2. We employed a more under control pass rush designed to keep Nix in the pocket while still putting pressure on hims. Take away his ability to improvise.

This is what it was. Our goal was to hold the line of scrimmage and keep Bo in front of us, not overpursue. I suspect we will see more disruption at the point of attack in our next few games

I mean it's a very slight difference but it's Edwards>Milton for me. I trust DE to convert that 4th and 1 more.

The Oregon o line has been ranked top 5 in some publications. I'd give them some credit for keeping defenders at bay.

I will contend a young edge rushers will be needed this season. One of MJJ, Madden, Darris Smith will have to step up.

The offense had to become dominant, and it looks like it has. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary. I think Smael Mondon is the most important player on the team this year. If he improves every week and starts to get more involved in each play like Nakobe or Roquan, this team will be there at the end. That ILB position is so critical in this defense. If he starts to lock down the middle, the front should be able to get more pressure. Damn it’s good to be a dawg these days.

1. Stet's a stud and should be in the Heisman running.
2. McConkey's a stud and proves that you can't measure
heart and grit with stars.
3. Starks is going to be a beast and our secondary can
be nasty.
4. Mac and Milton are gonna have fun this season.
Playbook must be pretty thick.
5. Our o-line, if they stay healthy, is gonna be one of
the best in CFB.
6. Our defense can be as effective as last years.
6. The Bo Nix P5 experiment is over.
7. Nolan Smith is a born leader.
8. I like this team chemistry.

I think that's fair, but the dline didnt look great against the run either. They were moving the ball running it early on before Bo went into Bo mode.

I understand the strategy for Bo, but I don't think that excuses the run defense. not trying to shite on them. It's early and they will get better

I thought we sat in base defense alot and played bend dont break. I think when we crank up the exotic stuff we can shut a run gamendown.

Maybe it's just me, but it seemed like Jalen Carter wasn't right. He seemed to take plays off and not pursue the ball. I really thought he'd be a big factor in the game and make a big statement.

Offense is going to be fun to watch. Stetson made some very smart decisions by throwing the ball away instead of forcing a throw. I also like watching Edwards run the ball.

Darnell is a big son of a gun. I would hate to be staring at him when he's running straight at you.

That young defense is going to be fun to watch. I thought the secondary played pretty darn good. Starks will be a first rounder if he stays healthy and keeps working.

Dan Lanning did a great job for a 36 year old that just took over a major program.

Bo Nix...well he's still Bo Nix....and he ain't beating GEORGIA.

No fear of an offensive shootout this year. We’ve got a running back going for 117 yards in the air? Wtf.
Wide receiver with a rushing touchdown. Stetson looked like a world beater yesterday. Darnell throwing a tackler to the ground and then hurdling another one on a 40 yard rumble. I don’t think we even really opened the play book.

We were extremely prepared for oregons offense.
