personally I think Cristobal is a much worse coach than Helfrich.

Helfrich knew how to run the offense, but he let too many other things slide, like letting players skip out or cheat on their workouts.  I didn't have a problem with him as OC but as HC, he was cancer.

I honestly kind of hate when people blame refs for losing games, but hoo-boy, they sure did their best to make sure we lost today. To be fair, it should never have been as close as it was, and Mario bungled the endgame time-management yet again, but the refs sure did bail Stanford out on that last 4thQ drive. I think the refs alone accounted for 45 yards. Whatever. We were very clearly overrated and we all knew it. I still see a Rose Bowl in our future against a resurgent Michigan. It'll be fun to beat not only one, but two Big 10 blue bloods this year. GoDucks!

He has done it every season as HC of the Ducks.  Why should we come to expect any differently now?  Was he napping while Saban was coaching the games at Bama?  He should have been taking notes.

So who was calling the plays on offense?  MC?

KT was pushed.  Dolorus was in the air when the ball was released.  A player can't halt in mid air.  His momentum was carrying him forward. Late hits have be within reason.

Give the assist to the Pac12 refs.

MC still doesn't know how to manage the game clock.
