Autzen Audibles

First I'm not ready to move on...haven't turned on the tv, looked at espn, rewatched the game. Shut everything off and played with my kids for the rest of the weekend before school starts. Anyway, more to the point, I think it will be very difficult to get a whole lot of satisfaction from this next game. We could beat them 250-0 and it won't erase our flop last game. Also it won't teach us too much as I expect darron to have more time, the OLine should mash these guys, LMJ, kb, DaT will have room. All our athletes will far outshine the kids Nevada runs out against us. So basically anything but a drubbing will be a disappointment.

Okay, still showing my frustration...sorry. 1st and foremost I'd like to see if DT can actually run the ball. Only kept the ball twice against LSU. Very important to me. Secondly I'd like to see his accuracy improve and also see him throw with more finesse in short routes. He was throwing darts at guys 3 yards downfield...difficult to catch that type of ball. 3rd I'd love to eliminate the drops and also see a few more playmakers on the field. Lyerla, Vaughn, maybe Blackmon, a healthy Huff. 4th I would really like to see what KB has in him and I don't want him fielding punts. Heels on the 10 is remedial school knowledge for punt returning and he just couldn't stop himself. 5th...more DaT. But, with some serious ball security! Tuck the ball when running free. We need to learn if he can take the hits and hold the ball. 6th keep TMitchell in as he needs the game time reps for experience. I am and was happy with the defense except for it seemed we didn't get to the passer enough.

I would like for them to come out and execute! No, not execute Nevada. Don't know about making changes, will that solve anything? Or is time as a cohesive unit what's needed?

45-0 at halftime... They are going to take out all of their frustrations on the Wolfpack. Sorry Nevada. Thanks for coming. 63-3.

Iam going to be in victoria bc this weekend..any way to get the game on the internet?

Really loving the analysis in here so far. Good stuff folks and some new posters sharing thoughts. Love it!

What has bothered me is a recurring feeling I got about mid-way in 2010. I felt even in the middle of the season, I and others, felt that Oregon was 'holding back' on plays. It was discussed, but it seemed to be a consensus that it was simply Oregon 'hiding' plays for big games.

We talk about all this team speed and the potential for so many different plays, yet I feel we rarely see the defense stretched. Mis-direction, QB options/fakes, reverses, sweeps... all these things that I feel we have an advantage in running to open up RB holes doesnt really seems to be there. For the opposing team defense the plan should be just stuff the hell out the middle with 7 and have all DBs play the quick in or out. The one real solid mis-direction vs LSU (IMO limited FB opinion) netted a wide open pitch and catch for a TD.

Maybe its just me, but the offense feels like it is narrowed down to a couple of base plays, lacks aggressiveness to utilize our speed to breakdown defenses, keep them off balanced and open up the running holes for the RBs.

And if the Ducks down win the next 2 games by over 100 combined points I will be surprised.

NEVADA - They had an NFL QB in 2010 and that's it. Their may have a very good coach, but this team has been going nowhere in recruiting for 8 years. They recruit far under even a Wazzu level. If the game is close it is because Oregon is not executing its offense and turning the ball over again.

Say the best case scenario happens and Oregon rallies to go up 45-0 at the half or something out of hand. Does Chip pull the starters or get more valuable game time for the 1's?

Thoughts?

pull the starters...46 true and redshirt freshmen. We need to start stockpiling experience 3 deep!
