- We all know what the Oregon Ducks have on the offensive side of the football, but what about defense? Can Dan Lanning's defense be good enough in 2024 to get the Ducks to the top of the college football mountain?

Time to bring back Gang Green and Lanning has a ring for the defense he built at Georgia. Defense will not be a problem going forward.
Gang Green was Aliotti doing the best with a defensive unit that Oregon was able to acquire... They were good against the run... But they're already better now
I'll remain cautiously optimistic
GO DUCKS
We gone wake aloooooottttt of ppl up this season watch what I tell ya 💚💛🦆💪🏾

Yes. Top 10 in scoring defense last season.
The biggest unknown for Oregon this year is game after game of smash mouth football and cold midwest/eastern weather.. Can Oregon stay healthy and will depth provide enough to over come what could happen. It's these UNKNOW's that are my biggest "worry" for Oregon's season.. I believe that the coaching and talent are on the roster. It's going to be an exciting season.. GO DUCKS
Well summarized. The unknowns of the new conference will remain unknowns until we see games played. That said, if third string depth and weather are the biggest questions, then you're in decent shape. Also, BIG10 offenses aren't exactly challenging so it really is just a question of adjusting to style weekly like you said.
While Oregon doesn’t get as cold as Madison or Ann Arbor. Oregon DOES get cold and Snow. And Washington definitely gets snow. A 2 years ago, Oregon went to Boulder on a VERY cold and windy game @ Colorado. I was at that game and needed 2 layers to remain somewhat warm. Oregon won 45-10 without missing a beat.

Snow can be a factor but the cold won’t.
Michigan's success against Washington came down to one thing. Their safeties. They were awesome.
Safety play and interior defensive line are the pieces that need to be addressed for 2024.
For whom? The Ducks? Cuz Michigan has two All-American Defensive Tackles this year who are sophomores, Kenneth Grant (who is over 315 and runs a 4.6, outran amd hogtied Braelen Allen PSU like baby swine) and Mason Graham (cannot triple team him). Duck fans need to check reality and look at whether their fans want to smak talk or earn it on the field. Don't go down the path of reading your wannabe press clippings. Just sayin'. You could end up like "the" delusional OSU fans. who every year proclaim national championhips - even though they have not beaten UM in 5 years. It wasn't safeties, it was the pass rush which spun the head of UW's QB,. Without Mikey Sainristil, a Nickel, they would have never beaten Bama.
@@blairkrueger6034 who's the video about bud?
They also ran the ball down UW’s throat and Oregon didn’t.
@@blairkrueger6034 this is the correct answer
Oregon had a top 10 scoring defense last season. They are not competing against high power B1G defenses, they are competing against the offenses. Oregon’s biggest need is an elite safety, it’s been a few years since they have had one.
Jabbar Mohamed is pretty damn good
I’m hoping that will be Flowers after the way he looked in the spring game
@@PThorpe11 he looks the part. Just a true freshman however.
Ted, we’re the new kid on the block. We can’t act like we’ll run the conference right away. If we beat Michigan and Ohio State doesn’t mean we own the rest. BIG10 opponents are better than most PAC programs. I love you talking about my DUCKS but when you compared them to Washington, i became bipolar. Sorry to say this, but we will never be like the FUSKIES. One favor to ask you, please never again compare our program to them. I very much appreciate it.🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆
Nobody in the B1G besides Ohio state and maybe Michigan will compete with the roster Dan has put together I feel like we will be in the B1G championship our 1st year and I’ll take that to the bank 💚💛🦆🤝🏾
aannddddddd not to mention our year 1 B1G schedule is very favorable
@@Ducks4Life91
OSU is definitely the #1 team standing on the way. I think Penn St is the other, even though we don’t play them. Their schedule favors them as far as finishing with the least loses.
Their d-line are mostly blue chip but inexperienced but they also bring in very good starters from last year and the portal
Oregon's defensive rating was against PAC12 offenses (substantially better than most B1G offenses). There is a reason Ryan Day (who was mocked horribly for how he ended the season last year) hired Chip Kelly from UCLA and Carlos (RB coach) from Oregon. He wants a PAC12 level offense.
The B1G is not better on offense than last years PAC12. Not close. Meaning, I expect an increase in Oregon's defensive stats just because Oregon is playing in the downgraded offenses in the B1G. Yes, all teams are maneuvering and trying to improve (I mentioned Ohio).
