That's only to help Brooks get the stench of tater salad from such a great man. Oregon showed compassion in helping Brooks escape from the foul odor of souring pickles and mustard.

Not in my house. I am not a tyrant in my home, but if you root for USC ya gotta go.

I don't know that WSU is a better barometer than BYU in grading the progress of Oregon. Cougs beat Wisky but in IMO, Wisky beat Wisky. WSU barely beat the Vandals. I think Cougs are overrated. The AP was right to leave them out of the top 25. I am interested in how the Ducks look. Will they be focused? Execution? Team speed and ball pursuit? Tackling and intensity?Timing and reads? Have they added more complexities in scheme? Pullman is a great place to gage this progress due to the hostility. Cougs as a talent not so much. Oregon is a top 10 talent and are developing individually and as a team to showcase that talent on Saturdays. I like the Lanning mantra "Oregon is playing Oregon". This team has bought in. IMO, it will pay nicely in a venue like the Palouse. Humility is important, I am not trying to come across as arrogant. I see something special brewing in Eugene. Something built on solid rock. I am super excited. Really enjoying watching this season unfold. I can't get enough of Our Beloved Ducks.

I am going to defend Bridges a little. Dude has made some big plays. He was responsible for the third down play that set up the missed FG v. BYU. I think he has an INT also. He gets targeted, sure. But look at his counterpart, Gonzalez is lockdown. I am more critical of Gonzalez on those 2 pass breakups. He looked in position to pick both with ease. TB will not be the same player back half of the season he was last week. The development of these players over 3 weeks has been impressive. IMO, both boundaries will be locked by season end.

Oregon 42-17 2 2 285

Looks like he took an Oregon official visit back in 2018. Must have been some interest. Says he is 6'4" 298lb.

Ducks are better than most think. This won't be a close game. Ducks by 3 TD. Lead by atleast 4 at some point. The outcome won't be challenged in the second half.

"Go fast" is slang for meth. Probably should be left out.

One thing was mentioned above as how Kirby rotates players. A ton of what Kirby does is being mimicked here at Oregon. Looking at the runningback room, LB 's, the shifting around on the line. Lanning has the dudes in the RB's and LB's to go fairley deep. He is using a lot of players. I don't think Lanning cares one bit about burning redshirts. He is going to play guys as much and as often as he can. "If you're good enough, you're old enough ". I think the rotation Kirby uses is a big reason for his success. I think Lanning thinks so too. Lanning had Ty in the game early last week. Lanning knew it was to soon, one more score was needed. I think DL put TT in for development and teaching. Everything DL does is on purpose. Lanning had a great teacher in Kirby Smart. I think it's safe to say that Master/Grasshopper relationship didn't end when DL put on Green and Yellow. I hope Lanning and Smart meet in the final game in the next few years. Instant classic.

I don't really pay a lot of attention to the talking heads in sports. I will watch a little bit of GameDay. Mostly I read comments and convo here. I watch games pretty much all day on Saturdays and I have watched UGA every game. I know what good football is supposed to look like. UGA passes the eye test. Probably the best college football team I have ever watched. From coaching to players, this team is pretty amazing. That said, I am happy with what I am seeing from our Ducks. In the last game they passed the eye test against a quality opponent. Not at UGA level obviously but they looked really good last weekend. I am going to enjoy UGA football this year. They are a treat to watch. Any fan of college football knows that this years UGA is something college football has never seen. Everyone should be a fan of what has been created at Georgia. They are a special team and I celebrate what I see when I watch them play. Go Ducks

Lachlan: Australian for punter

Dilly is a 32 yo OC calling his own plays in 3 games. I doubt he lands at ASU. But who knows, his boss did it at Oregon.

I think I heard UGA has one sack this year. Could be wrong. I am not concerned. Keeping teams out of the endzone is what matters. Put Georgia game aside and Oregon is giving up 17 ppg. Take that over sacks any day.

Of WSU's 14 sacks, only one was against Wisky. The other 13 were Idaho and Colorado state.

