The first two drives they were running a single back power run set with a sniffer which no one would prepare for being that they are an air raid team. They adjusted and that was over.
The WR's played way better than they did last year up to the point of catching the ball. That's the #1 job so until that improves the little things don't matter and they suck.
Herbert is fucking ridiculous. It's a shame this is the era of Oregon football he will be tied to. He is better than Mariota.
McCormick broke his leg which means the TE position at the LOS will be awful again. That's a bigger loss than most realize.
The secondary didn't play all that poorly. There are really only two ways to defend the air raid with a lot of success and that's to break the WR's which Nick Saban starter or to break the QB which Mike Stoops started. Leavitt does neither of those and it shows as his D struggles against it.
Turdmeister still hasn't earned the right to be called by his real name yet. Shough should get some run in one of the next two games.
The game was treated like a scrimmage from the start as it should have been. My overall prediction stays the same. Wazzu, Stanford and Cal are better than I thought they would be and UA, UW, and UCLA are worse than I thought they would be.

You just lost to fucking B.Y.U.
He even pulled away from their outside linebacker on one of his longer runs.
I heard McCormicks injury was "significant" but it was his foot. Regardless Kano, Bay and Webb need to step up. It was fortuitous that we picked up Kano as a Grad Transfer. He is a beast 6' 5" 256lbs.
Fuck off Mosster. There is nothing to analyze. Oregon beat a shitty team.
Like Oregon

Why Heisman Favorite Marcus Mariota Received Only One Scholarship Offer
http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/road-saturday/201412/no-one-recruited-heisman-favorite-marcus-mariota-because-he-lived-hawaii
https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/uw-husky-football/oregon-quarterback-marcus-mariota-considered-huskies-before-signing-with-ducks/
"On the flight from Seattle back home to Hawaii three years ago, Marcus Mariota made a decision.
“Mom,” he said, “I’m going to be a Husky.”
“He was a fantastic player in camp,” Sarkisian said. “He hadn’t started on his high school football team quite yet, so there was some hesitation on our part, quite honestly, in evaluating him.”
Indeed, Mariota didn’t start at Honolulu’s St. Louis High School until his senior season. Oregon offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich, now in his first season as the successor to Chip Kelly as the UO head coach, was one of the first recruiters to discover Mariota before the quarterback’s senior season.
“It was certainly bizarre,” Helfrich said Tuesday of recruiting Mariota. “I think he was an unknown because he didn’t play. … And the more you talked with people around the high school and the football team, he kind of just took on this legendary-like status of just a great person, great student. And then to watch him play; I can remember calling Chip and going, ‘This guy’s unbelievable.’
“And then we made the decision to offer (a scholarship) from there and the rest, as they say, is history.”
*****************************************************************
A three-star recruit, Mariota wasn’t even offered a scholarship by Hawaii, his hometown school.
*****************************************************************
“When I first started getting attention from Oregon, I was pretty surprised,” he said.
The decision between the Huskies and Ducks (5-0), the two rival schools, came down to “the whole package of Oregon,” he said. “That whole process was an interesting one, and I’m thankful that things turned out the way they did.”
The redshirt sophomore, listed at 6 feet 4, 211 pounds, with a 4.48-second 40-yard time, has 21 touchdowns (14 passing, seven rushing) and no interceptions. He hasn’t played a single snap in the fourth quarter this season for an Oregon offense averaging 59.2 points.
“Credit to Oregon, they went for it on him before we did,” Sarkisian said. “We tried to come in late and he stuck with his commitment to Oregon. He’s a heck of a player for them. What can you say?”
You said he only had one other offer, but literally linked to 2 separate sources saying he had an offer from Memphis and UW....your own links say you’re wrong.
In BGSU's last 13 games, only 3 teams have rushed for fewer yards than Oregon did. That's fucking pathetic.
In 35 carries by the RBs, the long run was 15 yards.
Herbert was Oregon's leading rusher until the 2nd to last series of the game.
We? have a bottom half of the conference LB corps again.
It was super awesome watching a senior safety and pre season AA junior LB fail to cover a dude with 6 seconds left in the half. There were 3 defenders and 2 route runners and all 3 defenders took the same guy. Fucking brilliant.
The secondary didn't play poorly, but BGSU's only WR had a career fucking night in receptions and yards? 13 for 166 and 2 tugs. Imagine what's going to happen against Furd if they do "play poorly".
Also you or someone said people came in late. Washington, realizing their mistake came in late. I believe they were the only ones. So in the end the future Heisman trophy winner had 3 offers. That sure is much more significant.
