Think it’s fair to say, if not blatantly obvious, that Oregon is a terrible 2nd half team.

    Maybe. It may also be we just have a bunch of kids with Helfrich/Taggs loser mentalities (as of now) and don't know how to play with a lead.

    It wasn't always pretty, but a win is a win. Tim to build on the momentum and beat the fuskies.

    Oregon isn't a good team. There might be two good teams in the conference but I'm not sold on UW yet.

    The Ducks' secondary isn't very good, so they get a big lead to the point where the other team has to throw and it hurts them. Also, with the three score lead the chart says run the ball and run, run, run/pass can be pretty easy to defend so you get some short possessions.

    If Oregon was a good team that idiot JUCO kid doesn't get a taunting penalty for making the first decent play of his career and Cal punts there, so take one score off the bored. Dye fumbles it away. Combine those two drives with the efficiency the offense runs at and it's another TD. They dropped a perfect pass on 3rd down in the red zone and missed the kick to follow it up.

    A young team with some quality veterans that don't know how to win finishes how they did tonight. A good team wins 45/49-17.

    There was obviously no hangover from Stanford as they pounded Cal from the gate. I think that speaks very positively of the coaching staff. Stanford had the hangover which isn't hard to believe. Getting up two weeks in a row for road games of that caliber is a tall order.

    UW is beyond winnable. They don't have nearly the weaponry of Stanford on offense and you can't really defend the caliber of passing Herbert is shelling out right now and UW's pass rush is garbage. If it becomes a Browning vs Herbert showdown well, you know.

    Doogs are going to throw some defensive stats at me here and I'm going to counter with you played five teams with shit offenses.

    With Oregon it depends on the matchup. I’d be concerned if I was a Washington fan, because Washington does not play into Oregon’s weakness defensively. They don’t have a qb and WRs that will overpower you. I think UW is better overall, but Oregon is not a great matchup for Washington this year.

    Who is the other possibly good team?

    Colorado?

    Stanford is good. They are winning the conference.

    Winning the conference doesn't make Stanford good.

    See 1999, 2013, and 2015 for details.

    At this point UW is the only hope for a good team.

    As noted in another thread you and Standford have both lost to the only good teams you’ve played this year.