From the moment Bo Nix became a Duck I was excited for this season. I have lobbied for him and defended him the whole way. I think Nix is a winner and a true leader. Nix was Auburn and this seasons Tigers is proof. Nix will make bad decisions. Nix will throw another bad pass. Nix will shoulder a lot of the blame if the Ducks take another loss. Its what leaders do, it's what winners do. Then come Monday morning he will get to work and do everything he can to win the next game. Nix will set the tone for the next generation of Duck quarterbacks. He will set the bar for Lanning's Ducks at the QB position. I believe that bar will be set high. Win or lose, Nix has 100% support from me. Dudes a warrior. Favre on Bo!

Great article, apology accepted.

It's funny, the more I think about that loss to UGA the more I view it as a win for Oregon. Everything the Duck will be in the future under Lanning, will be built from that loss in Atlanta. Lanning's ability to regroup and lead this team to the level of play they have shown the past 2 weeks is amazing. That happened because of Atlanta. Yea, that loss is supper important. If Lanning can win it all someday, that loss, imo, will have played a major role

O line play was the bright spot in Atlanta. I thought they had some chops and played Dawgs front seven tough. Ducks put up more rushing yards than UGA us used to surrendering. UGA didn't record a single sack. Ducks line hasn't given up a sack all year.

Like you said, the level of play has dramatically increased week to week. The margins aren't subtle, huge jumps every week. It's not just the players getting better in the system, it's the coaching staff getting better implementing the system, teaching the players how everything fits from position group to position group Ducks are becoming a very good football team. The beat down from the Dawgs just might be the most valuable and productive game Ducks have played.

In another post I mentioned a few plays Sewell did a good job in pass coverage. He took his assignment out of the play. Teams scheme away from Sewell as they did KT last year. It is a show of ultimate respect. Ducks have two defenders in Sewell and Gonzo that teams scheme around. Taking away huge chunks of field for opposing offenses. With this coaching staff, Ducks will only get better game to game. This could be a special year for sure.

Amazon prime is on how many phones, tablets and laptops around the world? I watch college football on my 75" Samsung Qled. Also has Pime. I love this option. The networks could care less about Pac, ACC or Big12. Why should we care about them. I say flip the dominance of espn and fox money dictating college football. Prime has huge power eclipsing every network out there. At the end of the day it's still about the money, I get it. But the networks are flexing hard. Would love to see others flex back

Bo Nix shows toughness, lifts Ducks over No. 12 Cougars 247SPORTS.COM Bo Nix shows toughness, lifts Ducks over No. 12 Cougars Nix played his best game of the year against #12. Possibly the best game of his career. I didn't watch a lot of AU games so I am not sure. Bo's command of the team was evident. The offense ran smoothly under his leadership. Everyone feed of Bo's confidence. Hopefully this level of play continues for Nix. Completing over 70% of his passes the past 2 games. Making good decisions with the ball in his hands. Seeing the defenses and adjusting to the read. Nix was throwing blocks, who doesnt love that? Every QB, whether pro, college or high-school, can be coached up. Hopefully Bo can become a rock on this Oregon offense. Hopefully Dilly is exactly what Bo needed to change the narrative of who Bo is as a QB. I know everyone on OBDF will be watching. I am rooting for him, mostly because I would love to see him shut down the doubters. Play like last Saturday will win the love and respect from Duck nation.

For whatever reason, Oregon makes coaches look good. Kelly, Taggart and Mariø all got big paydays after leaving Oregon. Seems that Oregon is the strength of these coaches not these coaches being the strength of Oregon. Two of these three failed outside of Eugene. The third is just starting that process. Oregon makes coaches great not the other way around. If Lanning can level up from these three, Oregon might reach the top of the mountain. And Win!

Defer... against BYU, Oregon shut their first drive down, got the ball and scored. The tone was set from that point on. BYU was never able to flip the script and Oregon had their way all game. TT possessions were an outlier I don't really count.
