How Oregon is addressing penalties dynamic
If you believe in the time honored sports phrase that "you play like you practice" then what Lanning is doing should help.
I am glad he appears to be confronting the issue directly vs coaching around it.

That does sound good, but I really feel Lanning has addressed every issue as they happen Tackling has improved, the transition from shotgun to under center has been seamless: I really feel Ducks got a good one in Coach Lanning and also his staff. Those ineligable downfield are a point of emphasis this year, and I'm seeing a lot of teams getting called for that. The false starts are inexcusable, and kids just need to get themselves under control concerning the unsportsmanlike penalties. Gonna need to play mistake free in the desert: always a tough place to win.

1) So far so good...exceeded my expectations but the litmus test is when the team is all his. Some coaches do well with players they INHERIT and not so good when a team is all their RECRUITS i.e. see Mario Cristobal winning the Rose Bowl in year 2 and then last season.
And if Oregon does well expect assistant coaches to be poached.
I used to believe every head coach deserved 4-years to establish "their" team but I now think the Transfer Portal has shortened that to 3-years.
Nobody is "waiting" for a coach to build a program these days... Jonathan Smith may be one of the last of that era!
2) Oregon has not won in the desert since 2011!
