Please tell me again how bad our defense was?

Because Oregon plays at such a fast pace, the team they are playing averages 79.6 plays per game.

I could keep going with stats, that prove over-all offensive and defensive stats mean nothing. But, you guys already have preconceived ideas about how weak we are because we like to play fast and through the air.


Also, how am I wrong about playing from behind means we should be better at defense? It's because our defense gets tired. They throw the ball more. Corners and safeties have to do more. Have you ever watched a pac-12 game, seen how fast things go?

 

I think the Oregon/FSU game will be a shoot out. Oregon has been playing good lately but they have also been playing shitty teams (Colorado and OR st). They woke up against Zona and showed why they are one of the best. Winston will have to have a clean game to keep it close, where Oregon will have to win the line to keep it close I think. I see an Oregon/Bama game in the future.

Brady and Ross you're welcome. I can't believe I just typed that positive about Oregon.

 

I think FSU can play as fast as anyone. We will be ready for you.. Jimbo has hung a big banner in the locker room that shows FSU the 7 point under dog.. You talk like you are playing someone that cant make the big dance..It WILL NOT BE A RUN AWAY for you, You can bet on that..

 

I made one comment about how I was glad Jameis was getting to face the 114th overall pass d. And then included a general fact about how Oregon is ranked 80th overall on d.

The rest of those rankings are showing how bad the defenses are that Oregon has faced this year and have nothing to do with Oregons D...

I've also watched plenty of west coast football. I don't see how you can blame game speed on your corners playing poorly and at the same time say that's how you like to play?

 

I think they will both be fun to watch.

 

Ohio State offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tom Herman was named the winner of the Broyles Award on Tuesday, after the Buckeyes made the College Football Playoff despite losing two starting quarterbacks to season-ending injuries.

 

Landed Josh Sweat.

 

Yep, Nothing but 5 star picks. I like where Jimbo is going,, going to be a great ride

 

Yea that one wasn't much of a surprise. You guys were the first choice all along I think.

O'Leary also won the best TE in the nation. For good reason. Kid is legit. Love that he doesn't wear gloves or anything. Old school.

 

According to The Oregonian, 1,500 Teaching Assistants at the University of Oregon are on strike. The main point of contention seems to be medical and maternity leave. As a result of the strike, the final grades for many students may not be submitted to the University. This could result in many students, including Oregon football players, to receive an incomplete for their final grade. Receiving an incomplete could leave football players academically ineligible to play in the Rose Bowl according to NCAA regulations.

 

If you think that will happen then I've got some ocean front property in Arizona for sale. Make you a great deal!

Students will never be penalized for instructors not doing their job. The players will play.

 

The biebers get Gary Anderson from wisconsin

 

Got to add this today


But I've devised a plan to get two more football seasons

 

That won't ever happen.

What do you think of it?

 

Curse for calling us that.
I'm actually pretty excited about it. I think he'll be a great fit and leader. I'm ready for next year already. And he's a mormon! I'll see him in church I guess, if I make it back there... haha

 

Great hire for them. What does it say about the B1G when the head coach from their second best team jumps to coach one of the weakest PAC-12 programs?

Grad school?

 

Si

 

Trying to get a national title before you leave?

 

I'd need about thirty degrees for that to happen
