$54 million. Things are making sense now
Yeah that’s true, and I’m fully aware if this Penn State team showed up last week ducks blow them out, I just sometimes feel Stein is too timid and hyper focused on “efficiency” rather than utilizing the strengths of this offense. Lots of OC’s would dream of having the personnel Stein has this year.squintsdd wrote: Sat Oct 04, 2025 1:58 pmYou have to remember, it was on the road in a very hostile environment that didn't need much of a reason to get really loud.

Despite how they currently look, they returned almost all their skill position players from last year and have an explosive offense.OregonFan4Life wrote: Sat Oct 04, 2025 1:26 pm Watching UCLA’s offense and their playcalling makes me feel validated in my criticism of Will Stein. I know Penn State is down and unmotivated but I don’t believe Penn State has the athletes to stick with Oregon’s offense but Stein’s obsession of being “efficient” and the short yardage run game with Whittington and Limar seemed to really limit the offense last week. I know the crowd was a factor and the offense made a few mistakes but if the passing game was opened up and if we utilized Hill’s speed more on the edges I don’t see any reason why Oregon could’ve have ended the game by the 4th quarter and put up at least 30 points in regulation. Maybe he will as the season goes on but I do question if Stein’s playcalling/strategy is best for this team and the ceiling this passing offense has.
For those who think that was bad play-calling from Stein in that game there's nothing you can do to change their minds because you can't prove the alternative. Even Ducks vs Them showed how the entire game strategy throughout the week wasn't about trying to land knockout shots with every punch, but 1,000 cuts.squintsdd wrote: Sat Oct 04, 2025 1:58 pm

If they shutout ucla in the second half and end up winning, i wouldn't think a huge dropPhalanx wrote: Sat Oct 04, 2025 2:46 pm Sheesh, what a relief. Thought Oregon was about to lose its only quality win so far. They still might, but two quick TD's is a good way to start the second half for Penn State. Still going way down in the rankings I would expect.
