IMO, it all starts with a running game to open up the pass game. If the offensive line struggles and/or the opposing teams D is pressuring the qb, you need a scrambling qb to offset the o line and get receivers open. We've had qb's that did just that and it worked. Include a few plays with ASjr he could help get a run game going. He's really the only qb we have that can do so. Illinois is starting a frosh qb, but he's dual threat.

Most physically imposing runner. Teammates have compared him to Cam Newton due to his massive frame and ability to escape the pocket and run through defenders. Coach Dan Lanning has noted that Smith offers a entirely "different package" offensively because his feet are a legitimate weapon.

It seems that a qb that can scramble and create would be what wee need. Dante isnt great at scrambling but good enough occasion. He was hurt running the football. Is AS junior even available this year?

They are missing their Quarterback and have new coordinators. Plus on the offensive side they are still very young. Plus, when a team goes through some struggle the fans perspective most always changes.

Did Lanning take an IV after the game?

He beer get back on the field and earn his 5 million and a shot at the pros's.

He'll end up at a mid-major bb school.

No...

Seems like we're reaching now.

If we start slow against the Trojans and get behind 10-14pts, it could be a long night.

Crader was terrible against BSU & OSU. Slower than molasses. Hope he turns the corner against USC.

Nice job!

Im not sure Dante is the type that covets going #1-3 in the draft. Chances are he hooks up with a better team the farther he falls in the draft. Im not sure he would want to even start in his first year.

I would like to see Dylan play some against PSU.

Not sure if the NIL era has passed Dan by, but his supposed area of expertise is slipping, imo.

We will find out against USC in a couple.

I'd like to see the Ducks soften up on all the glamorous PR videos. It's ok periodically. It gets a little old seeing Dan's rah rah motivational speaking. It's been an overkill in my opinion.

Why you have Stewart receiving punt returns is beyond me? Id think since at least three teams form the BIG will make the playoffs get through the season without injuries to key players. Certainly someone else can return punts?

I want to see us get to the qb. Playing a containment strategy is very risky with a 5th year qb.

In the big games OSU & INDY both their qb's were able to move around without a lot of pressure, and find guys. Containment is always risky with top notch qb's. I certainly hope we start to see more sacks and fewer third and long completions for 1st downs.
