Big Ten in talks on standings-based schedules from 2028 that could reshape Oregon’s slateOhio State athletic director Ross Bjork says the Big Ten is in active talks about building league schedules from the previous season's standings. For Oregon, that would replace a rotation set years in advance with a slate tied to the Ducks' own results.

It took Mario a while at Miami and Ryan Day at Ohio State. Michigan is trying to get back to the Harbaugh style of power football. Lanning is Georgiaesk, and he will get there.

The thing that made Coach Lanning a good young Head Coach, aggressiveness, is now something he wants back. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2026/10/30/oregon-football-dan-lanning-ducks-playing-scared/92505551007/

Well said. It helps me understand also.

Ducks 38 - 28 1 TO 2 Sacks 211 YP NW is not coming in here very Chipper. Perhaps 1/4 of their defense is Unavailable ... or Walking Wounded (must be a new official reporting category). The Ducks' 63 off-tackle dive plays for the game average 3.333 ypc ... just enough to get a few first downs and scores against the NW WW and U decimated D. I'm glad this game is not on tv ... at least any of mine. Pax

While the train has definitely come off the tracks, this Duck honk, homer doesnt feel that it has plunged off the cliff. We, as Duck fans have and are spoiled. Since Kenny W's pick six, in 1995, the Ducks have had just 2 losing seasons! And a few 7-6 seasons. Just like some of this year's players, many Duck fans cannot handle adversity. It appears that some on this Forum fall in that category, too. And that is okay. This season has been difficult to watch and very dissapointing. As fans we carry hearts, hopes, dreams and passion on our sleeves. At least we have this great Forum to vent on. And there are many reasons for that. Coaching and players come at the top of the list. BIG 10 scheduling doesn't help either. Some teams have easy paths (UCLA, Penn State and NW to this point) Others have difficult paths. Northwestern opponents have a combined record of 25-28. Take IU and South Dakota State out of that mix and NW has played opponents with a 12-25 record. They have played some soft teams, 4 with losing schedules. No wonder they have inflated rushing numbers. Just 1 ranked team on that schedule (P-4) However, Chip, made some exceptional play calls to keep NW in the IU game. Almost pulling off the upset. IU is not the full team juggernaut of last season. And the Duck D will have to play at their best. The Ducks have played a much more difficult schedule with a combined record 37-16. Take PSU out and that opponent record is 35-10, with 4 ranked teams on that schedule. Let that simmer for a bit.... If the Duck O can have a few sustained scoring drives, play field position, then the Duck D will handle Chips offense. If not, OBD's will lose a close game. This team has lost 3 games by a combined 21 points. I remember a number of games we lost by 21 points or more. 2-2 without their starting QB. And with 2 back up QB's that couldn't hit wide open receivers on short passes. The line blocked, the receivers got open, the play call was correct. The QB's did not execute. That is fixable with this talent level. Just have some perspective, realistic expections, and if you are not driving, drown your sorrows in the brew of your choice. I sure miss my Grandfather's moonshine wine, he brewed in his hidden cellar. Johnson and the Offense are playing with the house's money. They should be loose and just have fun. Be the spoiler and get better as a unit. Have faith Forum members. The worst think that can happen is OBD's lose the game. There really are worst things that can happen. Try, as others have posted, to take 30 years of losing or being mediocre........ DL and his staff will not let that happen! Go Ducks...

Oregon 27-24 2 TO 2 Sack 289

It appears that Coach Lanning has prioritized youth and recruiting chops, over experience and player development, when it comes to coaching hires. I’d prefer that Oregon recruits hungry 4 stars and develops and coaches them to their full potential. I’d rather have a really good college QB (or any other position) than a 5-star future NFL lottery draft pick. Watching Northwestern’s offense and execution this past week has been fun. If Oregon’s offense is not able to stay on the field this weekend, we are going to get destroyed. Good luck defending that offense for 30+ minutes in a game.

For a little context, for as much of a trainwreck the Illinois loss was, it was Lanning's first road loss in the Big10 in the nearly 2 1/2 years of being in it.

So all of a sudden, after decades of success as a program, nobody can coach and 4/5 star players cant play? So Lanning, all of a sudden, forgot what talent was? Or how to recognize talent? All of a sudden, after highly successful seasons, Lanning true talent as a coach "shines" through. This season is bazaar to say the least

Lanning locked himself in with a weak plan A for offensive coaching with an even weaker plan B. It just is what it is. The good news is that he seems genuinely humbled by it all and is growing a lot as a coach. He had a great interview with the Portland Sports Radio show acknowledging it himself. Next year expect this team to be back on track and returning to the top 10. For now just jump in the Delorean with Doc and Marty and buckle up as we head back to the 80's. Young Duck fans will get to experience for a year what we went through for decades of rooting hard for a struggling team. It was tough being a fan all the way up to when Kenny Wheaton finally scored. 0-0 meant you weren't behind yet and you still had a chance. Yes it looks awful this year but there's also something more compelling about going into each game hoping rather than expecting to win. Go Ducks!

I think we already know how talented Lanning is and whether he has the right stuff.

Charles, I need you to stay strong through this. 😭

At least this guy has some experience. I'll be first to predict that the Ducks start getting it back together. With that many 4 and 5 stars, you almost have to try to mess up. The first order of the day is to figure who is going to play what positions on the O line. Then stop swapping it around every week. Find some plays that the other teams don't know about. Figure out what plays Raiola can run. Then stop being so obvious. Make the defense guess a little.

We're on Peacock because FOX, CBS and NBC have no idea who we are. CBS reluctantly took OBD next week because Ohio State is always a draw. Until the wagons fell off, we and USC were the 12:30 and 4:30 TV options. The LA market is covered the rest of the season. We may get a slot against the Fuskies if we defeat Ohio State. Otherwise, we might as well be little brother because TV dropped us faster than our fan base did.

27-17 Ducks 1 2 280

Rock Bottom? The D is still very good except for a few plays with blown assignments. The O line is up and down. Raiola is up and down. The RBs are kind of pedestrian without the great blocking, but they do have some great moments. This can get fixed in 2027 with a little help from the portal and going into the future - a better way to develop O linemen. Starting with getting them into shape. For now, stop letting the weak teams beat you.

23-14 NW 1 1 225 More concerned about effort from the players. They stand a chance if they are willing to fight.

38 -17 Welcome to today's Northwest, Northwestern. A block off the old Chip. 1 1 205 Am I happy now? 🤬🤬🤬
