Mic No. 1 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) While not a complete comparison by any means (Kelly's the H.C. of course) there seems to be ONE major difference emerging in the still too-early comparison: Oregon, under Lanning & Dilly can score just as fast, just as creatively and just as explosively, BUT the Oregon Ducks are winning the T.O.P. (time of possession). Imagine a team that scores like O and then couple that somehow with keeping the ball away from the Opponent longer than you keep it. Oregon won the time of possession 33:27 to 27:33 for UCLA. What was the topic headline awhile back by McDuck? 'Ruh-Roh!'

Mic Author No. 3 Share Posted October 23, 2022 The Ducks are getting better every time they play - on both sides of the ball. If this keeps up things could get really, really interesting. Bo might get a little bit of love from the Heisman crowd after this but esp if the improvement keeps up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oregon could have scored another TD at the end of the game. They had plenty of time to do so. Instead Lanning chose to run out the clock. It could have been 52-30. But, wasn't the right thing to do.

The tempo can be ramped up and down successfully. The problem during the Kelly-Helfrich eras was that Oregon couldn't slow the tempo down to burn clock effectively. I think a big component of that is that we now have some big time linemen who can use their size and power to dominate a downhill running game. I'm not saying Tempo is gimmicky at all... It is a strategy and when used effectively it is difficult to combat but for it to work it needs to be used a lot of the time. Kelly's UCLA guys just didn't have the size to stop Oregon's run game when confronted with that much power. So going slow or fast didnt matter as much. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If O can distill this and bottle it they'll bring home a Championship! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
