Expectations should realistically be tempered with Will Stein before the season started. He's absolutely an intelligent, creative, young offensive mind like Kenny Dillingham. The interesting juxtaposition with Will and Kenny is that coming into this season, Will had less overall experience as an OC at the college level but twice as much as an actual play caller (2 years vs 1 for Kenny). Because of this, I couldn't really "guestimate" Will's and Kenny's would-be performance comparison beyond a wash and that we'd see similar year 2 improvement and growing pains if Kenny had stayed with play calling duties. Unfortunately we just have to be patient with Will. Like Charles points out, overall he's been doing a fantastic job despite his short resume coming into the program. He's bright, inventive, and adaptive like most of the young coaching staff. I say "unfortunately" because that timing doesn't line up with what we need because of the talent and experience we have in the players...Bo and Franklin are both likely gone after this season. It is what it is, we just need to accept that there will inevitably be bumps along the way and that may stop OBD from getting to the CFP or even the Pac12 championship game this year. But the future is invariably bright and with the continued top 10 recruiting classes pouring in, the coaching staff has an embarrassment of riches in terms of talent to mold and make Oregon really competitive in the B10.

Should Lanning had punted, UW would've had more than 2 minutes to score. They could score twice in that span of time. So I don't hate the decision to go for it on 4th and 3 to put the game to bed. To me that was a coin flip decision.

I love James and Bucky. One's a wrecking ball and the other is a magician

These refs are deliberately trying to give UW the game, incomplete catch my #ss!!!

FRANKLIN!!!

Ouch I hope JPJ isn't out long

The offense must come through on this one. Put it to bed!!!

NICE STOP DEFENSE!!!

Refs are trying to give the Fuskies every PI possible, especially ones that aren't there.

Ever since Jordan James took a rib shot in the 1st half he's been in hulk mode. He obviously took that personally and I love it.

I have to agree with this. Odunze is a big receiver and Florence was undersized against him. I think Odunze is t used to being covered by such a tall defensive back that's just as quick as he is.

2 CBs injured on the ground, are you kidding me?

Halftime talk show is all about Washington.

I don't mind the aggressive play calling. But they should have had Jordan James punch that in from 4 yards out.

Oh man that was a huge lost opportunity. I don't understand why they didn't call a run play.

Glad to see Jordan James back in, he looks angry!

Really don't like seeing Kyree on the ground.

Yeah I'm not a Pat McAfee either. ESPN held onto him because he's "colorful" but more importantly cheap. I find him abrasive and off-putting.

At some point one of those Pennix passes will drop into a Duck's hands. Only a matter of time.

Nix pulling the ball is helping keep the defense on its heels.

Penalties are really hurting the Fuskies as they have all season. I don't expect them to suddenly develop that discipline over the course of this game and I think it will ultimately cost them.

New score prediction: Ducks win defensive fist fight 10-7 on last second field goal 😜

Fantastic!!!

I just beat up on a stuffed Husky toy lol
