Our 2nd half offense…
I can’t tell who is to blame more, Gabriel or Stein. It needs to be fixed ASAP.
Maybe they should do what you suggested with Terry earlier in the season, immediately call a meeting with Gabriel and Stein and let them know this is unacceptable

3) We probably have forgotten how hard it is to play halfway across the country like that, ducks are still getting used to doing that on a regular basis.
I hope the Ducks at least consider scheduling an east coast cupcake to warm up with each season in the future.
I have no problem with how anyone played, it was probably the best D Line we faced all season, Dillion got pressure a bunch, mostly because of their D line, it is not all on our O line. We are so deep at receivers, that is very nice.
Stay focused, do not look past Maryland……. 9-0! Nice.

No offense, but that’s literally the worst idea ever. Why add extra travel to an already long season? Oregon has sucked in the second half at home and the road this year. Being on the road isn’t the problem.

We, like others are ina new ears of college ball, for many years our longest seasonal travel, other than a bowl game, was a trip to Arizona. We will now travel long distance three of four times a year. We need to be used to it, including coaching and staff knowing the best way to handle things. No offense taken, I always welcome a civil conversation.

Still trying to figure out how giving up an early home game to “solve” a problem that doesn’t exist helps the program. Oregon has been garbage in the second half multiple times at home. It’s not a travel problem.
I was thinking a home and away series, but it is a bit of a moot point, I am under the impression our schedule is booked for years to come. Also all B1G teams have the same new travel problems……. I look forward to Maryland’s thoughts on the Autzen experience after next Saturday.

re not taking a knee, one of the Big 10 title game tiebreakers is "Highest ranking by SportSource Analytics after the regular season." If that service considers MOV, it was a legit play. Otherwise it was poor sportsmanship.
I don't know, 'poor sportsmanship' is a little harsh. They had the ball for like 7 minutes if I recall correctly, and drove all the way down from the shadow of their own endzone. A lot to ask the kids not to punch that in. It was an opportunity to show some deference, but I don't think it is expected. I expect Lanning did it for postseason reasons, but maybe it was a little too SEC of him.
Regarding an update, Lanning mentioned that Harper told him he'd be "fine" postgame.
"He told me in the locker room that he's going to be fine," said Lanning. "We want to make sure we get him assessed and take a look at that. But I don't have an update right now."

Overall solid win. Our pass rush wasn’t its best. And credit Warren, he made some tough 3rd down completions in the 2nd half.
Our 2nd half offense has been an issues for a while but I usually chalked it up to us dominating in the 1st half and taking it easy in the 2nd.
In both games that were close we had great 3rd quarters. The 3rd quarter struggles all come in games that are already over. Michigan and their putrid offense posed no threat.

Oregon scored one offensive touchdown combined in the Idaho, Boise, and Ohio State games. Thankfully they also had a special teams score against Boise. Those were all close games.
This isn’t a “take it easy” with the lead thing. Even if that was the case it hurts the development of our future by not getting younger players reps.

How about Holden today? Dude saved the day with Tez out.
Frankly the way he's rebounded from his ejection says a lot about him and DL. He was completely hyped for Lowe when he scored his first TD as his replacement and then as WR4 off the bench, he was still working hard before Tez went down.
You don't want to have to discipline players for stuff like that, but his response to it is what you want to see from a young player.
Just read the Michigan forum for laughs and giggles, that has to be the most delusional fanbase in the B1G. If you guys think I’m too negative, I seem like a real optimist compared to the Michigan fans on their forum, wow. I also enjoyed that they referred to Oregon as the Oregon Snowflakes.
