Oregon Didn't Read Hayden Fry's Book

[Stallion]

screw you Phil Knight. Apparently everybody on this board missed a great game late Thursday.

[SMU89]

We were at Red River

did my name come up?

Oregon is weak

[PoconoPony]

Oregon has experience issues on the O line and had trouble protecting the QB. In addition, the Oregon defense is somewhat average. They rely on the potent offense to score 35 plus to make up for the defense giving up 25 or more points. Last night they were exposed by a solid AZ team who made less mistakes. A controversial unsportsman like penalty was called on an Oregon corner after a sack with less than 3 minutes and a tied score. He jumped up raising his hands then bowed to the Oregon student section. He was flagged giving AZ a first down on the Oregon 8 yard line allowing them to score the winning TD instead of trying a 40 yd. field goal with an inexperienced kicker.

I also find it interesting that Houck at Michigan had 2 good years with Rodriguez recruits before running into real trouble this year. Now, Rodriguez has started to restock AZ who is 5-0 on the season and this team will vie for the PAC 10 title. Expect Oregon to lose at least 1 more conference game as they will not make it through USC, UCLA or Stanford.

Oregon doesn't play USC in the regular season, but they go to UCLA next week and host Stanford on 11/1. Arizona hosts USC next week and plays at UCLA on 11/1.

Red River is a cesspool of trash. Gross.

Otherwise referred to as easy pickins

Not to be confused with slim pickins.

Missed the game but I found a decent wine bar in KILLEEN TEXAS of all places.


Don't hate, councelor. I didn't choose the Thug Life. Thug Life choose me.

[SMU 86]

Most of Oregon's starting offensive line is injured.

[leopold]

Sounds like it was a good game.

What's telling, however, is that if you take a look at the comments in the ESPN article about the game it takes about 2 seconds to see the SEC debate begin, and it comes from people who aren't SEC fans.

That conference is in everybody's head.

[ponyswim]

At some point in the pregame or game commentary, it was mentioned that Oregon has the worst OLine in the country (injuries/inexperience, etc.)
Obviously those commentators have not seen SMU.
You think Michigan is wishing Rich Rod was their coach?

[leopold]

Yeah, thought about that myself. Looks like RichRod is gonna win this one.
