Head Coach Dan Lanning meets with the media ahead of Oregon Football's road matchup at #11 Ohio State on Saturday, November 7, 2026 (Time: 12:30pm PT | Watch: CBS).

Ten facts (?) about the matchup. No. 1, let's hope Raiola gets another win over a team he was comitted to. 10 Things Oregon Football Fans Might Be Overlooking Before Ohio State

Ok, here is how to root this weekend to improve our chances (Yes, I'm saying "you mean we have a chance") Nebraska over Illinois since Illinois holds the tie breaker over us. UCLA over Minnesota, we need UCLA to win out. Rutgers over Wisconsin, as long as Wisky only has two losses we need them to have a third. NW (we have the tie breaker) over Iowa (another two loss team) Bonus . . . Indiana to lose two in a row . . . the bye week and then SC. Oregon football: Four games that could impact Ducks' CFP chances

Charles, thanks for putting up this video/podcast. The guys did a great job of pointing out the very subtle changes that Jay Johnson utilized. He played to the strengths of his players. He didn't ask lineman to do things that are not in their skill set. The pin and pull concept was very effective on pre-called run plays. The lineman and tightends assignments were simple, if within the defensive alignment you had a body aligned on you, then pin that player. If no player was lined up on you then pull to the assigned side of the field the play was called. D backs, safeties and outside LB's are not expecting 330 pound lineman freight training at them with a full head of steam. Forum members there was a reason that the Ducks had some big yardage on outside runs. For those fans who don't know some of the X's and O's of the game, this video will enhance your understanding of the Duck O. Jamari had an incredible game executing his blocking assignments. Shortening DR's progressions to half the field was brilliant. The ball got out quickly to an assigned receiver for low risk and positive gains. You know the Oline gave up no sacks. They asked DR to do less, play to his strengths and they got more success from him. Bringing either Dak or Evan across the field, back into DR's reduced field progressions was superb. Who can cover those 2 players slanting in from the backside. As you watch the clips and listen to the analysis, you will really look forward to this weeks game. I look forward to reading the posts and comments of those who take the time to view this. GO DUCKS.

Mummy mode 2.0 I like these. Home runs on the uni 2 weeks in a row.

Moore will miss a minimum of 8 games. Thats double Tua numbers. Maybe he has permanent brain damage. I don't know. Tua missed 2 games after getting hauled off to the hospital. The week before he was injured on a sack they called a back injury, probably concussion tho. This led to huge changes in NFL rules. At this point, Moore is either permanently damaged and the risk of a second concussion is super risky to life time health or he is just scared (understandable). Not sure which. Either way, he should retire from football before he gets himself hurt permanently. I hope he moves on to the draft, he is no longer, imo, a viable option at QB for Oregon. It's odd to me that these decisions to shut it down come in the wake of huge payoffs in NIL. It will be interesting to see if SID (shut it down) becomes a trend after injury for players that come back for one more year. Food for thought.

I get the feeling OBD like wearing black when they face the Buckeyes.

Hmm, Am I a negaduck? I haven't picked the opponent once.

What are you seeing that I’m missing? In my perspective, Davison has looked injured all year. For Moore, there is a small percentage of concussions that linger and it’s entirely possible that is what is happening. I don’t see either Davison or Moore helping their financial futures by not playing. If Moore came back and led the team to victory, especially if the offense hummed with him leading, his draft prospects would improve dramatically ($$$$). For running backs especially, getting a reputation for being constantly injured is a kiss of death.

I fear we are Arthur Fonzarelli waterskiing at this point.

I’m still here. 🤣 Seriously, though. Last week looked promising. I hope we boatrace tosu next week.

I believe the Baseball team will have a higher win percentage than the Mens Basketball team.... Coach Waz

Black and White again...Chrome Helmet looks interesting. (Video only 28 seconds)

Charles, I'm just starting to settle in for basketball season and you post an article about baseball! I love your enthusiasm for all things Ducks! Looking forward to a good bowl game, an improved basketball team from last year's disaster and a competitive baseball team.

Why are these players "deciding" to shut it down for the year. You are getting paid a lot of money to play. So play.

None of this really matters until the week before the playoffs.

That would bring more troubling questions from me about prioritization and NIL cap management… What’s the point of having a $7M+ QB room, if you can’t protect them?

Good points TD. It’s occurred to me on more than one occasion that fans’ passions for their teams can verge on substance abuse when winning ways suddenly go south. I love those warm, feel good Sundays following a Duck victory. The whole day just kind of floats. But, the opposite is true with an unexpected loss - painfully raw nerves. Because of that, I kind of feel for Duck fans who’ve only known the winning. It’s the losing that gives you balance and perspective, and without the lows, there’s no highs.

Thats exactly what I think. The funds were pretty thin once they got to the O line. Not sure why/if they thought the O line was a secondary need. 2nd most important position group on the team.

Fact is we're fans. We aren't on the field, playing. Or coaching. And we probably got used to seeing the Ducks win. Seeing them lose as they have recently has triggered a lot of emotion. But there's little chance any of us will be putting on a uniform and showing everyone how an offensive lineman should operate. Those days are over for most of us. None of us will be climbing in the box calling plays, either. The only outlet fans have is talk. Talk IS our game. And shouting at the tv accomplishes very little other than sending the rest of the family into hiding. The great thing about this forum is that we can do all our talking—not shouting—among people with the same interest, the same loyalty. That's a lot better than doing it in the local bar or at work ... where we might run into SUC or SUCKeye fans. Fights have been known to break out in those situations. In a way, Charles has afforded us a safe space. And those of us who aren't coaches can get a pretty decent football education just by listening.

Maybe not. Renewing all the young players, the players headed to the NFL who stayed, and the new players from a highly ranked recruiting class may have left them short of NIL money. We cannot draw an accurate conclusion on their evaluation of the OL based on the scant facts we have, IMHO. We weren't there.... But bottom line--I agree with you that they gambled and lost on the offensive line.

Perhaps they are waiting to see which team shows up next week, the week after that, etc.? The team that showed up against USC or UCLA? The team from the first half or the second half of the Northwestern game? I gave props to the players for not giving up at the end of the Northwestern game thread. The interim OC also deserves props, based on post game analysis, it seems like he reduced the progressions that Riola had to make and let him rip it. Anyway people want to slice it, this is a lost season and it started with the hiring of the OC and evaluation of the OL room. I’m watching to see how the team improves and which young players step up.
