A few weeks ago, we took a look at one of the rollout passes Coach Will Stein has implemented into the Oregon Ducks offense.

The Oregon Ducks Offense: Pistol Play-Action Rollout
Under new offensive coordinator, Will Stein, the Oregon Ducks will look to utilize the Pistol to a greater degree than they did under Coach Kenny Dillingham.

The Oregon Ducks Offense: Will Stein’s Insert Iso
A lot has been said about how similar Coach Will Stein’s offense is to the one that Coach Kenny Dillingham ran during his time with the Oregon Ducks. Both offenses are pro-style offenses dressed as spread offenses with an extensive RPO game. They both also use an incredible variety of run schemes. Here, we’re going to take a look at …
The Oregon Ducks Offense: Will Stein’s Heavy Veer
Though Coach Will Stein’s scheme is chalk-full of Spread Offense elements, it should not be lost that it is also built around key Pro-Style components. An area where this is on full display is in some of the short-yardage concepts he used with the UTSA Roadrunners. Yes, there is a lot of flash to Coach Stein’s offense, but there’s also …
The Will Stein Oregon Offense: Double Slants/Spot Concept
Throughout the off-season, we’ve taken a look at a handful of run/RPO plays that newly appointed offensive coordinator Will Stein could implement with the Oregon Ducks.

The Oregon Ducks Stein Offense: 2×2 Spread Inside Zone RPO
Since the hiring of Coach Will Stein as the new Oregon Ducks offensive coordinator, it has been pretty well established that he has built a large portion of his offense around RPO concepts.

The Will Stein Oregon Offense: Split Zone Triple Option
A huge part of Coach Will Stein’s offense with the UTSA Roadrunners was the RPO. Every team in college football runs them to some degree, but Coach Stein’s system is built around them.

Now that the 2022 season has come to an end for the Oregon Ducks, we can look forward to the 2023 season, and what Coach Will Stein looks to bring to the offense.

What to Expect from a Will Stein Lead Ducks Offense
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.

Three Additional Candidates to Become the Next Ducks Offensive Coordinator
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 Offense: The Flexbone Triple Option
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 …
The Oregon Ducks Offense: Four Verts
Every week, the Oregon Ducks offense moves up the rankings in total offense; the only week they dropped was during their bye week.
