Well, it's not like the O-coordinator job is a life-time appointment. Oregon has had 23 in 56 seasons: 1971 - John Robinson (Frei) 1972-73 - Jesse Branch (Enright) 1974 - Joe Wade (Read) 1975-76 - Gene Dahlquist 1977-79 - John Becker (Brooks) 1980-82 - Erik Widmark 1983-88 - Bob Toledo 1989-94 - Mike Bellotti 1995 - Al Borges (Bellotti) 1996-97 - Dirk Koetter 1998-01 - Jeff Tedford 2002-04 - Andy Ludwig 2005-06 - Gary Crowton 2007-08 - Chip Kelly 2009-12 - Mark Helfrich (Kelly) 2013-15 - Scott Frost (Helfrich) 2016 - Matt Lubick 2017 - Marcus Arroyo/Mario Cristobal (Taggart) 2018-19 - Marcus Arroyo (Cristobal) 2020-21 - Joe Moorhead 2022 – Kenny Dillingham (Lanning) 2023 – Will Stein 2026 –Drew Mehringer

Lengthy Monday media press conference, quotes: Oregon Ducks On SIDan Lanning Promises Oregon Changes During Tense ExchangeThe Oregon Ducks’ second loss in five games has raised a plethora of questions about the program’s preparation and the job security of members of the coaching s

Geoff Schwartz was talking about the O-line on his Sunday morning radio show. Essentially he said every play on offense there was at least one mental error/missed assignment. He indicated the coaches were frustrated during the game because as soon as they pulled someone for screwups, someone else would screw up. It wasn't like they could fix the problem by pulling one guy who was having a bad game. So, who is responsible for the mental discipline of individual players when apparently so many of them were having screwups?

Head coach Kirby Smart is 1-3 vs Alabama in the regular season. That's 4 games played in 11 seasons. The SEC - It Just Means More.

Georgia vs Alabama. Head Coach Kirby Smart’s first Georgia season was 2016. Yesterday was Smart’s first regular season win over Alabama. He is now 1-3 in regular season vs Alabama in 11 seasons at Georgia.

"the o-line was terrible" - I heard Geoff Schwartz on the radio this morning. Basically he said the same thing. He said the in-game dilemma the coaching staff had was every play somebody different was screwing up. They couldn't substitute out a guy having a bad game because there were too many guys screwing up. One guy would temporarily get "fixed", then another guy would screw up. He implied the o-line didn't run a clean play the whole game because somewhere along the line there was a screwup during the play.

Nebraska fans are already grumping about the kickoff time: 10:00 pm Central. Claiming it is their latest game ever, surpassing a 9:30 at Fresno. But, they have played later than 10:00 CT when they had games at Hawaii. "the o-line was awful" - I heard Geoff Schwartz on the radio this morning. Basically he said the same thing.

14-17 in overtime in 2012 to Stanford at Autzen. Stanford had possession a bit over 37 minutes of the 60. UCLA had it 39:15. But, Oregon racked up yards against Stanford, just couldn't score. In the game today, there were no yards until late. The last time before that was 0-16 at UCLA in 2007.

Cristobal and Mirabal.

UCLA 7 possessions ending in Oregon territory. Oregon 3 in UCLA territory. Possession at this moment: 32:46 – UCLA 13:43 - Oregon

Tough choice to make to substitute QBs when you start a drive inside your own 10, but it's 3 quarters now and today isn't Raiola's day. Try something. Ducks have had 13 possessions, and no more than 4 plays in any of those 13. Maybe somebody like Akili Jr can scramble for a first down? The defense has not received any help from the offense.

56 yds in first half is fewest in Lanning era

Can we borrow Iowa's O-line for a half?

Total yds 241 – UCLA 56 – Oregon Raiola: 5 of 15, 36 yds Time of possession 20:25 – UCLA 9:35 – Oregon Oregon 10 possessions. 3 were in UCLA territory ending TD on a 1 yd drive, fumble at the UCLA 15 and fumble at the UCLA 49. All other drives ended in Oregon territory. UCLA had 5 possessions ending in Oregon territory.

"..nobody is giving him any help getting open either.." Always the frustration of watching on TV as compared to being in the stadium. TV doesn't show beyond 10 yds or so downfield.

41-24 and it wasn't that close. Fuskies scored a TD on the last play of the game. Actually, it wasn't even as close as 41-18. Dawgs had minus 3 yards rushing for the game. Iowa had 263 rushing. QB Demond Williams was 6 of 11 for 69 passing. His backup Elijah Brown was 24 of 32 for 202. If Fisch doesn't start him for the rest of the season fuskie fans will set themselves on fire.

Half-time: 27-3 Iowa playing with their second team QB this game. Second team QB Brown comes in for dawgs and does begin moving the ball but falls short of a TD pass. Neither side of UW's line had a decent first half. QB Demond Williams was under attack. Iowa has some fans there making a little noise. Last night they had a sell-out of 1,000 for a local pep rally at a hotel. Fans who registered for the event came from 37 different states. Iowa's last regular season win in the West was 1987 in Tucson.
