#13 Oregon @ Texas Tech (Sept. 9, Sat 4 PM FOX)

[UOducksTK1]

I'd consider road games last year at Washington State and Oregon State comparable to a road game at Texas Tech.

44-41 and 34-38. Not 3 TD wins like you probably hoped then.

I wouldn’t. Both those teams would have beat Wyoming by 28

IDK this seemed a lot like last year's Washington State game to me.

Just listened to QB11’s instant reaction podcast, can’t wait to hear his full review of the game.

Quick takeaways! DLine/pass rush is really good and despite what it seemed coverage is good. There were some dumb coverage busts and penalties but overall it was good and will improve. Apparently on Tech’s TD pass in the 3rd quarter to go up 9 there was a blatant offensive PI the refs missed. LB’s are awful though once again and are a huge liability. QB11 seems to think the issue with the coaching staff isn’t the defensive scheme but rather how they use defensive players, they continually misused LB’s. They think maybe they over-rotated guys to keep the starters fresh for the 4th quarter with the heat but overall they need to tighten the defensive rotation. They mentioned there are guys that have been here 4 or 5 years that simply shouldn’t see the field, they mentioned Funa as one of those players a couple of times. Jacobs should help tremendously once he’s healthy but overall it sounds like the coaches did not do do enough in the offseason to fix the glaring LB issue so we’ll have another season of the LB’s being a huge liability.

As for the offense Nix was too jumpy and receivers need time to gel. They sung the praises of Conerly and Cornelius and QB11 said this is the best tackle combo in Oregon history. Guards are an issue, I personally wonder if Jones and/or Harper get replaced soon. They struggled and got beat a lot particulate in run blocking. And overall Stein was too timid with playcalling and didn’t utilize his players well.

A lot to work on and improve quickly and we need Jacobs to be healthy ASAP, if we continue to play like this Ducks will lose to Colorado. Also can’t wait to never have to deal with PAC-12 refs again.

I’m not sure I blame Stein for the O. Last year the offense worked best when nix ran, but he got hurt doing it. I’m betting Lanning has t told him to not run Bo as much. But when push came to shove, we saw Bo start running, and we came back. It opens everything up for us.

Anyone have any thoughts or insight into Burch’s play so far? He’s playing a different role than he did at SC but he hasn’t jumped off the screen like I thought he would. Matayo on the other hand looks like a genuine stud.

Awesome video, especially for anyone who had Merle Haggard on their Oregon Football Bingo card.

Hythloday with a pretty good breakdown….

Takeaway is that a lot of the defensive breakdowns might have been TT going against what was on film

Thanks both GY and 07 for posting this video, one of the best video productions by Oregon I have watched!. Love the field view shots and loved the pick six set up, Slough goes down and Basa comes onto the screen as Merle starts up Silver Wings again, slow mo of Basa while the Oregon Bench goes nuts in the back ground… okay I liked it and it was nice to hear :Lanning in the locker room and Duck football action to Merle.

That vid was fantastic! Thanks for posting.

Beer, water, water bottles, and tortillas were thrown at the players for context.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like in all road games (Or home games for that matter) that I've been too, I can't think of fans throwing stuff at the players bench ever. The worst thing I can remember is fans at an Oregon throwing water bottles and trash at the side of an endzone after a crappy ref call.

[OregonFan4Life]

Arizona 2009 comes to mind after seeing that video when their fans gave one of our cheerleaders a concussion when they were throwing water bottles and other objects at Oregon players and cheerleaders. In that game the Oregon players just walked off the field. Definitely don’t like what those players were doing and I doubt Lanning does either. Wouldn’t be surprised to see at least the ones flipping off the crowd suspended this Sat.

Not a great look, but I'm also just shrugging my shoulders and not getting upset in the least. I'm sure this will blow up and be a stupid distraction. Conversely, I'm positive the student-athletes heard all game long from the TTU student section - which is right behind the away bench - so asking student-athletes not to respond to students is sort of a tall ask. 18-22 year olds aren't known for impulse control.

Me patiently waiting for a highly rated LB recruit to pan out

Maybe Sewell counts but i cant really think of anyone else. The Funa comment is a bit surprising.

More importantly, I think people are putting way too much hope in Jacobs. Like Hill/Bassa, he's not your traditional ILB.

Here's a direct quote from hythloday's film review in the summer.

"From watching his time at Iowa, I think the role in Oregon’s defense that Jacobs’ existing tape and body type most closely match is the STAR safety position that Jamal Hill and Bennett Williams played last year. He has the length, footspeed, and predominantly coverage experience to play as a big defensive back over tight ends and inside receivers, with occasional box responsibilities. I have practically zero useable film from 2021 on Jacobs performing the essential job of an inside backer in Oregon’s 2022 defense, which was taking on offensive linemen and running backs in inside run-stopping."

People were hyping up Devon Jackson over the summer but he's largely been MIA

True, forgot about this one. Tuscon and Lubbock fit the bill though.
