The times I saw Fox Crader play I thought he looked pretty solid. In particular he seemed much more mobile than Isaiah World and Alex Harkey, especially moving laterally. Even at the tackle spot there's such a thing as being too large since faster DEs can cause problems if you're just too slow.

I do see the benefit of running by committee per David's main points (keeping legs fresh during a long season, limiting opportunities for injury, keeping players from transferring through playing time, etc.) and I think it should stay that way with one caveat: more recognition by coaches to leave the "hot hand" in instead of cycling him out as a matter of procedure. If it's a critical/difficult game like with Indiana where Davidson was the only one making headway, leave him in. Not sure if the position coach or the OC makes those calls when it comes to substitutions but one or the other should take that into more consideration.

It's not enough to "mutually part ways". That case needs to be appealed and overturned otherwise it becomes historical precedent to allow others to try and snake their way through without any punishment.

Utah seriously screwed themselves. Private equity is indeed the devil.

It's a shorter trip than going to Boise I suppose. I like a 1 FCS, 1 G6, 1 P4 combo schedule before conference play starts.

Yikes! So very fortunate it was treated in time.

Coach Terry is definitely earning his paycheck this month!

End of an era. Thanks Charles for providing us with such great content and building a passionate community of Ducks. I'm glad that at least the forum lives on, the game threads are quite something to behold!

Still burns me up that OBD gets only a partial revenue share while USC and UCLA get full shares.

Even the best sites and apps have some kind of downtime now and then. Thanks for all the effort you put in!

I'm just starting to watch a replay on YouTube. Another story to watch are the kickers, who's going to step up for starting kicking duties?

It'd be great if he develops into a Jaden Canedy type of player. I just worry about shorter DBs when they have to line up opposite to the Jeramiah Smiths of the world.

#5 rated safety in the country according to Rivals, solid pick up! My only concern is that he's a bit on the smaller side compared to the other DBs OBD has recruited the last couple years.

A little more info on Meadow. He's a really nice pick up. Can score inside and out, solid size and versatile, plus plenty of starting experience. https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2026/04/oregon-mens-basketball-adds-experienced-forward-in-transfer-portal.html

Great article! I think all eyes are going to be on Coach Drew and how he handles the offense. Secondary stories would be: How will the rebuilt OL mesh and build chemistry quickly Dante Moore's year 2 improvement (I'm looking for better reads, fewer INTs, step up in big games) Who will step up in the LB group? Embarrassment of riches at WR, who will rise to the top?
