Oregon Ducks Offense (2001) - Jeff Tedford

The 2001 Oregon Ducks football team represented the University of Oregon as a member of the Pacific-10 Conference (Pac-10) during the 2001 NCAA Division I-A football season. The team was led by head coach Mike Bellotti, who was in his seventh season at Oregon.

Jeff Tedford played a crucial role in the success of the 2001 Oregon Ducks football team as their offensive coordinator. His contributions significantly impacted the team's performance and overall achievements.

Tedford implemented an innovative and effective offensive scheme that emphasized quick passing plays, spreading out the defense, and exploiting mismatches. This strategy proved to be highly successful, as the Ducks' offense ranked among the top teams in the Pac-10 Conference and the nation.

The Ducks' offense was also aided by a solid receiving corps, led by receiver Keenan Howlett, who caught 69 passes for 1,025 yards and 12 touchdowns. Howlett was a first-team All-Pac-10 selection in 2001. The Ducks' offense also had a number of other talented receivers, including Jason Fife, Drew Davis, and James Allen.

The Ducks' defense was also solid in 2001. They allowed 24.0 points per game, which ranked 45th in the country. The defense was led by linebacker David Sissoko, who recorded 126 tackles and 3 interceptions. Sissoko was a first-team All-Pac-10 selection in 2001. The Ducks' defense also had a number of other talented players, including defensive tackle Brandon Abercrombie, safety Rashad Bauman, and cornerback Donald Johnson.

The Ducks' biggest win of the season came against No. 14 Washington State, whom they defeated 41-22. The Ducks also had a notable win against No. 22 Wisconsin, whom they defeated 38-16 in the Fiesta Bowl.
