FishDuck Classic: Oregon’s Most Important Offensive Play

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

It may be summer, but that only brings us that much closer to fall, and the return of Duck football.  Each Saturday, the FishDuck Classic will help familiarize readers with some our most important analyses.  Today: Oregon’s Most Important Offensive Play.

This article originally ran on August 28, 2012.  

Has Oregon’s emphasis on offense shifted for 2012, now that Mariota has been named the starter? Less running and more passing perhaps this year? Or with a new young QB-will we revert to the basics of the Oregon offense? They are interesting questions, and with the season about to start…. it makes sense to look at what might be THE most important play in the Oregon offense due to the unique talents of one player. I’m sticking my neck out on this one…but I’ve done that for a year already as a non-professional with hundreds of coaches looking over my shoulder. I’m curious as to what YOU think is the most important play and I think you’ll enjoy the game footage I use to support my conclusion. So many candidates!

For the Exciting 2024 Football Season….

We will be publishing between four and six articles per week during the football season, as we skip Saturdays with all the distraction of GameDay for us. Check through the week, and in particular check for Analysis articles on most Fridays.

The Our Beloved Ducks Forum (OBD) is where we we discuss the article above and many more topics, as it is so much easier in a message board format over there.  At the free OBD forum we will be posting Oregon Sports article links, the daily Press Releases from the Athletic Department and the news coming out every day.

Our 33 rules at the free OBD Forum can be summarized to this: 1) be polite and respectful, 2) do not tell anyone what to think, feel or write, and 3) no reference of any kind to politics. Easy-peasy!

OBD Forum members….we got your back.  No Trolls Allowed!
