Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Finally viewed the UCLA-Oregon replay.

The Bruins' passing game looked out of sync the whole game. Hundley was erratic, threw into coverage a lot, and his vaunted WRs didn't do shit to help him out. (Sound familiar?)
Even so -- and despite their well documented OL woes -- UCLA absolutely ran the ball at will on the Ducks: 328 rush yards, 6.1 yds/carry, 11-19 third down efficiency, 2-2 fourth down efficiency, and a nearly 2:1 TOP margin. The Bruins outgained Oregon by every offensive measure. I would not have guessed this at all from the score and highlights.
It's not news that Oregon has a vulnerable defense. But they really got manhandled in this game. UW should be able to run consistently on them -- Miles included. If you can limit their big plays, Oregon looks to me like an extremely beatable team.

260 of UCLA's 550-odd yards were in garbage time. Yes, we shouldn't have closed up shop at the start of the fourth quarter. But we did, because of Don Pellum's conversion to the Nation of Islam.

Problem is that the game just seemed over after Hundley coughed it up and they scored.

He's a disgrace as a Muslim. Does ISIS take its foot off the gas? Never. There's nothing worse than a mediocre Muslim.AZDuck said:260 of UCLA's 550-odd yards were in garbage time.

UCLA was running at will in the first half too. Especially Hundley. Then Perkins had a big third quarter.
I agree with everything @AZDuck wrote (in another thread) about UO's tackling and gap integrity issues. @Damone has been asking when UW is going to play another defense as shitty as Cal's. I think the answer is *this week*. -

Our defense is godawful, that's for sure. I just think that UW's offense is worse. Even more aggravating from my point of view is that we will make Miley Cyrus look like a good QB. He will have his best day, statistically speaking, since the EWU game. Still, your lack of a running game or recievers with non-igneous hands will prevent UW from capitalizing.

You might be right (although I think you're underestimating UW's ground game). I don't see Oregon covering a -21, though. -
Agree. We're not going to cover. Halfrich is also shitty ATS
-
I like the doogs in this one.
Seriously, I do. I'm drinking the kool-aid.
Our d-line is only giving up 3.1 yards per rushing attempt, and I think our secondary is VASTLY improved since the start of the year.
If we score over 28, we will win this game. I don't think Oregon scores more than that. -
if by beatable you mean we'll hang with them til halftime and then get run by 35 in the 2nd half, I agree.

Coach Pete can always resort to the Nick Holt Blueprint
