The Oregon Ducks kicked off the Dan Lanning era in unwelcoming fashion, getting crushed by the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs 49-3. Brett Leason Jersey It was the first time the Ducks failed to score a touchdown since 2017.The last time the Ducks opened their season scoring in the single digits was in 2009 when the No. 16 Ducks fell to No. 14 Boise State 19-8 in Bronco Stadium.For Dan Lanning and offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham, it's crucial to get the offense headed in the right direction, creating explosive plays and lighting up the scoreboard. Here are some players that can help Oregon's offense flip the switch.One good thing quarterback Bo Nix did in Atlanta was spread the ball out. Nix hit nine different receivers throughout the game.But no Duck hit the 40 receiving yard mark. And only nine of Nix's 21 completions were to wide receivers.The Ducks need a Christian Djoos Men Jersey proven pa s catcher outside, and nobody is more proven than Chase Cota. He's never done it in Autzen Stadium, but Cota nearly 900 receiving yards in his career UCLA.Cota is also a South Medford High School legend. Consider this a homecoming of sorts, and expect a good day from Cota.The injury bug has already started to bite the Ducks again. The offense looks like it could be without veteran left guard Ryan Walk against Eastern Washington after hemi sed the second half of the Georgia game.It was sophomore Marcus Harper IIwho replaced Walk last week and is likely to start against Eastern Washington. But to make up for mi sed depth and talent, T.J. Ba s has been practicing at both interior and outside offensive line positions.Coach Lanning emphasized that Oregon needs to be better at winning the perimeter, Rod Langway Kids Jersey and one way to do that is by sealing the edge on run plays. Without Walk, inside running lanes will be harder to come by. Oregon needs the senior Ba s lead the O-line.Scroll to ContinueOregon actually ended the game with more rushing yards than the Bulldogs -- 140 Nick Jensen Men Jersey to 132. But it was hard to tell because Oregon didn't seem to have one consistent runner they preferred.Except for Nix, who had more carries (8) than any Duck running back.The Ducks looked at their running backs enough in the pa sing game. Now it's time to hand them the rock. And Sean Dollarsshould be the Duck with the rock the most against EWU.Dollars was the most efficient runner on the field in Mercedes Benz Arena, rushing four times for 33 yards for an average of 8.3 yards per carry. Dollars looked the most convincing out of the Oregon backfield, and he should have a better time now that he isn't running towards Georgia's defensive front.Here we are again. A rough performance from Oregon's starting quarterback, and the fans called forTy Thompson to get a chance. After weeks of not announcing a starter Philipp Grubauer Women Jersey , Lanning stood behind Nix as QB1 after the Georgia game.Regardle s of Lanning's insurance, the Ducks should blow Eastern Washington out of the water -- and let two or even three different quarterbacks see the field.There won't be an easier matchup for Oregon this season. If Thompson gets a chance this Saturday, look for him to get some much needed reps for the first time since facing Colorado last season.Follow Graham on Twitter:
