no, the 4th/5th string walk on qb isn’t going to take over. Agree with most of the rest, though.

Yeah, I've not been overly impressed with Stein. But I've seen Moore dancing around in the pocket early and losing composure and shitting the bed. So those are on him.
With the O line, TEs, WRs and RBs Oregon has their offense should hang 50+ on Wisconsin. I'll acknowledge that Badger came to play and that Fickle probably gave them one hell of a speech … and that one player, #8 I believe, was everywhere.
But 21 points to that team is ridicruous, especially considering how many chances they had because Wiscy offense is high school level bad.

Tell ya what - he looked better than Moore. Novostad or whatever his name is must either suck bad or is in Lanning's dog house for some reason.
Thomas played like he wasn't afraid. The contrast to Moore was noticeable. -
Novosad is a weird situation—sounds like he is emergency qb only at this point because he’s transferring out after the season (moga, too). If Moore was out at Iowa, he’d start. Up 14-0 against fickell’s feckless (fecklessfickell would be a great name for the 5 reasons post on the badger site) offense, the game was over and they just needed to run the clock out so they threw on the walk on.
I agree with you on Moore, though I think it’s mostly inexperience more than anything and not taking the easy yards when given to him. Oregon’s tackles are also pretty poor in pass protect. Will be interesting to see if they make a shuffle on the right side of the line over the bye (Harkey to rg, Wilson to RT) to improve that side.

one of my questions about Moore was the whole taking a year off thing. That just felt weird for a guy to do in 2024. I assume QBs and players want to be the man at all times, breathe fire, and not spend 12 months just practicing. The last QB I can remember who sat a year like that was Eason.

Makes you wonder if guys like that like being a star more than they like actually playing. There are people like that. They're happy with status and potential but less enthusiastic about proving it.
IDK. Seems soft. The slow mo of the helmet being pulled down and hitting his nose didn't seem that bad. And then he sits out a significant portion of a game that wasn't a blow out.

Lanning isn't going anywhere if it's about money (obviously, being at Phil U).
It's literally just about if someone wants him and he actually wants to go for other reasons (such as being in SEC).
I'm not really even convinced he'd be good/great anywhere else. It's really hard to evaluate coaches at Phil U, as that specific situation provides so many unique advantages.

To me the big question with Lanning or any Oregon coach who may or may not leave is how they like having Uncle Phil as the boss. Hard to read since there's no visibility on it but I assume there's a chance it's a better setup than whatever clusterfuck we just saw with some cajun ass governor shitting on Woodmert in Louisiana and 34 former plantation owners, Cadillac dealership kingpin boosters being your boss.
I'd say the same with living in Eugene. It's got cons, but is it better than living in a similar town in the south where people will hate you if you lose 1-2 games a year?

i always knew that deep down lanning wanted to wear purple and gold, just didnt realize it would be cajun flavored.
