Oregon Football was bludgeoned by the Georgia Bulldogs 49-3 in the Chick-fil-a Kickoff Game on Saturday, one of the worst losses for the Ducks in recent memory. It was about as bad of a start as Oregon could have had to the 2022 season under 1st-year HC Dan Lanning, There were more negative aspects to the game than Duck fans would have liked, but what was the most concerning in a time where it's paramount to not overreact to week 1, even a blowout such as this?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Max Torres, covering the Ducks for Fan Nation at Sports Illustrated and host of the 'Ducks Dish' podcast. They discuss some of the many things that went wrong for Dan Lanning and co. down in Atlanta on Saturday, and why Kirby Smart's comment about Georgia having better players was warranted. However, it's also important to point out that there was a coaching mismatch in this game as well.

The offense had struggles, failing to manage a touchdown, but after the first two drives it didn't appear that would be the case. Bo Nix and the offense were able to move the ball very early in the game, but turnovers and poor execution thwarted multiple scoring opportunities. Judging the entire team on this grand WEEK ONE challenge is not the best way to assess how Oregon's season may end up in 2022.
