“We rotate a lot. Everybody plays with each other, and then we kind of finalize the lineup towards the end of the week, you know. And whoever, whoever's been, been executing the best is going to play,” Strother said. Strother said that communication, what appeared to be an issue in the past two games for the Ducks, is improving throughout each practice. This offensive line is fairly fresh to working together, sans Conerly Jr. and Cornelius. Especially in the interior, the loss of starter Jackson Powers-Johnson left a hole for leadership in the trenches. According to Strother, building maturity is a cornerstone for what the line needs to work on.
Throughout the start of the Ducks’ season, many have expressed their thoughts on the status of the offensive line. A lot of criticism has been lobbed to the trenches, as their performance hasn’t lived up to the hype Oregon amassed over the off season. Strother said that the position group is acknowledging what they need to work on, but not letting critiques sour their mindsets.