Oregon was a Top10 scoring defense last year... playing against teams in a conference with the best offenses relative to all conferences. So, yes, I expect Oregon's defense to improve and it likely remains Top10.
Buying retreads with expired warranties on an old car...still broken down.
I'm glad you brought this up. I edited this part of my recording out for time. Pac 12 was deeper and better on offense last year than the Big Ten, that shouldn't be an argument for anybody, its a reason why I said I believe they can be a Top 10-15 defense at the end of the video.
Oregon's secondary will have better matchups in probably every game on their schedules besides maybe Ohio State. If the Ducks shut down the pass and let their edge rushes go to work, that could be a dangerous combo.
Michigan would say otherwise . LOL 34-13
@@christophernash1846 hes talking about the entire conference, not just one team
@@whatlol_e Penn State, Ohio State , Iowa
The one thing I didn't really hear you mention was the massive jump the defense made from year 1 to year 2 under Lanning and Lupoi. From 50-60 range to around 20. I would imagine that improvement continues and top 15-20 should be the floor.
Oregon’s defensive line and and linebackers are great! And are definitely championship level. The question will be the secondary! I think they can do it but that’s where the questions are in my mind.
It was either Josh, or one of the other national analysts who seemed to like Oregon's defense 2 or 3 weeks ago asking the question if this could be Oregon's year. It's going to be close. With Dan Lanning driving this team in the right direction, it very well could be.
On paper, the defense should be good enough. Really have to see how it plays out on the field.
As a season ticket holder I can say our defense will definitely not be worse than last year. Probably WAY better.
People forget how much of a jump that defense took between 2022 and 2023. In scoring defense, Oregon took a 66 spot jump from #75 all the way to #9. The only time Oregon allowed more than 30 points were to Washington. And you’ll almost never see that type of offense anymore.
I think special teams put the ducks in tough spots, needs to be addressed.
Great point. Shoring up the special teams (specifically at kicker, and kick/punt returner) is another added dimension Oregon should address. It's the little things.
In Lanning We Trust. FEBU
Hope ducks can transition to their in house recruits at some point, but still Dan seems to recruit the portal better than high school
Defense has no holes and great depth at all positions. The main question is what is the ceiling? There is not a Caleb Downs, Mason Graham, or Will Johnson caliber player yet. That said, if the offense is top 5 again, the defense will be more than enough for a playoff team. There are absolutely question marks but there is reason to be optimistic. We'll see!
I feel like the level of play in the PAC12 was shown in the natty....the "real" natty was the Rose Bowl
As a Buckeye, Oregon is the team I fear. I don't see how they won't completely dominate us and every other team in the conference.
Don't worry, Buddy. Every Buck fan overlooks UM every year. 15-0 those skunk bears...
As a Duck fan, it’s the Buckeyes that scares me the most for the exact same reasons.
October 12th is going to be a movie.
@@BigTenTedit’s a blockbuster movie for sure. Can’t wait anymore
Fuck Oregon and Ohio St…
Jabaar is the new Deion Sanders of CFB
I see a lot of similarities between Lanning/Rhule or Oregon/Nebraska. Both have coaching excellence and development. Oregon will no doubt be a B1G force, but there are guys on the other side of the ball. Ohio St, Michigan, Penn St and, this year or next, Nebraska. This will be a beautiful log jam.
Lanning will never be like Rhule. Please
@@ODUCKSFAN1 Why not? Lanning has never done what Rhule has, but he has great potential.
@@dennisyoung7363 coach Lanning has the mindset of Kirby Smart, Norvell and Nick Saban. He learned coaching ability from this great coaches. No head coaching experience, but he already showed how to be a great in 2 years
@@ODUCKSFAN1 I think you know something about Lanning, but you're completely ignorant about Rhule...obviously. How many 1-11 or 1-10 teams has Lanning taken to a championship game? Rhule has taken Baylor and Temple and soon, Nebraska. Your "mindset" statement is just meaningless blather. What mindset is that? To achieve excellence and win? Rhule has done it twice so far.
