I just witnessed JJ rip apart a 2 time superbowl champion DC.. put some respect on JJ name. Lets go back to one sequence that set up a future TD by Oregon. JJ on a goal line play purposely shifted Raiola out to WR hoping to get Ohio St to call timeout due to the formation. Their last of the quarter.. then comes back to the funky formation where Ohio St needed to call timeout and couldn't. Jamari runs up the middle for a TD.

Some Lanning perspective. BIG road record: 11-1 (5-0, 4-0, 2-1) Regular season head to head with tOSU, Michigan, Penn St, USC: 6-0 Road games with above four: 4-0 BIG record total: 21-3 (9-0, 8-1, 4-2)

The Ducks are undefeated in the regular season against Ohio State since the turn of the millennium. Unfortunately, Ohio State is undefeated in the post-season against Oregon during the same time period.

What have you done for us lately? 🤬 Maybe the Day is coming when Ryan will be an OC candidate. 😁 Larry Brown SportsOhio State fans are all saying the same thing about Ryan DayThe Ohio State Buckeyes' season appears to be spiraling down the drain, and the knives are once again out for head coach Ryan Day. The Buckeyes were blown

Wow. Dude literally pursues correctly the whole quarter. Later zooms in on a TFL. So now he needs to tackle better. But if he pursues like that from now on, do you realize how much that shores up the run defense? Oh, and that catch by Jeremiah Smith? Ohio State WRs have scored TDs with that much separation the past three years. Koi recovered and defended the pass. And if I recall correctly, it wasn't thrown behind Smith. I WANT THAT FROM KOI. No TDs given up, proper pursuit angles. Dude is very fast. And if this is an indication, he is using his speed to his advantage. Tackling can be cleaned up in practice. You see a negative. I see a positive. All due respect, I have no problem with Koi's performance today.

Next year, the SEC gets to prove if they are the superior conference. I believe it is why so many fans are complaining. SEC bias is real, or they are truly superior. Next year we will see what the conference is really about.

Lanning said the players didn't execute. Said the same last week. This is the part of coaching that is getting better. Coaches are getting directly involved and getting buy in from the players. I suspect it is two way communication. Notice how Koi's pursuit has been more effective? Now they need to work on tackling. I have to look at the film more, but I am seeing signs of improvement. If they keep this up, and play like they have the past two weeks, a USC win next week helps them out tremendously. IF.

And you need to recognize weaknesses and adjust accordingly.

Yay

Tuioti to Uiagalelei? The guy’s got some Chip in him.

I have to admit there’s been some ‘whoa!’ moments this season when I’ve questioned if this guy is who I believe he is. But, every time that doubt arose, I knew in my heart it was wrong, that he is legit. You just know it. For a young coach still learning the ropes to go through the gauntlet he has and get his team to do what they did today? That’s living proof that adversity builds character. And, that’s what I put my trust in.

This Ohio St win on the road is worthy of some hype. The passing attack and shut down defense finally looks good.

I just hope Dan Lanning learned 2 valuable lessons this year. You need the best coaches money can buy, and you need to scheme to YOUR player's strengths and weaknesses.

I cant remember ever seeing that in the past. I was actually surprised the telecast actually focused on the exodus. Until the Ducks pulled a significant portion of the D, tOSU had completely stopped focusing on JSmith. Not sure what was up with that...

He's good. I don't know why anyone has wanted him to leave.

I think he's shown more ability to adapt to an offensive game plan than Tosh. Now if he can just figure out how to start the game. I think he's doing a great job for a first year guy and will get better the more his guys believe in him. For continuity sakes alone I'd say bring him back for next year.

'Tis said that one learns more from loss than from any win.

Speaking of back-to-back, the wins against Northwestern and Ohio State were both ranked teams. The last time Oregon beat ranked teams back-to-back in the regular season was 2018: Cal and Washington. It's happened post-regular-season since.

I loved the game! But I'm really tired of the terrible refereeing in the B1G. It's easily as bad as the PAC12. Hmm, I wonder if they'd hire a slightly decrepit 81-year-old who could not do any worse??

Keep up the apparently improvement and I would say ok

Hmm, Looks just like what he faced after that Seattle game. People (everywhere) calling out his decision making, and his ability to dial it in. What happened? He leaned into who he is and stayed the course. I wonder how much more he got involved in both the offense and defense. Looks like he spent more time with the coordinators/play callers and drilled down to the essence of what he wanted. I think the players love him because he has a player's mentality. And all that "coach speak/word salad" people accused him of were words those people should have been paying more attention to. I've watched how he handled the duress he was under. He had far more poise than any of us, and he demonstrated character a whole lot of people need to pay attention to. Because they could sure use it in their personal lives. As I've watched fan bases around the country melt down, I have marveled at how easily way too many people don't grasp the concept that adversity and challenges are tests. They don't identify who you are, they define what you're made of. We are supposed to face obstacles. Too many of us run away from them. Ryan Day and Dan Lanning have gone through the same mess. Julian Sayin and Dante Moore have as well. And the biggest challenge all four have had is dealing with people that don't give them credit for hanging in there when their respective Offensive Lines have highly underperformed. That has been their challenge these past two seasons. FEBU is real. We all work better as a team. I believe fan bases bail when the rubber meets the road instead of letting things play out the way they eventually do. Penn State is facing the consequences of bailing on their man. And will for seasons to come. Their win this week notwithstanding. Winning is far more than Ws and Ls. One can definitely see how Lanning never lets his team give up. Like Day, he's won more than 80 percent of his games. And people fall apart over the 15 to 20 percent of losses. Can't say we need to be more positive, but I can say there is a huge lesson in all this. AND YES-I SCREAMED AT THE TV IN THE FIRST QUARTER TOO. But I never felt it meant Day or Lanning should face the music their fan bases have dealt them.

Unfortunately not. But back-to-back ranked wins is a great springboard and running the table the rest of the way provides an opening to that conference championship game if a few other chips fell in the right way.
