Mike Norvell…he will be gone from FSU. He and Lanning go way back. Lanning has always thanked him for his first full time gig at Memphis.

I'm still a big Lanning fan but it's like we've got Tom Hanks in Bachelor Party when we need Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan.

This disastrous performance must be laid at the feet of the coaches. They have taken a team that pre-season had the 2nd best odds of winning the NC ... to what we witnessed yesterday. Yes, the O-line was more than awful and has been. And that results in poor qb play. But the game preparation, play calling, player motivation and skills development has been much too terribly lacking. Hmm. I wonder how we'd do in the Mid-American conference.

If Nebraska wins, they will get ranked and be the fifth straight ranked team the Ducks have played. By the time they play Northwestern, it may be seven out of the first eight. Crazy. In contrast USC has yet to beat a BIG team that has even won a BIG game yet. Out of six BIG teams yet to win, they have played three.

To repeat what Mr. Kamakazi discussed. Can someone explain to me what the purpose of going for the first two point conversion was? An extra point puts us up by four. What does five points do for us? This alone IMHO cost us the game (along with other issues certainly). We had the momentum in the fourth quarter thanks to Brock Thomas and with a tie to force overtime, we could have won with our momentum.

And now, the worse game.

Give the start to Brock Thomas. He has earned it.

After all the preseason hype, this year has been an embarrassment. Big changes need to happen before next season.

100% correct

Wow, It is almost impressive how absolutely abysmal that spectacle was. This morning as we all try to process what we just witnessed, I think there is a convergence of factors that need to be addressed separately and then added together to understand what is so wrong with the Ducks offense. Starting at the top, Lanning's gambling addiction needs to be addressed. It stopped being fun pedal to the metal go big or go home stuff years ago. Why in the world does he take so many potentially game changing risks so early in so many games? Last year in the first game with Indiana, on the first drive, he decides to go for it on fourth down on the short side of the field. Why? After failing, the Hoosiers kick a field goal and settle in and control the game the rest of the way. This week it's going for two in the first quarter. Both times it's high risk low reward decisions that set a negative tone for the rest of the game. Not only is it poor strategy, I think gambling shows a lack of confidence in the team that sets the negative tone mentioned earlier. It needs to stop like with an intervention, counseling or a life changing moment. Whatever the answer is, it needs to happen soon. The OC promotion has been a disaster. Mehringer seems like a good tight end coach but nothing on his resume screamed OC potential. His results as OC at Rutgers were bad and we're now seeing why. This team has been assembled with some of the best skill position players in the country which gets negated by some of the worst play calling in the country. The simplistic route tree the receivers run negates their physical advantage. Running up the middle has been this teams most glaring weakness and yet continues to be their favorite play. With the game and playoff hopes on the line, with a last chance opportunity to escape with a win in OT with a successful two point conversion what gets called? Yes the Ducks worst and least successful play all year. Right up the middle. Inexcusable. One of the few successful drives the team had was self destroyed with a way too cute wildcat hand off fumble. When it ain't broke, don't fix it. It also needs to be asked how can the offensive line be so terrible? A quick look at the OL two deep shows ten players rated 4-5 stars. How in the world in year five with that much talent can the Ducks have one of the worst O lines in the country. Since everything starts up front, everything gets derailed at step one. Something is appallingly wrong and someone needs to deal with this ASAP. To summarize an inexplicably bad OL with great talent is setting up plays doomed to fail by an OC in over his skies. All this is setting up a delicate chess match that needs to be strategically navigated by a river boat gambler who never wants to be told the odds. Welcome to Oregon Duck football 2026. Buckle up.

I watched that game and Nebraska shot themselves in the foot over and over again. I think this game will come down to who makes the least number of mistakes.

One bright spot from the game. Defense kept the Ducks in the game. Despite being on the field twice as long as the offense, they held UCLA to 17 points.

I am a what’s next fan. Can we win 8 or 9 games? Not without Donte. What will a nothing bowl game look like. How many leave the program for playing time, who and how many get poached by other schools. This was not just an ugly loss, it was a blow to the program. We are hated because of our flash. You may laugh but other teams doing shout in our house as an in your face, do something about it, and we don’t? Our bowl game roster will be completely different if we make a bowl game. I don’t know if Dan knows how to fix this. But now I am an observant fan but that is it. likely Nebraska wins next week, no line and a rusty Donte. No pretty. Interesting time.

guys (gals), we are going to be ok. Lanning and company have hit an extraordinary speed bump. He has already proven he can adjust under duress. This is a project that he will grow from, and he has shown me he has incredible poise despite the massive pressure he faces to perform at the highest elite level against some pretty damn good coaches and their staffs. He has achieved so much in so little time we have been spoiled. Whomever he starts, and however he attacks this challenge, know that this crises will pass and time will tell how far we climb as a program. We may not reach the pinnacle this year, or any other. Being in the elite circle of contenders is fine for me. It takes an incredible amount of luck and fortune to win a title. Look at Cristobal. He is only a few years ahead in terms of experience( and he doesn't have a title either despite some "natural" advantages we have to overcome). It takes time. It took Rich Brooks 20 years. Remember that. We went from an Indiana universe to an Oregon Universe with a blend of different styles and approaches. And we are in the group despite our current challenges. This year is a lesson we must be patient and thankful. We have been able to talk about earning our first title for nearly 20 years. Dozens of programs will never have the opportunity we have. No reason to panic. It will all work out the way it is supposed to,

I was thinking Brock Thomas halfway through the second quarter.

Ummm. NO!

If Dante is not going to return... Or until, I'd like to see Akili Smith play. He is big, strong arm and an athlete. I think if he d played second half maybe we win. He would have added the run element... I doubt we could have played worse or had more turnover had he played. I am not at all comfortable with Railoa for next yr for obvious reasons...

I saw much of the Nebraska game and was very impressed with their O line. Even if Oregon gets it QB situation under control, it will still be hard to win.

I don't blame you. Since I live in Northern California (not Cali) I am still able to wear my gear to show my fandome without too much ridicule.

Nebraska dominated them for 3 quarters and gave up 2 huge plays in the 4th.

Watching Georgia against Alabama tonight was like watching another level of football after watching today's Duck game.

Time to re-open the QB competition?
