Jordan James and Oregon's running game has found its footing at the right time
Arm tackles? What arm tackles?
EUGENE — The Oregon Ducks were largely in good shape coming into Friday’s game against Michigan State, but one of the things coach Dan Lanning harped on throughout the week was the second level.
In short, Oregon’s running game had been doing a satisfactory job of moving the chains. But when it came to turning those medium runs into game-busters, the Ducks were falling just short of their potential.
“We’re still waiting to break some second-level tackles,” Lanning said on Monday. “I think that’s something that can show up and create a little bit more explosive nature in our run game.”
