"We kind of call ourselves the guinea pigs of college football.” Remember 2021 when 6 people were out with foot injuries? I blamed Nike then and this only reinforced my opinion. I remember another time when we tried out a new style of helmet and everyone got headaches, thank goodness it was just the off-season. There are pros and cons to this.

I'd like to throw out another possible correlation...the only teams Dan Lanning has ever lost to were teams that played or won the national championship or teams with orange and black jerseys with school acronyms of OSU.

I have yet to see a Ducks vs Them hype video after a loss.

Future NFL guys being paid big bucks for this? Back-to-back games where I saw ZERO enthusiasm on the field? Where is the on-field leadership? The only hope? This is how Ohio State no-showed much of the 2025 season before kicking it into gear. But Ohio State made the PO as a 2-loss team. Will this Oregon team finish 10-2? Players making lots of dough who could be in the NFL appear to be unfocused and uninterested. Where's the pride? I agree with a number of the above comments. How about less focus on the bells and whistles marketing and more attention on winning games? I'm sorry, but this includes Dan being available to participate in a pregame Pat McAfee contest. FOCUS and give a whip!

I think it's a little of column A, a little of column B, you're right, the whole operation failed today, and it does start at the top. I do think the players need to be held accountable.

I'm not sure the hype videos are the rat poison, and those are still great for recruiting.

Losing 2 of the last 3 is a sobering thought, but I am certainly not ready to jump on the “Can Dan Train” yet.

Good call Mr Fischer. Looking forward to getting right next week.

On top of that the run wasnt working and neither the short passes, so why not take your chances on some long passes and build some momentum?

You're free to define a trend across the last few games of one season and the first two games of the next season in college football, but there are too many variables for me. It's too early in the season to write us off as being capable of being a good team.

Starting with JMU up to now… Defense last two quarters vs JMU Four quarters vs Indiana Four quarters vs BSU Four quarters vs Ok. State Offense… Four quarters vs Texas Tech Four quarters vs Indy Four quarters vs BSU Four quarters vs Ok. State Lose last two out of three… After today did not hear Lanning say he needs to coach better. This team could win 11 could win 5. USC is the make or break. Have to win BIG to get to CFP. Doubt it happens. Downward trend…

I think it is the coaches that need to have their perks stripped and not the players. I thought the players played hard but the coaches failed them. A coach should put their players in the best possible situations to win and coach Lanning did not do that today. His decision to go for it while deep in our own territory was just plain stupid.

It's never as bad as it looks either. There is a world where Ok State is in the B12 title game and Finishes in the top 20 right beside Boise State. It's flat out unfair for players with bodies conditioned to 60-70 degree dry air to suddenly play in 97 degree ultra high humidity air. It melts your brains and turns your muscles to jello. They were out in it way too long with the lightning delay to boot after getting up at 4am. Remember all the bad games against Arizona teams in November in the PAC12 when it was summer weather in AZ but we were used to fall weather? I believe it's harder to play good going from mild to too hot l, than going from mild to super cold. The game is over and so yes I'm making excuses, but this horrible loss is not inexplicable. We certainly have issues to fix with the inexperienced players, but if BSU and Ok State are really good and the weather impacted our players as badly as I have experienced before, there is still a possibility for this team to be really good this year. Natty? no, but playoffs? still possible. Next game.. Lastly I hope Carl Williams is okay, they showed him getting knocked out cold and he could barely even walk after he woke up. Tough to see.

The real weaknesses of this team are the Lines. I cant believe how bad the D line is considering the experience and the O line is just awful. My Grandma could get through them but our backs cant find a hole.

Actually, the social media stuff was really good this week, and the uniform reveal was to die for.

He's had 4 years to learn when to go for it on 4th down, he still consistently gets it wrong, we haven't completed one I believe this year, that's atrocious, he isn't going to learn. I do think he still is the best guy for the job, because I don't think we can get better. I don't think anybody is advocating for Lanning to be looked at the end of this season, but it would be nice to see him realize he can't always be this aggressive, and I would also like to see him take over some responsibilities when it comes to defensive play-calling. He needs to own that side of the ball.

I liked a few of them when they were new, but I don't watch a single one at this point, it's all fluff, it would be nice to actually care about the whole "bring a lunchpail". If I was Lanning I would strip the players this week of every perk they get. Have the meetings in some cafeteria on campus using the little school seats with the desks attached to them, make them change in the visiting locker room or even better make them go to student rec center, make them actually have to earn those perks back, but I'm sure it'll be business as usual, there won't be any consequences for this, they'll just complain that it was hot and it was early start.

He's as good as we can get for now. He's still young, so question is if he will learn from mistakes, or has he peaked? I think he will get better.

I expected to see progression from last week. Instead, I saw regression everywhere, except special teams. Thats coaching. Unfortunately, I suspect we've seen DL's ceiling.

Once upon a time we lost to PSU game one and went to the Rose Bowl. This team, hmm, just so much wrong.

If I were offering DL my sage advice I would suggest banning cameras from the practice facilities. The hype machine has run its course.

And it was the second one following an equally poor decision to go for it on 4th and 7 just inside the 50 yard line. Your defense was just beginning to show signs of life. That one changed the remainder of the game IMHO.

Lets just hope Boise St doesn't lose a bunch of games

I think this take is correct by Geoff. This is arguably the worst loss in Oregon history.

I said after last week's game that maybe hiring from within wasn't the best idea. Both sides of the ball have regressed greatly. While it is not the end of the season, it is time to keep an eye out for an offensive and defensive coordinator, just in case.
