I'm all for supporting these young men but the truth hurts... our team isn't that good. Really have a lot of promise and potential but not that good at this point. I believe they have overachieved this year. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDuck No. 149 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) MC has hit his ceiling. Don't tell me it's injuries, this is fully out coached by a great coach. 3x best Pac recruiting class means nothing if you don't coach them up. Could finish 12-2 but bark rats gotta be smelling blood. Get to the Rose and a B1G team will destroy us. Pittman leaving not a good sign. If AB is our best chance to win this year, future not so bright. ABs 2 yard throws, and under thrown and over thrown 1st downs is pathetic, sorry. Delay if game again? Just not prepared.

Autzen No. 160 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Still not sure why we threw so much in this game.

It doesn't matter what you do in week 2 if you cannot win in week 10, 11, 12, etc... MC needs to do something different if he's ever going to get Oregon to the promise land. He has to make tough choices for the better of the program. Whatever that is. What's the definition of insanity? ... MC clearly doesn't know. Good win, Utah. Tough loss, Ducks. Move on.

1Ducker1 No. 164 Share Posted November 21, 2021 AB isnt all that great but our offensive blocking has been pretty bad. This O line could make just about any QB look awful. Im thinking late season nagging injuries, sore muscles and tendons etc. Which can come from too much physicality during practices? I dunno but football is punishing.

Buzby No. 165 Share Posted November 21, 2021 For a coach who prides himself on his big, bad OL, the fact that we barely ran the ball in the first half clearly shows MC's limitations as a coach. In no way could Moorhead be behind this complete 180 in play calling. He is not that stupid, nor would MC let him. MC is a heck of a recruiter though. All those 4-5 stars look great running around without the ball in their hands. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike West No. 193 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Wow. People are going to say the same thing they said after the Iowa State fiasco. Scheme won this game. It wasn't muscle. What I mean by that is you don't put four men up against six or seven. You will not win that battle. As for the offense, I've figured Brown out. He will not go through his full progressions of he is feeling pressure to make a play. And when Utah started to blitz, Morehead wouldn't Max protect ( keep a TE and RB as blockers). Oregon's WRs we're open downfield, all day. You could see it on the replays. Cristobal needs to look at tons of film. That is the best way to learn the complete game of football. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
