Actually, someone else is responsible for USC's problems. Don't put the stink on Link.

His return is neither feasible nor desirable. However, kudos to Chip and his players for the beautiful running game they executed vs. PSU.

In the Fall academic schedule classes begin September 28 in 2026. So....this would be the first home game with students on campus? How have those seats been filled for the two earlier home games? Sold to general public?

Nah, Ohio State was a stepping stone to the Northwestern job. 😁

Know the Foe: Five UCLA Bruin players to knowThe 13th-ranked Ducks will return home after the needed-bye to play UCLA at Autzen Stadoum this Saturday at 12:30 PM. Here are five Bruin players to know entering the game. https://247sports.com/college/oregon/longformarticle/know-the-foe-five-ucla-bruins-players-to-know--290912833/

Can Oregon please settle on a starting 5 on the O line. They need time to gel and develope trust in each other. Can't keep trotting out a new starting lineup every week

Comparing the two it helps to remember the season before their natty, Indiana finished 10th in the final rankings, and lost only to Ohio State in the regular season and to Norte Dame in the play-offs (the two teams in the final).

I gotta believe our Ducks play better each week. I believe in our coaches and players. But, I do have 2 concerns: How does Dylan respond as the starter. His poise last week was truly amazing having to step up in backup ( though it was almost a full game). Will his 1st start in front of a full Autzen crowd be any different. We are rolling out a new hyped up uniform. I'm superstitious about those games. We have had a few major flops in these games. Can we overcome the hype.

Wow 4 games into the season with new players on the O and already looking for a new OC?

Yup, pretty ironic to slip away like that from success. Aside from his issues with Eugene and west coast culture in general, it makes me think he understood before anyone else how lucky he’d been to catch lightening in a bottle, and that he needed to strike while the iron was hot if he wished to pursue his dreams.

I do feel the Mint defense is on it's last legs.... well in its current iteration. It needs to evolve.

Wouldn't you love to know the focus of Coach Lanning's recent meeting with Seahawks Head Coach Mike Macdonald? What do you guess topped Lanning's agenda? My money is on a deep dive into defensive schemes. As many have already noted, OBD have the raw talent, but the execution on the field suggests our players aren't consistently being put in positions to succeed. By contrast, Macdonald's defense currently ranks as the premier unit in the NFL. A look at their production four games into the season highlights why Lanning may have sought out his counsel: Total Defense: Rank #1 in the NFL, allowing just 246.8 total yards per game. Passing Defense: Rank #1 in the NFL, limiting opponents to 144.8 passing yards per game. Schematic Drivers: Powered by a disciplined zone-matching secondary and highly effective high-pressure stunt schemes. Weakest Link: They drop to 11th in the league against the rush. Expect to see some noticeable adjustments to our defense THIS SATURDAY—specifically in secondary rotations and how we utilize our NFL-caliber defensive linemen. We have the personnel. Coach Lanning undoubtedly returned from Seattle with a few high-yield concepts designed to optimize our Jimmies and Joes for much better success. Go Ducks!

Just funny that it became his greatest head coaching achievement.

Thanks, Mike. Could happen, no doubt. Man vs. Machine - The Massey Ratings have Oregon No. 9 with the 21st most difficult schedule. SP+ has Oregon ranked 10th. https://masseyratings.com/cf/fbs/ratings

The Oregon Ducks turned their season around last week. But a big reason why is because Oregon is smarter than their competition. And the Ducks will likely continue to leverage this significant advantage. This is great news for the Oregon Ducks and fans of the Oregon Ducks should be excited.

I expect to see more players getting snaps along with changing roles for some, too. Coach Lanning’s comments about the team say he’s looking for more and different while not satisfied with the status quo.

Thanks Jon. It's not the two-loss teams I'm worried about, it's unexpected one-loss teams that could come out of the Big12 or ACC. And the committee has shown precedence for not punishing teams who play in conference title games. For example, what would have happened had BYU beat Texas Tech in the Big 12 title game last year? Both would have been in (similar to Clemson beating SMU the prior year). What if UCLA goes 11-1 this year? It probably seems foolish betting against chaos in college football with increased parity, but I wouldn't count on it this year.

Oregon was always a stepping stone for Chip.

Coming out of bye weeks...was a problem for Mari too, as well as second half adjustments. That's felt like a weakness for 9 years now

All Fleck really needed was a tetanus booster from trying pull anything through that clog of Wolverine fur.
