Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Dan Lanning so far

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.

    You should be able to name your score vs UW

    Offensively for sure. Defense is another story. UW will be able to score pretty much at will.

    The guy responsible for making sure the kegs were taken care of at UGA was obviously paying attention at his multiple stops. And Kenny D. may not have made a single offensive call at any of his stops but he too was obviously paying attention. Tosh, the jury is still out but improvement has been made.

    It’s nice to have coaches that grew up playing madden/ncaa and actually understand clock management.



    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

    I'm withholding judgement until we actually play someone. Stanford, Arizona and WSU aren't exactly murders row. That said, Irving is a very impressive back.

    Go ahead and get all the screenshots you need but I think Oregons defense is secretly pretty decent.

    Theory to be tested next Saturday.

    If the UCLA Oregon battle of the unbeatens with the return of Chip was in the south it would be the highest rated game of the week rather easily. I know I'm more interested in it than whoever my DAWGS are playing

    Beating Utah gives UCLA the far more impressive resume. Oregon got blown out in it's only big game. I'm willing to buy into the narrative about a 1st year coach playing his first game, on the road, against a far superior team. If they beat UCLA comfortably I'm on the Lanning bandwagon.

    I agree. Beating UW turned out to be no big deal for the Bruins

    Being physical enough to beat Utah was impressive
