Barner was smart not to declare for the NFL last year. He keeps this up and he'll be a 3rd round draft pick.

Yeah, he didn't stand to gain much by going pro. He needed to get out from behind James' shadow.

Also there were a ton of really good RB who declared last year. I think Barner might have gone undrafted.
 
I'm a little surprised because we were known as a second half team and we're sucking right now.
 
The past few years we've had a team that put their foot on the gas and never let off. This team seems to coast in the second half and it's not going well.
 
We came out looking asleep, those two turn overs have really reeved the team back up. Maybe we'll see some exciting plays now.
 
This has not been a good day..... injuries to York and Huff. Looking like shit.
 
I said it before, but the team looked deflated a bit after Huff went down.
 
What happened to the pass? They're obviously gunning for the run, so we need to air it out.
 
I hate to say it, but I think USC is going to eat us alive.

To early to say. Defiantly aren't as good as our first game seemed to dictate but we got a month and a half to get our consistency down for USC.
 
The announcers don't know that this is what Oregon does when they want to slow it down and milk clock. Do your homework nubs!
 
some horrible horrible plays by our D to pretty much give Fres a TD.
 
If we have Natty aspirations this season, we have to play better agains teams like Fresno State. Our defense was hyped this season, but so far, I'm not seeing anything special. It's solid, but hasn't looked great.

For the 1st quarter and a half vs. AKS Mariota sliced and diced their defense with the pass, and this game, hardly anything was attempted down field.

Defending the run and short dink passes aren't so difficult if you're not worried about defending anything else. Also, Ducks need to use Colt Lyerla more in the passing game!

I agree. I don't know why they don't use Colt more.
 
I wish i had something to contribute to this thread, but i couldn't watch or listen to the game because Directv hates Oregon sports teams.
 
havent seen the whole game yet... watching on DVR but safe to say I know the outcome. I am reading complaining about the lack of passing, lack of this, and that... let me ask you this. Why the crap would Chip Open up the playbook when they are fine and ahead against this competition with limited plays being run. I read that in the opener Oregon only ran 9 different plays. Opening up everything against patsies doesnt benefit Oregon at all, it just gives conference foes more to prepare for.
 
Thomas has shown a pretty good stiff arm today

I'm merely asking that he go to the air when they are stacked against the run. Chip can be pretty stubborn about sticking to the run even when it's not working.

I understand what you're saying.. but again what benefit would it give Oregon other than making the score prettier. Mariota is inexperienced.. Oregon is a run first zone read team.. from what I saw Mariota. Got quite bit of experience with decision making in the zone read last night. 565 total yards of offense while being predictable with the play calling and not showing your hand to future opponents? You'll have to excuse me if I'm a little amused by complaints. We are def spoiled as Oregon fans that's for sure :)
