Football: Oregon Play Calling by Down and Distance

It is almost August and football season is right around the corner. With fall camp about to begin I wanted to take a look back at the 2025 question to investigate a frequent criticism of OC Will Stein: that he does not stretch the field with the downfield passing game enough.

It is useless hyperbole to say the Ducks “never throw deep” under Stein. There did seem to be games during the film review I did last year, at Wisconsin and the Rose Bowl specifically, when the offense seemed to be reluctant to try to go over the top.
