Thanks, for sharing David. It has been an interesting progression with the OL rotation to say the least. We really need to find the best five. I'm surprised that Bennett has been rotated in. You'd think with all his game experience he'd at the least be assignment sound. The Illinois run D isn't that stout, I think we break 250 yards on the ground if we stay gap run scheme and can play assignment sound across the line consistently.

Ducks Win! 42-17 2 TOs 4 sack 247 passing yards

Maybe DL KNEW that we would beat Nebraska anyway and just wanted to set up the storybook ending of have DR come into the game to lead the game winning drive. Makes me think a movie might be in the works....it was all cinema, that's what it was. 😊

I really don’t think so. The best way to get better is to play football, even if playing for a team much weaker than OBD. Addressing the transactional aspect of football, getting better means more money. But even more importantly, you don’t get this good (and even a mediocre college player is a damn good athlete) without enjoying the game and finding joy in getting better. Speaking from my own experience, I’m a serious paddle boarder. I’ll never make a dime at it, but I enjoy being good at a sport. I enjoy the sound and feel of being on a paddle board when I am paddling fast and efficiently. I enjoy doing it a little better every day. These young men are no different. There seems to be a common thread of cynicism about what motivates our players and coaches that I think is unfounded. Social media in general swims in cynicism, so it’s not limited to this forum. This recurring theme towards OBD is one of the main reasons I quit posting here for years. Especially with Lanning, I see a team based upon character, connection, and compassionate accountability. Not perfect, but doing their jobs for the right reasons.

It may be a rumor but it is not. The kids on campus outside of the football team know exactly what happened. 9 skill people were involved. Stewart is not out of the woods if you read any of the reports that came out yesterday. These are suspensions. It may be a long day.

It's taken the staff this long to recognize Zone Blocking is not a strength of the OL. Both Tackles also struggle too much to pass protect reliably. These guys explain it better than I do, but instinctively I have been thinking this all year... I thought these guys were Scoop Duck until I watched the video. They're good. They have time I don't so I thought I would let them explain it better than I can. And they confirmed a lot of my suspicions. Check them out.

In this season of the witch, what is going to go wrong next? From No. 2 to number 27. 🤮 If these guys are out with injuries, change the S&C guy and the program he is running. Too many Ducks are injured too often. If they are out because of behavioral issues, is there an adult in the room? Other than an FCS layup, every game has been a struggle. This is with a 247 Sports roster ranking of 2nd, behind only Georgia at No. 1. BRUTAL! However, before a 3rd loss, if it happens, I'm keeping the PO faith.

Oregon. 17-13 1 4 90

I tend to agree. Dan Lanning is having years taken off his life with this offensive misery. This level of discomfort is surely going to result in real changes. Dan will grow. But it is jarring to see what we are right now compared what we used to be.

Illinois wins. 16-12 1 Turnover 6 sacks 138 Yards Passing

Never said they were smart with money... Only that they were too eager to spend it.

As much as folks want to complain, it seems we are still in the price discovery phase of NIL. As much as the NCAA wants to get it's antitrust exemption, they aren't going to be able to put the toothpaste back in the tube. My personal opinion is that this is just showing there has been a lot of money being unfairly withheld from the gladiators for generations. That's the real un-American travesty, not that NIL is ruining the sport as some suggest.

I see that Jack Ressler is not listed as out. I liked his high school tapes, as did Notre Dame, USC, and others. He has been injured most of his time at Oregon after redshirting his first year. In his high school tapes, he was an elusive, hard-nosed little receiver. It will be a nice surprise if he plays and has a belated coming-out party.

Charles I think you need a new rule: No unfounded character assassinations. It's getting really unfortunate to see.

$54 million to get rid of Kelly. $90 million to bring in Lame. A roster payroll of $45 to $50 million. 4-2 and on the hunt for private equity funding. BRILLIANT!

No one ever said that actually getting to the point where we could win a national championship would be easy.

OMG. I am changing my predictions. Might we see two tight-end looks during the game? We will see Lewis, Bair, and Hooks get their chance.

Oregon 24 Illinois 17 2 4 175

Hopefully GB won't bounce the ball off his face mask. Going to need some production out of him

Springfield PD has already debunked racing as just a rumor.

I'm seeing online that Lott may have been banged up near the end of last game.
