An anonymous PAC 12 coach says our offense is nothing special

With the tight ends and run game being as good as they are I think we? Play a lot more power run and play action this year. OTOH babushka is still calling plays.
Pass offense and potentially pass rush are the two biggest concerns for me. Given what we are returning in those spots that's saying a lot about the team -

PPG is an awful metric to compare with especially since Oregon's games were much longer than average.BearsWiin said:
Never a top-10 ppg defense. #12 in 2010, #13 in 2013. 2009 was #52, 2011 was #52, 2012 was #25, 2014 was #31. Defenses underperformed compared to the offenses, which were top-5 ppg 2010-2014, and #8 in 2009.puppylove_sugarsteel said:
Actually Oregon defenses were good. Just ran into better teams. And when you cant control clock, and dont care to you get fickered. All about trenches. Oregon got out-trenched twice.BearsWiin said:
No, they don't forget that. They do remember that Chip's offense was really fucking good for several years, and it got them to two NC games despite having suspect defenses.YellowSnow said:
People forget that the 2010 and 14 Oregon juggernauts could only muster 19 and 20 pts respectively in their shots at the natty. It's still possible to shut down a good to great offense.BearsWiin said:5th in conference in ypg, 1st in conference in ppg. That suggests that the offense is efficient, the defense/ST scores a lot, or a little of both.
Not sure why the comment would be seen as a dig. It's a good offense so far, but this conference has seen USC and Oregon offensive juggernauts in the last dozen years. Those were special; UW's might still be.
Thing is, Oregon had good lines. Just not enough to compete with SEC lines. (tOSU had an SEC DL; and a big10 Oline).
Every metric has its flaws. I perfer MOV over straight ppg, since the objet is to score more and wiin the game, but I'm too lazy to do the math myself and I just fired my last intern. I do recall that the 1991 Huskieies had an excellent MOV.
To return to the poont, "Holy shit, that Oregon D is going to tear us a new one!" said no one, ever -
If you mean panic and throw the ball 60 times then yeah.dhdawg said:With the tight ends and run game being as good as they are I think we? Play a lot more power run and play action this year. OTOH babushka is still calling plays.

Bammer, LSU and maybe two other teams have really good d lines, or it's been like that in the past ten years. I honestly don't watch a lot of SEC football. No QB is worth anything though.PurpleBaze said:
So you admit that SEC is a superior conference.puppylove_sugarsteel said:

Media idiots saying the first six SEC teams are all better than the best Big 10 team are what people can't stand.
