Poor Oregon defense.

1 play, TD, back out on the field.

Shit, we play 20 guys on defense. I'm sure they love getting out there.

Barner up to 195 yards.

One thing is for sure, we are dynamite in the red zone on defense.

Yeah, we're adding strength to go with our speed.

Oregon might be winning by huge margins, but they still look like they have a ton of room to improve.

Agreed.

 

[Natebishop3]

The defense doesn't have nearly as much to work on as the offense does. If we ever find a true rhythm, I think this team will be unstoppable on offense.

that would scare me more than anything as an opposing coach

Or it gives hope as we have a lot of areas to expose.

you being worried might be Oregon's good luck charm. Thinking opponents are gaining confidence while seeing Duck foes getting crushed by 3-4 TDs when Oregon isn't really playing well seems a stretch... don't hurt those tender hammies of yours!

I'm just glad we've had a softball schedule so far. It has given our young guys time to get some experience and work out the kinks. Fortunately the defense is already playing at mid-season form.

I know. I'm always worried about my Ducks. Maybe I over respect the other teams.

I'm not going to lie. I've been spoiled by the team over the last couple years so it's hard to watch us make simple errors.

I don't expect us to be this meniacal jugernaut steam roling everyione we play. I also know teams make mistakes- and sometimes costly ones. That's football. But I also don't expect the #2 team in the nation to make repeated mistakes on read/option plays, a near inability to make a good hand off, consistent poor punting and some other things. I see a fair amount of room for general improvement as we've been beating up patsies. .

Kind of a 'meh' game to be at. Other than some horrible calls against Oregon in the first half, it would have been a blow-out. Hardly any blitzes by the defense, and basically just sat back in a zone and waited until Wazzu made mistakes or missed on passes.

Still, it was cute seeing the Wazzu fans thinking they still had a chance at half-time, and their fanbase is 1000000x better than the fans of the team that actually lives in Seattle.
