I think the games lost by starters during the season leading up to the Ohio State National Championship was ~29 (about half coming on the OL). That number however doesn't count two starters who were lost for the season before it started (Johnstone, Addison) as they never suited up in 2014 (and the new starters for those spots were selected in fall camp). Adding in 30 starts there (which probably is the more accurate number) reaches 59 starts in 15 games (30 on the OL).

I think he has been listening to the force ghost of Kenny Rodgers. You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. Well I DO hear "The Gambler" term used to describe DL often. So, I have to agree with your Kenny Rodgers reference cuz, "There will be plenty time for counting....when the "scoring" is done! (Poor, abused, pushups marathon for "The Duck"). 🦆🏈🪨's.

Well this.....SUCKS! Loved his passion and leadership on defense. Seemed to get even better as the season progressed. Probably won't see him play again as an Oregon Duck. Some NFL team is going to get a STUD! Thanks for you commitment to OBD and good fortune to you on your professional NFL career. Once a Duck. Always a Duck.

In my Opinion..."Luck". Good or bad is actually part of the game. Probably why they put them darn pointed ends on the ball (aren't balls suppose to be round???), like some demented coin flip (which is how each game starts anyway). How teams respond (bad luck) or take advantage of (good luck) usually determines the flow and even outcome of games. Kinda a lot like life. GO QUACKERS!

Just absolutely utterly brutal......

Nice article David. I think Lanning is a great coach for both the Oregon fanbase and the Oregon brand. He's a modern guy that relates to the modern player. He believes in an exciting style of play which is entertaining to watch. His style of coaching translates to many players moving on the next level and having success there. I know it was impossible to make the OC change after the Nebraska win. It's hard not to contemplate the what ifs about making that change at halftime at Illinois. It has been wild watching Lanning 2.0 materialize right before our eyes. I think he has been listening to the force ghost of Kenny Rodgers. You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em.

The hits just keep on coming. 🤬 Healing blessings for Mr. TT. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2026/11/10/oregon-football-teitum-tuioti-injury-impact/92701991007/

You could say it was luck that Ohio State whacked the Ducks in the Rose Bowl CFP Quarterfinal. However, I believe the Ducks were out coached and outplayed. Just like our win on Saturday, Ohio State was out coached and out played. Not much luck involved.

I could not d I could not disagree more strongly. I went to the game in person. Oregon essentially dominated that game from mid-2nd quarter onwards. They dominated both lines and pushed Ohio State around the field. Not only did they not get any sacks on DR, but he really only came under serious pressure on two dropbacks. Further, the two late touchdowns occurred when the outcome of the game was already decided and Oregon essentially went into prevent defense mode. I also don't exactly know what Ohio State's QB had to do with Oregon calling a screen pass at the perfect time (anticipating the blitz call) or Dierre Hill breaking a 48-yard run through the B-gap or Tuiotti throwing a phenomenal jump pass to Matayo on a fake punt that caught the Buckeyes with their pants down. Like I said.....I couldn't disagree more strongly.

Morning all and happy Thursday. I know Lanning has restored a lot of our trust and faith in him these past two weeks with two back to back ranked wins and I think he's proving he has what it takes to get the job done. Lanning is the Right Coach to get the Ducks a ChampionshipThe Ducks are a long shot from making the College Football Playoff, though it's not impossible, they are also an long shot to make the Big Ten Championship game, but again, not impossible.

Offensive line still sucks too. The scheme right now is built around allowing the offensive line to actually function. But the offensive line is still a major liability.

Notre Dame is officially required to play 10 Power 4 teams to be eligible. So their 2027 schedule is in compliance (two Big-10 opponents, one SEC opponent, one Big-12 opponent and six ACC opponents).

I humbly disagree. I don't think the 24-team playoff will automatically guarantee better out-of-conference games. The only way to guarantee that is to REQUIRE it with a rule. Let me give you one piece of evidence. Three years ago they tripled the size of the playoff--from 4 teams to 12 teams. Did that result in better out of conference schedules.......heck no!!!!!! Despite tripling access to the playoff, the out of conference slate was super weak this year. Teams like Indiana and Penn State scheduled three cupcakes without hesitation. The Big Noon game on week 1 was Indiana vs. North Texas!!! Thankfully, they are at least requiring 1 P4/ND out of conference game, which will help somewhat. It'd be MUCH better if they required 2 such games however.

Just look how lucky Hill gets as the sea just parts in front of him as he just casually strolls in for the TD.

With luck like this, who needs to be good?

Nevermind... gotta follow the FishDuck rules. Moving on

I feel terrible for TT. He was playing so well and was one of the team leaders. Loved seeing him used on offense. Thank you for all you’ve poured into the program and best of luck in the NFL. Once a Duck…

Scoring 38 consecutive points = luck? I’ll take that kind of “luck” the rest to the way!

Big loss for sure. Wish Tatum all the best. Thanks for being an all time great Duck. That fake punt will be talked about for decades.

Don't know game totals but my memory says we lost 13 starters by the time we played tOSU for the Natty.

That has been one nice thing about the 12 team playoff. The SEC has been completely exposed going 3-6 against non-SEC opponents in two postseasons (Texas over Clemson, ASU in '24 and Ole Miss over Tulane in '25).
