The defense still needs work. However, the offense looks as good as I’ve ever seen it.
Troy Franklin looks like the best WR Oregon has had in almost a decade.
Bucky Irving and Whittington run hard and never seem to lose yards.
Great TE room
The offensive line is stout. Giving up one sack for about a half a yard all season.
I love how they spread the field sideline to sideline, and aren’t afraid to go vertical.
I’m glad Flowe got moved to the second unit on defense. He has a ton of physical talent, but plays with no disciplined. Any kind of misdirection or play fake fools Flowe every time.
As of right now, I can’t say Lanning is a home run, but he’s at least a single and maybe a stretched double. Ucla will determine if he’s a stand up double.

It’s even more glaring after experiencing 4 years with the worst game manager in cfb.
Also nice to see improvement week to week
The rest? LIPO
Theory to be tested next Saturday.

Being physical enough to beat Utah was impressive
1. Not quite to Chip levels yet. Peak Chip could run up a score on anybody. Peak Chip packed Harbaugh's shit down on the farm when they really had it going on. That offense often appeared like they were playing with an extra guy. Like Bob said, let's see them after UCLA, and I'd add Ute to that. If they can run up numbers on them, then you know you have an offense.
2. I still say running off Carrington was one of the dumbest things I've seen a coach do. He was really good, but Franklin is close. Also, is Kris Hutson retarded? He's always getting chewed out for something really dumb.
3. Bucky's good and Oregon seems to have a deep bench at RB.
4. Agreed. Never understood why Cristobal and Co. didn't use the TEs more. Same thing at Miami, and he has two really good ones down there, and he uses them mostly when he's in trouble (which is often now) and it's too late.
5. This little bit of credit should go to the coach you all love to hate now. More than anything, Mario left you an O line. Good luck next year.
6. Agreed. The deep game is developing for the Ducks.
7. Flowe seems like a hyper-active kid who is just a little too juiced up (figuratively and, perhaps, literally). He reminds me of a Hurricane linebacker from years ago ... Rohan Marley (yes, Bob's son). Not tall or big but wickedly fast and was full speed 100% of the time. He just threw himself at and into whatever at full tilt. There wasn't much planning with that guy and he was somewhat of a mindless heat-seeking missile, but I'll say he was pretty effective at the college level.
Sample size is far too small to compare what's going on now to Chip.
In 2010 Standford when 12-1 with the only loss to Oregon. They finished ranked #4 and beat VaTech in the Orange Bowl.
Forgot that Harbaugh had left after 2010. But that was essentially Shaw's 2 - loss team version of Larry Coker winning the national championship with Butch Davis' 2001 Hurricanes. So, close enough in my book, but error noted. A game a lot of people thought would result in Oregon getting their asses handed to them by intellectual brutality.
Darron Thomas was great in that game and, IMO, a very underrated Oregon QB of the past.
In no particular order: At Arizona with MaStoley at QB overtime win. 2009 Cal game. 2009 USC Halloween game in Autzen. 2010 and 2011 Standford games. 2008 Beav game. Should have put 70 on them.
