"Oregon has 8 offensive linemen that could be starters and are playing above the line football." Ah yes, the good old days when Lanning believed what Terry was telling him.

OK! It couldn't get any worse....right? RIGHT?! 😥 OREGON at Home. 31-20. 1 T.O. 2 SKS 300 YDS PASS. LETS GO DUCKS!!!

I seem to remember that back in the spring there was great concern over the O-line.

Maybe Lanning is just holding stuff back so Ohio State doesn't know our full game plan?

Here are some of the things I heard coming out of fall camp before the start of the season: Drew Mehringer is a scientist. He is going to take college football by storm. Oregon has 8 offensive linemen that could be starters and are playing above the line football. Evan Stewart is unguardable. Akili Smith has improved drastically and is playing above the line football. Obviously, none of these things are close to being true. Should we believe anything that we hear from the coaches and/or players in fall camp? Or maybe we should just assume the opposite?

One can go from Indiana to Oregon to Clemson really quick. DL needs to understand that sustained success is never guaranteed, and the wrong coaching decisions can unravel a program faster than anyone expects. He has to get these hires right. Pure and simple.

Mehringer getting fired makes no sense to me. My money is on moving him back to where he fits best, coaching tight ends. Put Koa Ka’ai there with him as an assistant, especially since that’s a position he actually played. Then go make a killer hire at OC, someone who can work directly with the QBs and bring a fresh identity to this offense. Do that, and I think the offense can get right in a hurry. Defensively, year two under Hamp should bring improvement. The biggest thing there is consistency. We’ve seen flashes of what that defense can be. Now they need to play that way week in and week out.

The bummer with brain concussions, aka. brain damage, is that each concussion is not independent regarding damage to the brain... meaning that the damage is cumulative. There is no brain concussion reset button, so to speak. Following a concussion, the brain also becomes more susceptible to additional future concussions. There are reputable studies which show that people reporting three or more concussions had poorer cognitive performance which got progressively worse with each concussion. Concussions are also associated with a higher risk of lasting long term problems --- particularly for attention, memory, processing speed, and handling complex tasks. All items which are obviously rather critical for the QB. Hoping for the best for Dante.

If I was Dante, I wouldn’t even consider a return next season unless there was some reassurance that the OL issues would be fixed somehow. I honestly believe we have seen Dante take his last snap in an Oregon uniform. I don’t think Dante or Dan will be willing to risk it considering how the OL is playing and now that the playoffs are essentially off the table.

I asked that same question 3 weeks ago. Especially at this point today, if I'm Dante, and I wasn't sure when I'd be back to full strength, and given that we're 7 weeks into the season, it would certainly would be a question on the table for me at this point. Seven weeks ago, who would have thought our team would be in the situation we are now.

It's a fantastic story. I did not intend to suggest anything else. I hope they make it into the playoffs. Frankly, I'm beginning to wonder if we need to start focusing more on the three star player market. 😉

Oregon 24-20 2 3 215

No doubting Thomas 😇

Well, it's really anybody's guess, isn't it? Neb 28 - 9 [that 9 is most likely the result of one FG and one TD with a missed 2PAT] 0 TO 1 Sack 107 YP It seems as though my prior loftier predictions somehow always seem to jinx the Ducks. So, I'm hoping for consistency in correctly predicting the outcomes for this game; and I jinx Nebraska this time.

That throw to DAK was a great throw into a pretty narrow window barely out of reach. They don't have a lot of practice time together. It was a very good throw.

20-17 OT Ducks 2 TO 2 Sacks 225 Pass

The Beavs are 4-0 in their weight class and have destroyed their G6 opponents, putting up an absurd number of points on offense and playing solid defense. The losses to No. 20 Houston and No. 10 Texas Tech could have gone either way. Oregon State is this season's best G6 story. OSU has a decent shot at winning at Fresno and at Boise, and if this happens, taking the G6 PO spot. A remarkable turnaround under a guy who has never been a head coach, a QB transfer from Mercer, and a 3-star frosh WR who, to date, has put up better stats than Mr. Jeremiah Smith. Wazzu is floundering, but this OSU team would have finished in the top 3rd of the B12. Next season's Civil War game could be very interesting.

Probably, but what an accomplishment. If Beavs make the PO this state would light up for sure.

apparently we never did☹️

Glad you asked . . . The series is ugly: 8 games" Huskers 6 W's Largest margin: Neb 63 in '85 to our logo. Definition of a paycheck game ("pay" attention PSU) Ducks by 8 in '53 (I remember it well, pretty sure someone had to change my pants afterwards) (maybe in '85 also) Longest winning streak: Huskers 5, Ducks looking to make it 2!! So, I'll bite Ducks 17 - 14 1 TO 2 Sacks 179 p yds

Neither do the rest of us.

With that said this might be the game they get back.
