The regular season has officially come to a close for the Oregon Ducks.
It was a promising start to the Dan Lanning era in Eugene, with Oregon’s offense leading the way to great success that unfortunately ended in disappointing fashion against the Oregon State Beavers. Regardless of the end result, if we are to take a look at the season as a whole, there is a lot of promise going forward.
We’re going to focus on the offense in particular, right now.
With Kenny Dillingham running things — before he left to take the head coaching job at Arizona State — the Ducks had things rolling. They averaged over 40 points per game until the final week of the season, and got the most out of Bo Nix, who rose to the Heisman Trophy candidate level working under Dillingham. The Ducks had one of the best offensive lines in the nation, and a running game that was dynamic and physical. The receivers and tight ends saw a resurgence in Eugene, and points were aplenty.
It was a fun year offensively in Eugene. Let’s take a look at where they rank nationally in some key statistics now that the year is over.
