Ducks 54-19 2 TO 4 Sacks 285 Passing

Oregon 35-13 2 2 313

Oregon 38-21 2 2 250

From Gary Breedlove: Oregon wins 45-14 3 Turnovers created 5 Sacks of Broncos 350 passing yards

*Ducks win!!! *48-17 *2 forced turnovers *3 sacks *388 yards passing (Raiola throws for a 100 plus)

In the big games OSU & INDY both their qb's were able to move around without a lot of pressure, and find guys. Containment is always risky with top notch qb's. I certainly hope we start to see more sacks and fewer third and long completions for 1st downs.

Green and yellow always works for me.

I was thinking the same thing, with one small modification. I was thinking that's the uniform the Ducks should wear while winning the Natty!

Ducks!!! 35-6 1 Bronco TO 4 Duck Sacks 333 Duck passing yards

42-10 Oregon 2 TO 5 Sacks 310 Passing Yards

That's the uniform the Ducks should wear when they play for the National Championship.

With four year now to judge, I think it is fair to suggest (not unlike Kirby), Dan is at his core a pretty conservative coach (efficiency offense, bend-but-don't-break defense). I think that is what we should expect to continue to see, even with coordinator changes. I also expect more sacks and pressures this year (as well as more vertical passing success); but, more from individual talented/experienced players making more plays, than any significant coaching, scheme, or play-calling changes. With a talent composition rating on 247 of #3 (and I have argued #2 when just looking at probable two deeps), it is not an unreasonable choice (don't risk shooting yourself in the foot by taking many risky calls, instead sum up and rely upon the benefit of winning a greater percentage of individual battles over the course of a game). Dan doesn't loose to teams with talent disadvantages, and really neither do Smart or Day. The open question is will Dan adjust at all against the other 10%? Makes me think a bit about Nick Aliotti. A guy often know as very bend-but-don't-break. I always though, while I understood the rep, Nick was always willing to dial up the pressure and take risks when he had talent advantages (or at least guys he trusted). I am not sure we have seen Dan do that too often yet? I've seen a couple breakdowns of the Indiana games this offseason showing guys regularly open but Dante running around with pressure in his face unable to find them. This D appears to loathe risking those open guys (and that's kind of how most of college football plays it in 2026). Indiana was interesting because often they didn't appear so worried (maybe Texas Tech too but I haven't see enough of them to really offer that observation with confidence). A working theory on Cignetti is he is recognizing and taking advantage (on a calculated basis) of patterns of conservatism (on both sides of the ball) that have crept into the college game today.

Oregon 55-24 3 TO 4 Sacks 323 Pass yards

10-2 Win National Title 38.5 on offense 18 on defense Win NC 38-21

I think we get more sacks because the secondary should be better than last year. No where to throw the ball and their the QB has to throw it away or they go down. Veteran QBs know to throw it away quick but the younger ones will hold onto it and go down.

These are fine.. like many I am ready for Generation O to go away (next year!). Again, its the color palette just doesn't allow for much mix and matching. There are two sets of gear the Retros and the Modern and they don't mix. That's my biggest complaint. But the biggest takeaway here is.... Devon Jackson getting to spotlight the uniforms. Usually the player who gets to spotlight the uni is someone who has worked their tail off during practice. I've heard that Jackson might have the breakout year we've all wanted to see from his this year. Let's hope that's the case!

A ton of happy memories in this uniform!

A very cool video!

Based on the players interviews talking about pocket destruction and creating a cage around the QB, I don't think the defensive line philosophy has changed any. Their 1st job is still to contain the QB in the pocket. Getting to the QB is secondary. That appears to be a Dan Lanning thing, not a Tosh thing. I do think we get a few more sacks this year simply due to the massive pass rush upgrades Nasir Wyatt and Mathew Johnson offer. There is also a chance that our new DC will call more LB and secondary blitzes as well. Just my 2 cents reading the tea leaves.
