Many are wondering just what the Oregon Ducks offense may look like under new offensive coordinator, Will Stein. Honestly, probably not all that different than it did under Coach Kenny Dillingham. I believe that Coach Dan Lanning will take a similar approach to Oregon’s offensive system that Coach Urban Meyer took to his. No matter who was coming into the …
Oregon’s new young inexperienced offensive coordinator Will Stein is seen as a rising star in the coaching ranks. Though he has just one year as a co-offensive coordinator and play caller, it was only a matter of time until a Power-5 program gave him a shot. Given his new opportunity, the questions of whether Stein will succeed, and what type …
In yesterday’s article about Oregon’s defense in 2022, I raised some important questions for us to ponder going forward. Yet it is not complete without this new segment looking back at Oregon’s defense late in the season. It is not critical you read yesterday’s analysis prior to this installment, as they are distinctly different reviews. But I do suggest you …
Between long periods of silent reflection, handwringing, bargaining with the football gods and frequent public outbursts in a nightgown and slippers, Oregon Ducks fans are likely spending the weekend unshaven and waiting for the College Football Playoff to announce its top four teams and (yawn) the rest of the bowl games. All joking aside, the Ducks are likely headed to …
By now it’s not news to any of you that Coach Kenny Dillingham has become the new head coach of the Arizona State Sun Devils, making him the youngest HC in the FBS. That is a huge feat, and I wish him good luck in this new chapter of his career. With that said, it’s time to take a look …
The Oregon Ducks have been extremely efficient in short yardage situations this season. That’s partly due to the incredible skill of the running backs, partly due to Bo Nix’s innate ability to execute quarterback sneaks and the rest due to the play designs of Coach Kenny Dillingham. Each week it seems as though the Ducks have a new concept for …
Oregon’s heated interstate rivalry game this Saturday with the Washington Huskies is a nationally televised primetime matchup of two Top 25 teams. The Huskies featuring Michael Penix Jr, and the No. 1 passing game in college football look to validate their season with an upset win over the Ducks. Can the Ducks scheme up a defensive game plan to slow …
Washington’s new coach Kalen DeBoer brings his transfer QB Michael Penix Jr. and the No. 1 passing offense in college football to Eugene to face the Ducks. What is DeBoer scheming up to attack the Ducks Cover-2 passing defense? Does Oregon’s Dan Lanning have some scheme surprises of his own? Can the Ducks slow DeBoer’s air attack down and stay undefeated …
Every week, the Oregon Ducks offense moves up the rankings in total offense; the only week they dropped was during their bye week. The Ducks currently sit as the No. 3 offense in the nation with 526 yards per game. That’s the best yards per game stat line since the 2015 season, and their 42.4 points per game is the …
We’ve taken a good look at the Oregon Ducks run game the last few weeks, but today, we’re going to take a dive into their passing attack. The Ducks offense is averaging roughly 271 yards per game through the air this season, and quarterback Bo Nix is a top-10 passer with a 70% completion rate. The Ducks are a very …
The Fire Zone Blitz is still alive and used at Oregon by Coaches Dan Lanning and Tosh Lupoi when they wish to apply maximum pressure in scenarios with seven yards or more for the opposing offense to attain a first down. Last time we reviewed simulated pressures, where the rush was only with four defenders, but from unpredictable directions. A …
Through the first five games of the season, the Counter has arisen as a favorite of Coach Kenny Dillingham and the Oregon offense. The Ducks are averaging 229 yards on the ground and are the No. 10 rushing offense in the nation. Part of their formula to success has been their ability to efficiently execute a number of different Counter …
