Offensive Coordinator Stein should show much improvement in his second year at Oregon.

David you continue to serve the OBD Forum with your excellent writing. Thank you! As you noted there are many parts to this offense and many things different from the year before. A left handed QB takes longer to get used to. Advantage Nix. Receivers grow up with passes from right handers. I can remember many dropped passes from Gabriel that should have been caught. Next year we will have two good QBs who will be in their third year with Will Stein (3 for Novosad and 2 for Moore). Both Nix and Gabriel failed to see wide open receivers. Playing quarterback is a difficult task. The more time in a system will help both QBs. Although the offensive line did settle in to a very good season, Gabriel had a lot of pressure during the season and his quick release saved a sack. He also had to scramble many times. I have faith that Stein and his quarterbacks will work hard this Spring and Summer to improve these stats you showed us. Thanks again David!

Excellent points Darren! I always look forward to reading your articles.

Thanks Darren, good analogy with 1A and 1B! Yes, losing the championship game would have been the easier route. But I don't think elite/competitive coaches and players ever like to lose on purpose. This format for the CFP is an abomination created by Conference Commissioners and TV executives. It can't end soon enough!

Jordan, painful to read your recap. But brutally honest! Inquiring minds still ask what caused this unlikely performance by the Ducks. There's lots of conjecture concerning the players health.
