Duck Tape: Film Review of Week 9, 2021 vs Colorado

For the third straight week, Oregon’s rush offense performed at over 75% efficiency, which I’ve never seen from a single team in over a decade of charting games. Prior to garbage time, they had 20 successful designed runs vs just 6 unsuccessful ones given the down & distance, or a 76.9% success rate.

The Ducks got 8.0 yards per carry on designed runs during meaningful play, with six rushes going for 10+ yards, or 23% of rushing playcalls (those figures go to 8.4 YPC and 25% explosive if two short-yardage touchdown rushes are excluded).

I haven’t seen any schematic change to Oregon’s offense during this season, just excellent run blocking all season long and a steady improvement in the backs’ vision and proper cuts.
