Only note I'd add on here, Cal was holding a UW team in check that isn't the same team on the road, their last road win coming on 10/30/2021 vs. Stanford

UCLA, Cuse and Ole Miss
Oh and Miami falls by 24

I think this year now takes on a renewed urgency. The coaching staff, mostly young, has proven to be excellent in every area: recruiting, game day prep, in game adjustments, improvement during the season. Lanning doesn't have an obvious dream school to return to and I think he will stay until he is sure that he can't win a national title or can win one sooner someplace else. The rest of this staff is still climbing the coaching ladder and will be targeted annually. Lanning has done well with the initial staff. He will be challenged to continue to find the same quality of replacements when the time comes (hopefully not this year).

Next year we lose at least 3, probably 4, offensive linemen and Nix. If Dillingham gets a head coaching job, we will have a new quarterback, new line, and new coordinator! I expect the defense to improve each year, but right now it is the offense that separates us from the pac(k). Recruiting will be even better, but that won't immediately produce a championship. This is the best chance for the next two or three years to get to the playoffs and win a national championship.

LSU 4-star CB Commit Daylen Austin was on in Eugene for a visit to Autzen earlier this month as he continues to assess all his options at this stage of the process. He'll be in Baton Rouge this weekend for his official visit with the Tigers and his commitment to that program remains in place, but Oregon has continued to push in the hopes of getting him to flip to the Ducks by the time he's ready to sign his NLI. Austin has built some strong relationships with the coaching staff at Oregon led by his relationships with Demetrice Martin and Tosh Lupoi. The Ducks now also have his former DB coach at Long Beach Poly, Rashad Wadood, on staff as the team's director of community engagement.

Austin credits Wadood for a lot of his growth and development as a high-level player over the last couple years. The Rivals250 prospect is keeping his ears open to schools that want to continue recruiting him, and Oregon is among that group. He says USC, Miami, Michigan State and Louisville are the other schools staying in touch this fall.

His connection with the staff at Oregon is clear, and he has a lot of appreciation for what the Ducks bring to the table.

"Going up there it's like family to me. They've been talking to me for a minute. I've built a good relationship with most of them up there. So, it just felt like a little family trip just seeing old friends or whatever you wanna call it."

Austin says right now his plan is to hold off on signing an NLI until February giving Oregon more time to continue pursuing him as a member of its 2023 class.

The high school football world is Dante Dowdell's and everyone else is just living in it. The Oregon running back commit has been stellar this season, and he turned in another outstanding performance last week in another win for Picayune HS out in Mississippi. He rushed for over 220 yards for the third consecutive week and also had his second 98-yard rushing touchdown of the year in that game. His big night was just one of many for future Ducks last week, and here's a roundup of all their performances last week heading into Friday night.

Anyone here what Chip had to say post-game ?

That's the takeaway from our Gabriel Marvin after seeing how the Ducks creatively and aggressively attacked the Bruins today:

Cal’s starting CB is from East Palo Alto and played at Menlo Atherton HS.
This could be fun!

Jacob has more on the win ...

It's official -- Oregon is an offensive juggernaut again

🏈What’s your prediction for the final score?

What do you think the biggest difference maker will be for the victor?

🦆Go Ducks!!!

Story from Gabriel:

Here's the first of our postgame coverage as Mitchell Forde brings you five of the biggest takeaways from Saturday at Autzen Stadium.

Here is Jacob's recap of today's game as Oregon earned a signature win for Dan Lanning by taking down the ninth-ranked Bruins at Autzen.

Watched a good UNC v Dook game last weekend, and Dook is pretty good, but sheesh.. Man, did we win out on that deal or what? Almost like "loosing" Willie T.

Scott, Brandon, A.J and myself trade thoughts, perspective and predictions on the matchup, which team has the QB advantage, what the blueprint is for a Ducks win and how we rated the start of the Dan Lanning Era on a 1-10 scale.

This was fun to put together, hope you all check it out!

Mitchell Forde spent the morning talking to fans and taking in the College GameDay experience, and he wrote an awesome feature story for us. Fun read!

Come on over!
you can get back to Eugene for the kickoff in a little over an hour by private jet. Then catch a limousine to Autzen that is waiting for you at Mahlon Sweet!

but if you can’t make it then I’d love to have you come to my house via the DSA
game day thread!

Let’s go 🦆s
