For sure, I really hope we don't see another game of the defense stacking the box and reading all those screens. Good to see you around radar.
Thanks!!---We need some down field passing to go with the run game. Also bring some of the backs to protect the QB dont just let them fake to the edges, give Dante some time to find a receiver.

the question my friends & I have been asking since Indiana . . . does a 10-2 Oregon team make the playoff? depends on who the other bubble teams are, and how strong is the impulse to put six SEC teams in the playoff. we're watching games every week that we wouldn't normally care about, rooting for somebody to get loss #2 or loss #3.
Ducks will be favored in each of the remaining games. but there must be a sportsbook somewhere making odds on Oregon going 4-for-4. I'd bet it's less than 50 percent.
If SC or UW wins out (both have easy skeds) and beats us H2H, then that team will jump us for third-place in the B1G behind tOSU and Indy, and a likely playoff berth. and there won't be a spot for the 4th-place B1G team.
so let's take care of business, starting Sat. get the run game going, even if it takes two TEs and a heavy package. don't keep putting Dante in 2nd & 8 or 3rd & 12. our D will keep us in the game, and our special teams can make the difference in a tactical, field-position game (Iowa has a monster kick-returner). get TDs when we get in the red zone.
Go Ducks

The last 4 games are Iowa, Minnesota, USC, and Washington. They have a combined record of 24-9. Meanwhile the puppies do have a cakewalk until they play us in Wisconsin, Purdue, and UCLA.
Which game are you most concerned about? Personally, I'm least concerned about Minnesota. Going up to Washington for the last game won't be easy, but I think we can win that one.
I'm not sure if the Ducks will make it in the playoffs if they can't win out without a signature win. It might depend on what other teams do if that scenario arises. If the Ducks can't shore up their offense and drop one of the next games can you see them winning a first round playoff against an Ohio State or having to play Indiana again?

I wouldn't have guessed this at the beginning of the season. Being a former starter and I'll I figured he'd beat out freshman at least to start the season. It really speaks to the talent of recent recruits and to Dan Lanning being true to his word that the best player will play regardless of age, experience, star ranking, etc...
I wish him luck on his new team, but I wish players would finish out the season before transferring. You never know what injuries could pop up or you earning more reps from practice performance.
