Dan Lanning so far
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.DerekJohnson said:You should be able to name your score vs UW

Bucky Irving >> Becky London

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.greenblood said:The defense still needs work. However, the offense looks as good as I’ve ever seen it.

Go ahead and get all the screenshots you need but I think Oregons defense is secretly pretty decent.greenblood said:The defense still needs work. However, the offense looks as good as I’ve ever seen it.

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.RaceBannon said: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 agree. Beating UW turned out to be no big deal for the Bruins
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. -
They certainly got the transfer of the off-season in Gonzalez. That kid can play. How TF do players like that wind up at places like Colorado?MikeSeaver said:

I don't think Chip ever beat Harbaugh at Stanford when "they really had it going on," Lost to them in 2009, beat them at Autzen in 2010 and beat them down at the farm in 2011 but Harbaugh was gone by then.
Sample size is far too small to compare what's going on now to Chip. -
Isn’t 2010 the answer?SFGbob said:I don't think Chip ever beat Harbaugh at Stanford when "they really had it going on," Lost to them in 2009, beat them at Autzen in 2010
In 2010 Standford when 12-1 with the only loss to Oregon. They finished ranked #4 and beat VaTech in the Orange Bowl. -
2010 game wasn't down on the Farm. It was in Eugene.
-
In 2011, #6 Oregon handed undefeated #3 Stanford their first loss on the season in a 53-30 drubbing at Stanford Stadium and shut the Cardinal out of the BCS Championship Game once again.
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.

This win and the 65-38 beat down, ripping the hearts of Beaver fans in Reeser are two of the most memorable road wins in my book.creepycoug said:In 2011, #6 Oregon handed undefeated #3 Stanford their first loss on the season in a 53-30 drubbing at Stanford Stadium and shut the Cardinal out of the BCS Championship Game once again.

Darron Thomas was the perfect chip QB. Oregon beat the Andy Luck led Trees two of the 3 times they played. Luck won his freshman year down at the Farm when Oregon couldn't stop Toby Gerhart.creepycoug said:In 2011, #6 Oregon handed undefeated #3 Stanford their first loss on the season in a 53-30 drubbing at Stanford Stadium and shut the Cardinal out of the BCS Championship Game once again.

All time favorite Chip era Oregon Conference games.
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. -
The 2007 road game at Michigan when he was OC, was pretty fucking cool too.SFGbob said:All time favorite Chip era Oregon Conference games.

Yeah, if you were listing all games and not just Conference games that would definitely make the list. Worst conference loss has to be the home loss to Stanford in 2012. Kept us out of the NC game where we would have played Notre Dame and would have destroyed them.greenblood said:

2009 Arizona is an Oregon all timer for me, with or without CK. Loco game.
The game at Tennessee, although they were pretty shit, was a favorite of mine. Came out after the weather delay and blew them the fuck outta the water from every angle. Kick returns, pick 6, ran all over them.
Underrated game was the 63-0 win over UCLA on a Thursday night. -
Our crew adores DT5. Probably still my favorite Ducks QB.creepycoug said:In 2011, #6 Oregon handed undefeated #3 Stanford their first loss on the season in a 53-30 drubbing at Stanford Stadium and shut the Cardinal out of the BCS Championship Game once again.

My favorite was Mario deciding not to take a knee versus Furd at home. CJV fumbles and the rest is history.

You gotta add the road win at Buck. Anybody who goes in there and beats them at their own game will hold that one up as an all-timer. Beating Buck at Buck with a running game and a retard at QB is a memorable accomplishment for pretty much any program.SFGbob said:All time favorite Chip era Oregon Conference games.
