a blueprint for slowing him down. George also examines USC's quarterback play against elite competition, Gary Patterson's defense, Dan Lanning's new coordinators, Oregon's defensive front and the massive recruiting battle taking place between USC and Oregon in Southern California. This game isn't only about one Saturday night. USC and Oregon are competing for Big Ten championships, College Football Playoff appearances, elite California recruits and control of West Coast college football. George gives his final Oregon vs USC prediction and explains why he believes Oregon can use this matchup as a get-right game after the Oklahoma State loss.
