Ducks Win BOTH Big-10 Cross Country Titles
Our first two years in the Big-10....we won the most conference championships. We offer 18 sports at Oregon out of the 29 the conference has, and to win last year--we started the same way with winning both Mens and Womens Cross Country. Fantastic! Double Champions!

Strong Testimony About Our New Play-Caller, Jay Johnson
Heading into Week 9, Northwestern is ranked 17th in Strength of Record (SOR). NW's strength of schedule is ranked 53rd; the remaining SOS is ranked 12th. NW is ranked 20th in game control. Yes, the Wildcats' schedule has not been difficult to date, but NW has taken care of business. The one loss was on the road at No. 4 Indiana, where NW lost by two points. Oregon's SOS is ranked 18th, SOR 31. OBD has not taken care of business. Oregon is ranked 83rd in performance compared to predicted performance. AP No. 1 Miami's SOS is ranked No. 60. AP No. 6 Utah's SOS is ranked 88th. AP No. 7 UCLA's SOS is ranked 64th. AP No. 5 Notre Dame has played one top-25 opponent, No. 8 BYU, and lost. Pollsters and PO committee members may tout their use of statistics, but what matters is wins and losses and the Eye Test. Coach Pepper Rodgers: Two things matter in college football: the quality of your roster and your schedule. Oregon -3.5 vs. NW reflects Oregon's home record under Dan Lanning and the comparative difficulty in SOS to date. I expect NW will show up with the will to win a game it was given no chance to win in the preseason, behind a revitalized QB who is playing as well as any QB in the country. NW was down 17-0 in Bloomington. Aiden Chiles carved up the Hoosiers D in the second half and almost pulled off the win. NW played as well as Ohio State against Indiana, and Chiles didn't have Jeremiah Smith to pass the ball to. If Oregon doesn't come out with a desire to win, this could be Drew Mestemaker and OK State redux. A superior roster, if not coupled with a will to win, means zip. It's CFB. NW's QB is better than Oregon's QB. Will the Ducks' D win the game?

Identity, Whatever Happened There?
They'll need to forge a new run-first identity, at least for this season. The OL has shown some incremental improvement in run blocking against Illinois and the 4th quarter the game before so they need to lean into that hard. Add additional blockers to create heavy packages, keep schemes simple, whatever has to be done they need to do it since the passing game is so inconsistent. Making the offense a threat up front will force defenses to stop clogging up the mid-field which made things infinitely harder Raiola and Brock so far.

There is truth in what you say. What/who do you blame for the behavioral outcome?

As long as he treats us to some productive plays and doesn't call any trick plays we have a chance. 😱

Identity, Whatever Happened There?
NIL and endorsement is the new identity. Put a year on tape, come back an extra year and cash a fat check. Shut it down before the season ends and protect your self for the draft.

Identity, Whatever Happened There?
It took Mario a while at Miami and Ryan Day at Ohio State. Michigan is trying to get back to the Harbaugh style of power football. Lanning is Georgiaesk, and he will get there.

Ducks 38 - 28 1 TO 2 Sacks 211 YP NW is not coming in here very Chipper. Perhaps 1/4 of their defense is Unavailable ... or Walking Wounded (must be a new official reporting category). The Ducks' 63 off-tackle dive plays for the game average 3.333 ypc ... just enough to get a few first downs and scores against the NW WW and U decimated D. I'm glad this game is not on tv ... at least any of mine. Pax
