Anyone know where to find Lanning’s post game conference? Curious what he has to say.

I think that part of the reason we were beaten so soundly, besides the obvious missed tackles and talent gap, was that the Georgia offense was preparing against different sets that Dan Lanning had in his arsenal that Kirby Smart was aware of. Not only that, but they practiced that offense against players that were just as good OR better than many of ours.

Still, as was previously stated, our tackling issues from last year seem to have carried over. That's on Lanning and Tosh Lupoi to get that figured out asap or we may lose to BYU, as well.

I had some exceptional brats today, and my son is really enjoying yelling "GO DUCKS!" He's still cheering while playing with his wooden trains.

So, there's that. I'll take what I can get right now.

Also, Tye Thompson must be really, really bad to not even get garbage time minutes today. Either that or our backup offense is direct snapping to RBs.

I still, to this day refuse to believe that. I am no coach, nor have ever played football, but I have seen the video. The kid was a total stud in high school. I refuse to believe he is totally so terrible that when the score is 49-3, he cannot even be trusted to play 5 minutes of football.

You should rewatch Thompson's HS video. He locks onto a WR before the snap and never goes through progressions. And that's in highlight video where he has control over which plays he shows. What do the bad plays look like?

Are you sure that was Thompson’s highlights and not Nix’s?

It is all about player development, QB development, we didn’t get it with Willie or Mario…….. Lanning? If we are down by 40 in the fourth I wouldn’t care if the number two and three each had three pics they are getting game experience.

Totally agree, I would have agreed with most of what he said during the presser until he was asked about putting Thompson in during the 4th qtr, and he said…”we wanted to get our offense an opportunity to get a drive and get some rhythm”. That really cannot be the reason why you left Nix in, really? The offense had 3 previous quarters to have drives and get in a rhythm…after that it is time to give some players time to play in big game situations. Nix had gotten enough game time experience, and it was not working, you need to give the younger players and opportunity to have that experience also, that is how they develop and get skill at that level.

Leaving Nix in gave me flashbacks of leaving Brown in even when he was drowning.

Yeah, what would it have hurt? This seemed a MC maneuver. Nix has had plenty of time and reps, a couple series wouldn’t hurt. Nix spread the ball out pretty well, but we will never know if he was looking at the correct targets. If Nix gets hurt, God forbid, but gotta give some PT to others. Maybe thinking EWU may be that chance.

All the champions of the past decade have rosters filled with 5 star and 4 star recruits. That's where we need to get to in order to compete for championships. With the NIL now in full go, I'd say for UP to open his checkbook and go wild, while the NIL rules are still vague and somewhat non-restrictive.

Clemson and Georgia didn't have perennial championship contending teams until they had a few consecutive top 5 recruiting classes. As long as Lanning can continue to recruit at an elite level and not mess up like the previous USC coaches (how i miss them) did with elite talents, we will be alright.

If Oregon coaches had Georgia players and Georgia coaches had Oregon players today, do you think we'd be blasting how bad Lanning and Kenny prepared and how good kirby called and schemed for this game? Don't stress too much unless we are still in this position or worst after a few years...

[QuackininBama]

At least Utah lost as well so we won't fall to far behind.

I see no positives whatsoever. They have top five classes, and Oregon has top ten classes, so that means it is OK to lose by 46? Oregon's defense is just about all 4-5 stars, and they let Georgia score TDs on every possession that mattered? A defense with Sewell, Flowe, Dorlus, Gonzalez, Bennett et al, and they can't force a punt?

This reminded me of some of the CK era games, where Oregon would wax teams by 40-50 points, and the opposing coaches got fired shortly thereafter.

This is a great way to put it, the defense showed no life. I know it’s Georgia, so then having success wouldn’t be too big of a disappointment, but even in the 3rd quarter when they had backups in and were basically practicing and moving the ball with ease. It wasn’t like Georgia was constantly making plays, they would run it on 3rd and 5 with no indication they were doing anything else and Oregon couldn’t stop them, or they’d throw it over the middle to someone wide open and completely uncovered with the Oregon secondary standing with their arms up in confusion. Yesterday’s defense looked like the Don Pillows special when players had no idea how to tackle or be in position, I’m very concerned about this season and Tosh as a DC. Hope I’m wrong, but we saw 0 life from the Oregon defense yesterday. With awful defense and awful QB play we may be in for a very long season.
