Good points and there is truth in what you wrote; we are not there yet, but this is the most progress in the nearly four years of Cristobal.

These uniforms next to Battleship Grey? Ducks win! My friends...THAT is a very cool helmet, and for those who have a boring all-green helmet as an avatar--I will be replacing them with the left one you see below next week. I like the old green ones with the "O" in them, but the all-green recent year versions are kinda blah compared to this new one. vs.

The REALLY smart ones want no part of this...

Boy....I do not know about that. Seems to me that the Pac-12 Championship decides who goes to the Rose Bowl?

NIL? I'm in....

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! We DO know what we are doing!

I sure did not think of this...but all from one coach? Naw....

Thank you Coach as this was a Blast-from-the-Past for me. We ran a similar play a decade ago with Chip that I called the Straddled Triple Option, where we ran an Inside Zone one direction, and a Speed Double-Option the other direction. In this version the running back can run to either A-Gap, as you noted. I loved this play and GREAT to see it back!

I'll take a little coin from big donors...

The beginning of the end? Don't touch my big payday!

Oh good! For once someone else is wearing hideously ugly grey uniforms! Won't be hard to look sharp next to that! We lost both games BTW...

You don't understand..... Cohen knows what she is doing!

During the first half....I was tempted to borrow a phrase from Ernie and shout, "MOVE!" The offense was stagnant with too much one-on-one.

I don't agree with this. He does not have breakaway speed, nor the length; he has great separation skills and is a dependable (usually) receiver for third down. He is not as great as he thinks, IMHO. And KingT...welcome to the forum!

Outstanding article Joshua, because you back your contentions up with facts to come to a reasonable conclusion. You've helped my blood pressure already!

Thank you Steven A. as that is a GREAT article!

Let's hope they do better than the Men did last night with their PK Tournament! Nice to see Watson improving...

This is a very good listen for only two minutes, and he is very compelling...

PFF ranks two Oregon defensive linemen in the top three of the conference?

I wrote some great things about him in the early part of my Monday article, and featured him throughout the analysis. Glad to see his recognition, and glad to see that Cristobal saw his upside and recruited the JC transfer.

Unbelievable. I hope this motivates the team as it appears that NONE of the goodwill created by beating Ohio State for the first EVER resides with the powers-that-be. They would tell me to cheer up, as their odds for us have doubled in the last week from 3% to 7%! The official table of odds is right here....
