This is an extraordinarily good analysis of so many plays that if half are done correctly--Oregon rolls on. I cannot believe that, 1) Brown is this bad, and 2) that the freshmen QBs could not do as good or better.

Exemplary research for the community and commentary....again. Thanks Jon.

He certainly hasn't listened to me about the offense for the last three years--despite what his mentor and the rest of the "Playoff-3" who win the most do!

So true, and the thought of it makes me ill.

I would agree it was a key play, but there were tons of them by both us, and the officials. If Anthony Brown pitches the ball to Verdell at the end of the half instead of trying to play "hero," we are up by 14 at the end and and this is moot. Lots of plays that could have turned it... I sure agree about team discipline, and that is a surprising issue for them considering Cristobal. And normally I do not comment on posting names, but yours is unusual in reference to yours-truly. But welcome to our community--do post often!

I will politely disagree with that. Greatwood recruited agile linemen who could move, but were not giants. That was the knock on Chip, that he got overwhelmed by elite defensive linemen such as Nick Fairley. Mario announced right up front that "he was going to make his linemen tougher." Cristobal is recruiting offensive linemen that are huge, and do not have the mobility, IMHO.

He is running the New Orleans system, and under Cristobal--there has been no system. Chip had one, and Bellotti did, but...

And THAT is what many of us fear...

Feels like 2007....

I think ASU's victory over UCLA is bigger than OSU over UW, thus I would put ASU over OSU. I also think I would put the Bruins ahead of Stanford. I have no idea where to put Oregon...

His accuracy is unbelievable. Then I thought of how Brown throws....

A very low probability of all that happening, but it could...and it is a nice vision for me.

You keep writing stuff that....I absolutely love as I agree with it!

What are you talking about? Oregon Football is life! And great point about Bridges; I forgot, and that could have changed the game in the Red Zone...to have him available for each time? Great stuff oregon112...

Then you better get the towel ready. He isn't going to change... Please consider the morphing I am doing as a fan to keep my sanity and my loyalty to Our Beloved Ducks!

Yep. The thread by 30Duck had that Tweet, but I appreciate you passing along any news that can benefit our readers.

It was a wake-up call to the fans, but not MC unfortunately. Oregon had 57 players signed in the prior four years that were Rivals 4/5-Star players. Fresno had 1, yes ONE. Now granted--they did well in the portal, but your point about the talent discrepancy is on point, IMHO.

I don't think that is true unless they lose a bunch more games they shouldn't. This could be the "wake-up call" to the players and coaches that changes everything!

I love that--great analogy.

First I do want to thank you oregon112, for bringing us great topics for discussion as well as your thoughts about the football side of things. Fun to learn from others... I am now at the same spot I was at the beginning of the season; I have no idea what will happen! The margin of possibilities is vast, as there is a high upside, but there could also be some significant slippage as teams see how easy it is to defend us. I really have no idea, and my spin I'm selling to myself is how it will be great entertainment to see what happens!

Whew! Now I know that sounds terrible that I'm glad that it IS a medical thing? But you've seen the posts and a number of Duck fans in conversation and in emails have suggested that it was a falling out between Moorhead and Cristobal. I am glad that has been proven wrong and hope everything went well. Medical facilities in the Bay Area are superb... And THANKS 30Duck for bringing the news to us! Everyone--when you see something that is news or a great article--do your part and post it!

Yep. Being 10 points up would have made it all moot. We can blame the coaches, but they called a great play and Brown blew it.

How could I forget?! It was OBD Moderator 30Duck who coined that phrase and it is a very accurate one!

Now THAT is a really good point. If he cannot make good decisions on which receiver to throw to, or which option to take on the Zone-Reads, then adding to his plate could make things worse. The solution? Try Ty Thompson!

Well, a shift would help, but I believe we need more than that. The Up-Tempo would help us, no doubt. I don't think he will change at all until he has lost enough games...when he realizes he is losing more games than he should with his talent. I am thinking that with him....that will take this year and two more after that. This would be a fundamental movement from his identity, and he is not as flexible that way as Saban is, IMHO.
