Geoff Schwartz knows ball.
The former Duck right tackle played eight years in the NFL. He's the all-time PAC-10 leader in rushing yards by an offensive lineman. He studies football full-time as an analyst for Sirius XM radio and Fox Sports.
In the "Ducks Rising" film room he proposes a three-headed solution for an Oregon offense that floundered in the 30-20 loss to Indiana:
1. Run the gol' dang ball.
2. Focus on two running backs.
3. Set up the play-action pass.
At Oregon Schwartz blocked for Jonathan Stewart and Dennis Dixon, so he knows the running game as well as anyone.
