Well, I expected a big loss, but not that bad. I do think that if we didn't shoot ourselves in the foot with the muffed punt and the horrible pick 6 it would have been a lot closer (until the 4th when you would have broken it open). I'm not sue what the reason is, but Price has regressed this year. It might be that he just thinks he's going to get hit every snap, but last year he was much more accurate on those quick slant type routs. He was missing guys by yards or throwing to ASJ at his ankles. Hopefully he gets it together the rest of the season.
I think next week against USC will be tough for us and it probably goes their way, but OSU still looks like a win to me. After the USC game I think we can win out and finish the season with 3 losses (or 4 if we lose the bowl game).
Oh, and it had no bearing on the outcome, but the decision on the 2 fumbles (one for each team) was bullshit. On yours, they blew the whistle well after the ball was loose. On ours, our guy was clearly stopped before he fumbled. Either they both should have been ruled fumbles or neither. But, it didn't really matter so i can't be too mad at the calls.
I'll root for UO from here on out. I really want to see you guys matched up against Alabama. I think since last year against LSU you've gotten a lot better against the physical nature of the SEC and could pull it out. Plus, we could hear Saban whine some more about the hurry up offense.
