Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Mark Helfrich Fucking Stupid, Todd Graham Even More Fucking Stupid
Helfrich and Frost ran the ball 28 times in a 3OT game, for a 6.64 YPC average, 41 pass attempts.
Royce Freeman touched the ball 15 FUCKING TIMES, and still rushed for 119.

It was a really weird game. Arizona State is one of the least penalized teams in football, but not last night. It also seemd like every penalty was at a crucial spot. For example the personal foul penalty when Oregon's drive had stalled. The illegal procedure penalties usually aren't a huge deal, except it seemed like they showed up everytime ASU got into the Oregon red zone.
Bevill thought the play calling in the thrid overtime was horrible. ASU is running down Oregon's throat, and they decide to throw not once but twice inside the three yard line? And even worse, they same exact route? What was even more amazing the receiver was open, but he didn't look for the ball.
And yeah, the only coaching staff that is worse than UO's was ASU's. Just horrible.
They probably saw on film that ASU has really stymied SC, UCLAs and Utahs run games. My Broons lost to ASU largely because of how stubborn they were with the run, and SC ditched the run early.
Not an original thought, but imagine Oregon without VA. They'd be 2-6. Absent another VA, next year could be ugly for them.
If only one of those went in...
They score on the play
Petersen is a pussy
There's this thing called a box score on ESPN.com. Here, I'll past a portion of it for you:
Oregon Rushing
CAR YDS AVG TD LONG
Royce Freeman 15 112 7.5 2 64
Kani Benoit 3 66 22.0 1 62
Darren Carrington 1 21 21.0 0 21
Bralon Addison 1 2 2.0 0 2
Vernon Adams Jr. 8 -15 -1.9 0 10
TEAM 28 186 6.6 3 64
When you have the running backs Oregon has, and they're actually making yards, you keep feeding them until the other teams adjusts to take it away, at which point other things will, no doubt, be available.
Oregon did plenty to help out ASU. Carrington dropped a wide open TD, and their stupid fucking coaches went away from the run when it was there pretty much all night. Plus, those SUPER FS trick plays, which blew up, and the wildcat to Addison, which also blew up.
The bottom line is you had two teams that can't play D, and one of them has to win. That's the only explanation you need for that game. The rest is irrelevant. ASU didn't hand the game away any more than Oregon did. It's a game set up so that someone has to win eventually.
