Coke is right, VAJ's style doesn't fit oregon that well. They've been primarily an uptempo zone read spread option offense for a long time and he's not a true running threat. VAJ is fun to watch, but in that offense is a bit blue waffle.
I say LIPO with Adams still. The main point here is he isn't and won't be Marcus Mariotta or anywhere close to him. Which is what he was getting hyped up to be.
Tequilla was right in regards to that UW game. He just threw up some crazy passes where it honestly look liked he just let it rip and prayed the WR would catch it and they would land perfectly in stride in our TERRIBLE secondary at the time.
The Ducks had a Ferrari last year in Mariotta. For Helfrich he was like what Newton was to Chizik. Except we all know how differently the stories ended.

I was probably the biggest defender of Hogan during the off season. Shaw has really fucked that offense up. I still think he has all the tools to be successfull...Stanford was a dark horse contender coming into the season and it appears Shaw is smug enough to let the hype get into his teams ears.

"Third, Oregon's offense has never been known as a team that runs a diverse passing tree in their passing game. The success that they have had in the passing game is IMO much more system driven and tied to the success of their running game forcing teams to sell out versus the run and then be exposed over the top in the passing game. "
Spot on with the comment. Oregon's offense in it's infancy was all about the read zone. Then it progressed to the qb handing it off to one of their stable of rb's w/ the occasional threat of the qb keeping it.
Under Mariotta, they used that threat to have cb's/safeties suck up to stop the run allowing the ducks wr's/te's run free. If you can stomach it, go watch the highlights of the team from Eugene's scoring plays and count how many times on their passing td's guys are running 10 yards free. It's the majority of them.
I'm sure Oregon State wishes they had Mannion back (now on the Rams).
Not this boov. No fucking way. DAO. Collins is the real deal.
Call it irrational exuberance and LIFPO. Abundance.
Collins is like nothing we've seen in Corvallis. Dude runs like a cheetah and throws the deep ball extremely well. He just needs a little more tim at this level he'll be the next Cam Newton.

(in before @CanardFS)
Everyone was saying it.
Hogan isn't the problem at Stanford right now.
He's completing only 55.9% of his passes and is averaging a measly 5 yards per attempt and his other game was against Weber State.
How is he the real deal with numbers like that so far?
