Let’s just win tonight.

Do the little stuff right tonight, keep it clean and disciplined upfront on the OL, and try to build on the lessons learned from weeks 1-6.

Before we worry about any odds, we have to put ourselves in a position to have a chance to do something good later. That involves handling basic 3-4 man fronts, simulated pressures, and making good reads/adjustments.

We do that, we can play with anybody.

Zero expectations, just try to go 1-0.

We'll find out tomorrow morning, cuz I'm not staying up for this. Go Ducks anyway!

(In Nebraska this game wraps up about the time farmers are rolling out of bed to go work their fields. What wacky stuff we do when we don't respect geography. These conferences are a s*** show).

Thankfully I’m a westcoast Oregon fan, but I totally hear you.

Yeah. No big deal.

Look, we obviously have serious issues.

However, we’ve played more ranked teams than anyone in the country, won two and lost two. It’s not as bad as they make it seem. Our defense is way above average. The offense needs to show a pulse. There’s plenty of time left in the season to improve.

Am I convinced we will? No, but college football is notorious for people drawing conclusions too early.

Go ducks

we don't look solid which is the worst thing to date. They jut fail the eye test on preparation. The actual results aren't bad though and I think we're still alive for the CFP.

Most sensible comment I've read on reddit in a while

I don't get the hope of figuring it out. Our QB coach and off coordinator are absolute ass

u/Skates8515 3h ago

Correcto. Yeah, other teams are losing but like… we suck.

u/a_simple_ducky 3h ago

Yeah we have ACTUAL huge problems. We haven't looked good in a meaningful game yet

What an insane season of CFB this has been

u/Systemic_Chaos 3h ago

All I know is this season is starting to look a lot like 2007. And with a larger playoff field, we just need to take care of business and be one of those last 12 teams; then hope things go our way from there.

Impossible. Not happening. 0% chance.

Omg come on

u/Skates8515 3h ago

😂 things are not falling into place for us. They are for teams like Oklahoma state and UCLA.

u/cosyg 3h ago

Not that I expect anything to come of this season but it’s actually not in Oregon’s favor for there to be so much chaos in the upper ranks of the top 25. If there are a whole bunch of 2-3 loss teams vying for playoff spots, teams like Ohio St, Bama, Texas, etc., are going to get in before Oregon does.

Just win every week going out and we'll see where things slide

u/Upset-Beach4054 3h ago

We might have the worst offense in the big 10

u/ReasonableFail5011 3h ago

Nobody that plays in a conference seems like they will get out of this season unscathed. Let’s hope our boys can figure it out and hope we get Dante back in a few weeks!

u/Goose-the-moose 3h ago

Miami probably, they have a charmin soft schedule

u/mccainjames11 1h ago

They (and Mario) always lose at least one game to an unranked team that they’re supposed to beat

u/NJRHTI 3h ago

There’s way too much time left in the season to be worried about what other teams are doing

u/Mshox8 1h ago

ESPN FPI has Oregon still in the top 10.

If there is any media I trust with CFP implications, then it has to be ESPN. They’re the ones pulling the strings for the CFP, so they’re always 10 steps ahead of everyone else.

Rolling our way? Brother, it's too late for the dice to have any effect on our season. That time has passed, lmao

Thanks for trying but playoffs are out. Maybe pop tart bowl if we’re lucky

u/Thinned 3h ago

That’s the entire problem with the program. Can we win each week at a time? Yes it’s looking better but that doesnt Guarentee shit. Let’s not forget we’re on 3rd string QB behind a DOGSHIT coached oline.
