Refs affected the game as well, multiple calls that prolonged drives for Iowa or stopped us, it was noticeable.I would say we aren't a top 5 team, and I don't think we're really a contender for the national title. Too much inconsistencies in our QB play, our line play, and our LBs are little bit limited for what you expect out of a team that wins a title. Need more pressure on the QB, need to be more consistently stout in the run D.That play was a great call and would have been a TD had Moore escaped Iuli's foot sweep. WS set it up with the serial runs. Saleapaga had done a feign block then go route towards the post. The DB had bit on the run fake, leaving #83 wide open. Saw it work a couple times last year with TFerg, but not with the QB under center. Everyone has those moments of doubt given the somewhat erratic nature of the offense and QB play this year..In this game Oregon was missing a starting WR, TE and RT, then lost another WR. To see Moore overcome that was a huge positive, particularly during the game winning drive. I'm going to call that glass half full
