Leach and the “speed” defense
He needs to scrap it. I LOVE Leach and I get why he is going with that defense. However, Oregon just started moving their DL laterally and would wash out 3 player in the process.
I know it’s tough to get prototypical DL but they don’t have to settle for 250 DL in an odd front.

Now what about the point of the topic?
Don't remember any other damning calls. Lots of physical play and shit talking down to inferior talent. Meat couldn't keep his mouth shut either.
The crew messed up basic procedural calls/took way too long on discussions/replays all night (that crew is the worst in the Pac 12).
Worst call of the night was on Wazzu's go ahead drive.
2nd and 10, Lenoir broke on the ball for an int and the Coug wide receiver turned defender and somehow drug him down. They called PI on Lenoir.
If the right call is made--2nd and 25 at their own 15. Instead, it was 1st and 10 at the 40.
I don't think the refs almost cost Oregon the game, because (especially in the Pac12) you always have to assume the refs are going to suck and keep the other team out of striking distance where a bad call would make the difference between winning and losing. But that was an absurdly bad call.
1:56:50.
Like I said incredibly slight. If the DE didn't notice and come across the line, wouldn't have been called.
2014. Moving the ball downfield and unstoppable all 2nd half. Game ended on this play. It happens every game. Oregon isn’t special in this regard.
Also,
On the Sewell phantom flinch, they kept showing the only angle any of us saw. If you have another angle, use your considerable computer skills and post it for us.
Blaming the wefs is dumb; agreed. That said, every single poster on this board does it when the calls are of critical importance based on game/time circumstances.
But if you're going to talk about luck, then you have to talk about ALL the luck, which includes instances of Pac 12 refs not knowing what they're doing. Not just the instances that are selectively convenient to you.
Maybe if you'd spent some time in Savery Hall with the rest of us while taking a logical reasoning classes you'd be better prepared to have an even-handed discussion.
Compare that to Dawgman where there were 15 threads "OMG PI!!!".
On the Sewell flinch, I'm not convinced the refs saw anything. They saw an indignant defensive player throwing a fit to sell it and took a guess.
The Oregon WSU game was horrendous throughout. The zebras took over the game.
They do it here. Everybody but one or two posters will indulge. It's just the way it goes.
My point was that you can't cherry pick by focusing on one unlucky thing (the opposing coach being retarded) and not the others (the PI call was super bad and very untimely).
The other thing about Leach and using the clock is this: his is a rythm offense if there ever was one and much of its success is predicated on getting people out into routes quickly. He doesn't want to sit there in formation and give the defense a lot of time to sit there and stare at you and think about where you're going with the ball. Especially on quick slant routes, you want to get to the LOS and snap the ball. So I'm not entirely sure he was being retarded and think it more likely he was just running his offense.
None of this matters at all btw.
One thing I'm fairly convinced of: while Oregon's O line clearly run blocks well, they are going to be fucked if Verdell gets an injury that keeps him off the field for any length of time. Dye is a change-up kid and Habbibbi is a limited athlete. Oregon is still short on elite skill position guys. They need to recruit RBs like crazy. I don't know why they don't feed Darian Felix at all. Like, zero carries. He's as fast as Dye and bigger. On a more positive note, it looks like the Penn State kid showed up and Herbert has found him. That's a good development for the Ducks.
