I think that is part of the answer, but it is primarily Cristobal himself. He would rather be tough, than score as many points as he can. Why else would he dump two highly successful offenses for this?

"In your opening press conference...you promised to stick to fast tempo and to running an offense that the fans find entertaining. Have you done both?" Bonus Question: "If the fans and Rob Mullens knew you had this in mind on offense....do you think you would have still got the job?" Second Bonus Question: The original Oregon Spread Offense was the first in NCAA history to score 45 points a game for three years straight; the Gulf Coast Offense of 2017 averaged nearly 50 points a game when Herbert was healthy. Why would you dump two offenses that were so successful? My friends....I've been asked why I don't ask those questions since I have media credentials? The answer is why all the other media doesn't; if you want access, you have to suck-up. The same censorship against anything negative especially persists in the Athletic Department, home of GoDucks.com, the Oregon version of Pravda. That is why I don't ask those questions, but I do write about them extensively.

I grew up in Corvallis originally as a Beaver, so now I cheer for them against all except for the Rivalry game. That will continue regardless of how good they become... And if the Ducks fall behind, it is the fault of the coaches at Oregon. Blaming Oregon State for Oregon's demise....

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to provide more information, as an article can only go so long. First there are a great many species in the animal/bird kingdom where the Alpha in each family is the female, so we need to be careful of our conclusions. I do not moderate this site based on gender, but on behaviors. And it is behaviors that were the difference in the Baboon troop atmosphere, as they are here in the OBD forum. What usually comes up and I've been accused of often on other sites, or from those I've blacklisted is..."you eliminate voices that disagree with you." And they want to argue the topic with me in an email... I explain that I don't care what the topic views are, as I want to see them all. But regardless of what side you take--you must follow our rules governing behaviors on this site. The same rules in the baboon troop centered around behaviors as well. So much of the censorship taking place in Social Media centers around the viewpoint or the opinion being eliminated. The same is true when FishDuck articles are censored from two major data aggregators; they want positive articles about Oregon football, and do not want any Critical Analysis. That is again dealing with particular opinions or viewpoints, where my rules and moderating are based upon behaviors.

Thanks for bringing that, but YIKES!

You are always so reasonable or factual, UtahDuck. Love it.

That was a painful observation, yet funny...

I told everyone in the introductory video that when you are signed in....a dot or star will appear to the left of a topic title on the front page when you return, and it was based upon whether you started the topic or not. WRONG. The dot indicates that you have not commented in the thread, and the star indicates that you HAVE commented in the thread. The Cool Part? When you click on the dot or star...it will take you right to where you left off reading in the thread. So when you left and there were ten posts you had read, and upon your return you now see there are eight new ones? Click on the dot or star on the left and it will take you to No. 11, where you left off. How cool! Saves a ton of time scrolling and trying to recall...now did I read that post by Mr. FishDuck? (Looks kinda boring, so...) Changes taking place! Yep, you will have noticed that the background color of the posts has gone from white-to-green-to-yellow and back to white! Part of that is yours-truly experimenting, and part of that is the Web Developer making some tweaks to our Moderating Software, to make it operate better. We will have more of that going as we work to make this very user-friendly....and do click on "Directions" in upper left! But to see the "Scroll-Saving" dot or star....you have to be a member of the forum and signed in. Otherwise you will not see them!

Great stuff Jon! (and yeah...my hand is up too!)

Wait a minute...isn't the offensive coordinator supposed to be doing this entirely? Can "by committee" really work? Mario...how well has this committee worked thus far? Is this what a good offensive coordinator would want to be a part of?

We gotta have a little fun, so tell who your straight-up winners are going to be for the following games? Arizona State vs. Stanford USC vs. Utah Oregon State vs. Washington State UCLA vs. Arizona I am going with Arizona State, Utah, Oregon State and UCLA; how about you?

I fear for the Athletic Department that this has already happened with a percentage of fans and will continue to. It is not smart football and everyone can see it...

Interesting article and she had 2.8 million followers on Tik Tok? She was a celebrity walking into Autzen? 'The Poster Child for the NIL:' Sedona Prince has all Eyes on her Entering Junior Year with Oregon Ducks by Zach Neel of Ducks Wire

I was thinking about watching Arizona State tonight, and when I realized it was against the 'Furd I said to myself, "nah." I do not want to see anything associated with them yet this season... I never viewed them with "hate" like I have the Huskies, or in the distant past, USC. But I really don't like the smarty-pants in Palo Alto anymore, and maybe that is what the players and coaches need to be feeling next year? How do YOU feel about Stanford after that game? Or were your feelings based on all the other upsets of the past? (The one in 2001 just drove me crazy...I've never seen a game where a team had a punt blocked twice)

Agreed. A boatload of baggage...

Agreed. ASU will win...

Completely agree. I want freshman receivers, freshman QBs and freshman RBs playing to go along with our freshman TEs.

In three and a half years....all of Cristobal's offensive systems have not worked to the level of the two offenses he dumped... What a great decision.

I think everyone would, but I sense that he is so well loaded that he is looking for the next challenge. College football? He's won multiple 'Nattys with two teams...punched that goal ticket. I really don't think he leaves the NFL until he is fired.

BTW...Duck Territory is killing it for basketball recruiting reports in both Mens and Womens and this is condensed from them. (A verbal is public knowledge) 5-Star 6' 3" Forward Grace VanSlooten of Ohio verballed to Coach Graves, the 13th best player in the US, went with a gut feeling in the end over Gonzaga and Arizona as the final two other suitors. She has played extensively on the AAU tour with fellow 5-Star from Ohio, Chance Gray, and thus good chemistry already beginning. She was also quite attracted to the new NIKE NIL program at Oregon and wants to win a 'Natty in Eugene. Four players visited after the recruiting restrictions were removed June, and all four verballed to Graves? Whew!

Chris Hansen of the Eugene R-G is reporting that Bennett Williams is lost for the season as Verdell is. Bradyn Swinson will be back for Cal, and Joe Moorhead is now recovering in Eugene and it is unknown if he will be available for Cal. And Cristobal has declared his confidence in Anthony Brown for Cal. Talk about a mixed bag....

Amen. Perhaps a FishDuck writer will create an article of tribute to this warrior.

Thanks deschutesduck for the tweet. I do not like the contents, but appreciate seeing it.

Crushing. Well, we will see some freshmen running backs now! (And THANK YOU UtahDuck for reporting it)

GREAT information, and I appreciate it for all of us. While Oregon is not good in a number of those stats, it does show the impressive rise of Oregon State. So many stats we should be better at and are not, thus it...
