I think what we're seeing is something many of us surmised before the season began. In the face of having a brand new OC, new OL coach, and replacing 4 out of 5 OL starters it was going to take until mid-season before everything truly settled in and everyone was fully comfortable in the offense. We're in the middle of that transformation right now and it's a beautiful thing to see. Thanks for the article David!

He's not unless a miracle happens with the new DC hire, even then it takes time to reform an entire defense with the magnitude it needs to change right now.

I stopped watching the game at halftime. I was surprised at the final score though, Colorado getting back to within a TD.

35-28 Fuskies going into the half. Not much defense going on!

Fuskies continuing their trend of struggling against mediocre competition. Down 14-7 to the spoiled children right now.

I realize aggression is part of the game but if your opponent is already in the ground you don't need to do any more. We're talking to you JPJ 😛

Hope the injury isn't serious. Accidents happen but it's still hard to watch sometimes.

Spoiled brats up in the Fuskies, 7-0

Jeez looks like Utah took out all their frustrations on poor Dilly and his team. 55-3 Ouch!

When they were showing highlights of the 1st quarter I didn't even hear the commentators...all I heard was the them song to the Benny Hill show.

Now that the game is firmly in hand, style points matter for the CFP. Score 2 more TDs, grab a safety, and allow Cal no more than 8 points along the way.

Obviously the Oregon coaching staff is monitoring this thread while on the field.

That's not targeting!

Anyone else feel like Oregon's kick/punt returns efforts are middling? I can't recall any game this season where I've seen a home run kick return.

I hope DL lays into the offense during halftime to shake them out of this malaise they're in.

Wish he would just do the smart thing and keep using what was working.

Ew they mentioned Mario.

I don't understand why they've gone away from running the ball

Nix is basically playing Houdini to keep the offense from making more mistakes.

JPJ snapped when he wasn't signaled to.

What the heck was that??

Like the weather this has been an extremely sloppy 1st quarter so far.

Looks like that's what they're going with now. It's raining cats and dogs out there!

Steve Stephens just bailed them out. Great play!

Wow, penalties just ruined a great defensive stand.