@@dennisyoung7363I’m confused on what the hell you’re talking about Dan Lanning is 22-5 at Oregon won national championships at Georgia is defensive coordinator, one of the best recruiters in the entire country. Rhule went 28-23 at temple ending with a string two year stretch in of 20-7 in a g5 conference. And Rhule went 19-20 at Baylor.
Boss'AA how you pronounce his name. Ducks coming! Natty bound ✊️
Oregon is already better at defense than you think. Penix and the Huskies had Oregon's number last season... They also had Texas's number....
Oregon's defense would have fared better against almost any other team... In the off-season Dan Lanning addressed what Washington exposed... Washington's offense was the special case last year... They did not play the best football against Michigan... Washington didn't play at their ceiling consistently... Penix looked awful... He's look that bad against other teams with much worse defenses than Michigan...
Bottom line... Oregon's defenses a lot better than you think it is. You don't know what you're talking about.
I'm not sure you watched the whole video, which is perfectly fine. I talked about how Ducks secondary will be one of the best in the conference and how I thought they would be a top 10-15 defense nationally next season which puts Oregon in a championship level when combined with their offense.
a generally healthy ducks defense that plays to its FULL potential can definitely be natl. champ caliber
Lanning is 0-3 vs Washington and after next year it's going to be 0-4.
🤣
Man you sound hopeful… I think Washington did a great job replacing DeBoer. Lanning was 0-3 against DeBoer…he won’t lose again. Not at home. Not the last game of the season. Not gonna happen. Just rewatch the last 3 games and pray the Fuskies don’t start getting they cheeks smashed from behind again.
no
No.. Oregon is all hat no cattle
Did I hear you say Oregon would be 5th or 6th in the BIG10 IF they can have a top 15 defense? Are you kidding me? See ya on the field buddy.
It's more of a compliment of the Big Ten's depth of great defenses. Ducks could very well finish in the top 2 or 3.
LOL
Sure thing
Princess! Still wouldn’t let go ha?😂😂😂😂. Oregon is all over your mind. Like a nightmare on Elm Street 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ODUCKSFAN1The princess is still thinking about Knights old hair balls..lol
And yes you are an arky fan
When’s the last time arky has a won a big game 😂
@@NeonKing16
So?
Doesn’t change the fact every year we hear “this is oregons year” … “this teams different”
Then what happens?
They piss their pants in big gsmes
Oregon is worthless
Oregon has played football since Grover Cleveland was president and hasn't won a thing... in a word, no.
Oregon also have the academics of a junior college…
I lost all respect for the little 10 when they invite a junior college with no National Championships it’s pathetic…
@@GeeDee103 Guy's talking about academics after posting a UFO sighting lmfao. You guys will wake up when Oregon's in the Big 10 championship game. Casuals.
You watch any Josh Pate, LateKick? This is the classic “can’t” vs “hasn’t” won anything. Don’t expose your casual self. It’s embarrassing.
I lost all respect for the little 10 when they invited a junior college with ZERO National Championships and brag about it straight 🤡🤡🤡 conference…
😂😂 Bend over. B1G gonna prove it this season. The amount of casual football fans that just blast social platforms is ridiculous 😂 you are the 🤡
your right they should have added yale since they have the most championships
@@whatlol_e Stanford and Cal has won a National Championship in Football and they actually have real academics…
@@GeeDee103 you uploaded a ufo sighting 💀 you shouldnt bring up academics lmfao
@@whatlol_e David Shaw and Stanford you to whoop you not that long ago…
No Chance, Ducks. Welcome to the B10. You might lose to the latest crop at Iowa, with or without snow. Or Penn State, or Maryland. Or Wisconsin. A recalcitrant Northwestern. Oh yeah, the F-eyes. Or the Skunk Bears. Good Luck Lanning.
Does it snow there in October? How do Big Ten teams do in November rain?
Time will tell… save some seasoning for that crow. 💚🦆🦆🦆🦆💛
Ahh yes, there’s the ignorant homebody I came to the comments to laugh at 😂.
Casual ass Big10 fan thinking Oregon will lose to ANYONE aside from Michigan or OSU this year. Laughable take.
lol, you’re getting bodied on the reply’s. Stupid casual fan that never watched any Pac12 games 😂🤡 just looked at paper stats and assumed the west was trash cos that’s how ESPN feeds everyone 😂😂 you’re that fan that blames the refs when your team loses for sure 🤡🤡🤡
