No Oregon fan would disagree with the idea that Oregon’s defense underperformed in 2022. A lot of adjustments and additions have been made since the end of last season, and so far, it appears that things are headed in the right direction.

“It almost looks like they are beginning to get a feel for what we run and then it makes it tough to make any big plays or have consistent drives,” one person told me.
Based on what we’ve heard from coaches and players throughout spring practice, this would make sense. The second year in Dan Lanning’s complicated system is generally when the pieces start to click together.
