Ducks 1 td third qtr in 8 games.
We better dial it up.
And Lanning said it wasn’t a weakness. Like he said that fake field goal wasn’t a bad call. Like bruh stubbornness isn’t a good coaching trait, acknowledging areas of improvement is.
 
it wasn't pretty, but the Ducks got off the field without giving up points. Held serve. Would go a long ways to drive 80 yards for a TD. Big ask though
 
Pretty sure our entire D Line is NFL caliber. Like it’s pretty much a NFL line against college kids for UW.
 
I'm not sure it's a good idea to keep Gabriel in the game at this point

might be both backup QB's can't play without losing their redshirt
 
Is anyone else surprised by how little innovation we're seeing from Chip Kelly and OSU?

When Chip had it rolling at Oregon it was always fun to think about what he could do with the next level up of talent. He has that talent at OSU and nothing. Yes, I know OSU has injuries but they didn't when they played Oregon. Chip is just burned out and done. Kinda sad.

he caught lightning in a bottle at Oregon. Opponents didn't have a handle on defending the Spread with power run like Chip was using, and they sure as shit didn't know how to defend the spread + tempo. Chip innovated the two merged and also had innovative practices. But defenses learned how to stop the spread and they learned ho to defend tempo. In no small part because most offenses were using variations of both

Chip couldn't find any more silver bullets. He was still a decent coach, but he was a poor recruiter and had no patience for wealthy alums (except Phil Knight). He was 46-7 at Oregon and has been 63-69 since he left, in both the NFL and at UCLA. That's not the record of a great coach

Chip has also switched to a slower more NFL style playcalling in hopes of getting back in the NFL. I think if he went back to his playcalling ways of Oregon he'd be much more successful even today.

Ohio State went into the game against Oregon healthy but lost star LT Josh Simmons for the year in the 2nd quarter. They also lost their RG for much of the game and a TE. Since then they also lost their Center for the year.

Injuries are part of football but as it's been noted, Oregon has fared really well avoiding their share of them this year. For a team to win it all they have to be talented, well coached & more then a little bit lucky.

Chip had some decent offensive assistants at Oregon.

He did. He also created a system every team in the nation now makes sure they can defend against. Literally every team practices or at least uses some of the methods Chip came up with and used on the regular. Thinking Chip is done or washed up seems a bit obtuse to me. Obviously the Buckeyes were dealing with some pretty devastating injuries this year.

This is how Chip has been for a while.

He's the football equivalent of a one hit wonder. He took a system that was new and fresh and rode that sucker to success. But he hasn't done shit since then.

I also think a HUGE component of those Chip teams was simply conditioning. That's why it took a couple years for it to pop with our team. It took that long for OUR guys to get into the level of conditioning to run the offense to the fullest. It's also why we were a second half team. The opposing defense would be so tired by the second half that we would just blow the doors off them. But teams adapted.
