  1. Yes, lean on the RBs instead of leaning on the QB in the run game. The Furd run D is not that good. UCLA smash mouthed the Cardinal. Oregon should and can do the same.
  2. When running RPO plays the QB and RB has to make the right decision. Keep the ball or hand off at the mesh point? I don't think Mario and Moorhead are meshing? Moorhead was fired up to go against old foe Ohio State and called an outstanding game. He perfectly game planned for the Bucks D. In the post-game presser after the AZ game, after the O woefully underachieved, Moorhead was blaze. He seemed to be completely disinterested and disengaged. Not the least bit troubled over the junk he put out on the field. No responsibility taken for running a good but not great running QB more often than his RBs. Is something amiss between Mario and JM? This is not what I expected from JM. This is not the O he ran and Penn St. This is not how he coached up McSorley who improved in every outing under JM's instruction. In the two years he has been in Eugene, we saw Shough regress during the season and it appears that we are now seeing the same with Brown? Is Mario micro-managing JM and the O? Is the step down from being an HC in the SEC to being a coordinator in the Pac-12 a step that JM cannot gracefully take? Of course, I am not inside the program so these are my guesses and certainly not what I know. However, I do know with certainty, something is not clicking.
  3. Great take David! Before the current targeting mess, refs called personal fouls for improper hits when warranted. Asking refs to make the same kind of decision regarding ejection, especially with reply reviewing the call, is not too big an ask for the refs. When a ball carrier drops his head at the point of tackle, and helmet to helmet is incidental, no kid should be kicked out of a game. Cincinnati at Indiana. Incidental contact with the QB led to the Hoosiers best guy on D being thrown out and completely changed the calculus and outcome of the game. The rule is being reviewed but I expect no change before the 2022 season.
  4. Beavs win. Why? John Smith calling plays and not the dysfunctional UW OC, Donovan. And Chance Nolan is the better QB with better weapons.
  5. 38 - 24 OREGON - Cover that -7.5 men. 2 (more if Mr T plays; even more if he is close to full speed, 3, 175 UCLA smash mouthed the Cardinal last Saturday. Stanford's run D is not up to Stanford standards. The only reason Stanford was in the game vs the Bruins was due to UCLA's back end, fire drill pass D. The same D that gave up 2 late TD drives to Fresno State.
