Oregon Football continues to improve week after week, most recently culminating in an impressive 45-30 win over No. 9 UCLA on Saturday.
This year’s team appears improved from last season, particularly on offense.
Are there any parallels between this start for Lanning and Chip Kelly’s first season in 2009?
On today’s episode of Locked On Ducks, I answer listener questions about just how to feel with regards to this 6-game winning streak.
Things are good, but it’s important to remember that you never know when the season could feature a stumble—and that 2009 season has lessons on that front to call upon.
One of the goals that fans have for Lanning and this staff is to make the College Football Playoff.
I examine what’s required for Oregon to return to the CFP, and why some early indicators for Lanning and Co. are off to a good start at this point.
