Fair enough. The feel started before the first snap. The camera was on Bo Nix and you could see fear and doubt on his face. He knew and that carried over to his teammates.

2nd q, I think Oregon was trailing 21-3 or 21 --0. Oregon was having success moving into UGA territory and the redzone. Bo threw that 2nd pick and thats when I started rooting for Ducks to get it inside 17.5. Then 28-3 and I knew, just like everyone else. Defensively? It was early, 2 UGA score.

That was good. Really enjoyed it. Thanks.

I don't think it is as simple as just having better players, however true it might be. Oregon players are in a position of unlearning Mario and learning Lanning. Doing so and being competitive against the defending champs is a big ask in 8 short months. Trying to use a similar defensive scheme in first game against an opponent that has been perfecting it for 6 years is tough. Unfortunately Oregon had to go up against the master and innovator of our new scheme game one. Yikes!

I disagree with the premise of this article. I disagree with likening this game to a payout game. And I wholeheartedly disagree that Oregons journey the past couple decades wasn't worth it. Offensively Oregon made plays, moved the ball to Georgia's side of the field several times. Got into the redzone several times. Just couldn't get into the endzone. Scoring touchdowns is hard against the Dawgs. They gave up less than 1 in 4 in the redzone last year. Georgia looked mid season form and should be applauded for it. This was Lanning's 1 game ever as a head coach, not his ninth season. I am going to cut him some slack. I believe he is the right guy. The defense has me concerned. The secondary was lit up, linebackers were non existent, and tackling was atrocious. Could have a lot to do with UGA scheme and talent. I suspect not entirely, got to fix that coach. If we are comparing this game to the 85 Neb game, the stats show a different story. Yea, it wasn't a good look for Oregon. But there were some good moments offensively. They did some things right. Georgia just might be what we saw Saturday, arguably the best team in college football. Perhaps the best in history, we will know more in late November. ORE NEB First downs 7 29 Rushes-yards 27-73 77-444 Passing yards 33 145 Comp-Att-Int 7-28-4 9-14-0 Total offense 55-106 91-589 Return yards 55 77 Sacks by 1-2 2-12 Punts 9-43 4-40 Fumbles-lost 4-2 3-0 Penalties-yards 9-75 8-68 Time of possession 18:51 41:09

Nice find, absolutely right it seems. Lanning better secure Dante Moore. Looks like we have no backup to lean on. Hopefully that changes with Ty or Butters by the end of the year.

Same thought I have. How bare is the cupboard?

It stays 🤣

Huge concern of mine also. Before first play of the game Nix looked nervous. Infectious, the whole team played like it. Not a good look. But like I said, Georgia was a machine. They are going to make a lot of teams look bad.

I am going to pump the brakes on the all-in sky is falling. I think the Dawgs are going to show most teams, what they dished to the Ducks will not be an anomaly. B2B I also believe Lanning will show the UGA game was an anomaly. All summer the idea of giving Lanning some time was discussed frequently on OBDF. Nothing changes.

If TT and Butters are not ready to play after 2 and 3 years? They will never be ready. Hard to believe that a high 4*/5* aren't ready to play. Almost unbelievable. What have they been doing the last couple years, playing Pong? Two head coaches have refused to play them. Speaks volumes. After yesterday, doesn't seem Mariø left the cupboard full at all. 11 more games. We will see.

How old is Lanning? It's his first game as a HC. Plays the Defending champs right out of the gate. Dawgs were in late season form. That first pick was as good of D as I have ever seen. Spectacular play. Dawgs are going B2B. This is a long season. I think Lanning is the right guy. Give him some time. A lot of people think highly of Dan Lanning. Smart and Sabin are two of them.

This loss was a team effort. Everyone participated in the beating they took. Top down.

Hear ye, hear ye. Desert Duck is banned from saturday morning pizza and wings. By order of...

BYU game sure looks daunting. I tackled better in the 7th grade. Yea, next couple days will be interesting.

I am more interested in how this team responds. How this coaching staff responds. This is where you pay your dues. See what kind of grit Lanning is made of. Ducks got curb stomped badly, not a good look. Dawgs are either WOW, or Oregon has some serious problems. I am rooting for the Dawgs on this point. In a couple days, it wouldn't surprise me if Kirby and Lanning have a extended chat. Smart wants Lanning to succeed. I think Oregon is going to be ok. That's a brutal first game. Short memory is in order. Move on coach.

Georgia scores here and put in TT. Concerning how the D is showing. 5 pos 5 td. Horrible

I will be rooting for Georgia to go undefeated, B2B titles. And Oregon wins 10 plus bowl game.

Caw-Caw

Oregon will be fine. This game they came out lost and scared. It first game against the defending champs. Everything is new for Oregon. Time mends all wounds. See how lanning handles second half will be more revealing than how the first half played out.

See what Oregon can do with adjustments. Win the second half and get inside the spread. Super hopeful I know. Oregon came out scared and soft. Lanning did not have his team prepared at all.

Offense is better than defense so far

Wasn't expecting Oregon to come out scared. Not a good look.

He catches that ball and its a touchdown. Nice touch by Nix in a tight window.

Video is not showing up for me. If it's from Gameday, than yes, very well done by espn. Make even the toughest of men choke a bit.
