One of the most disturbing things from yesterday

DerekJohnson

In the game's final minutes, the players looked like they were trudging through a practice

No competitive fire, no urgency, no nothing...

Morris looked extremely panicked to me. Quite the opposite of the glowing news articles about how he always bounces back and has ice in the veins.

This isn't an excuse to not bludgeon an FCS team at home, but players don't want to play in these games, coaches don't want to coach in them, and fans don't want to watch. Sucks for the Portland States of the world but this is just a bad product even when UW bulldozes them.

This game reminded me of 2014 when we were losing to Georgia State at half. I believe the coaches absolutely crushed them in the locker room. Wonder what was said at half last night. Too bad we don't have a Marcus Peters to come out and just beast the other team's receivers out of frustration.

We also nearly lost to Eastern. Twice.

Oregon clearly didn't want to play Fresno yesterday. But in the final 10 minutes, they were like OH SHIT WE GOTTA GET GOING, and they went balls out and won in the end. We never had that moment.

What is going on with the receivers? How do at least 3 of the top receivers go down before the first real game is played and another goes down after the first drive? Either they are fragile mentally and physically and can't take any punishment or they are silently boycotting the offensive playbook. Already lost at least 3 "top" receivers to the portal during the offseason too possibly due to the same reason. Morris has had a lot of adjustments to make with all the different receiver going in and out of the rotation. I recommend a conditioning program for the remaining healthy receivers via diet and exercise (kind of kidding but not really).

Haener fumbling certainly helped. And 17 points off turnovers on Oregon’s side. Don’t twist.

Lake should have won this game easily with his entire second unit and a Tecmo Bowl playbook.

Haener wasn't the reason they lost, if that's what your troll attempt is trying to convey

Not trolling. But when the QB fumbles when you need a little spark, that certainly helps.

Agree. Oregon won the game because they finally started running the football with success.

Oregon was letting Haener throw as much as he wanted, wherever he wanted. That got them to a 21-6 lead. Then Foot off the gas which IMO is the sign of a shitty team anyway so don’t twist.

As soon as they needed to shut it down, they dropped the zone coverage on D and got their balls together and just ran it at them. If we’re not counting fumbles and takeaways this year I’d like to know, now.

I still think they suck. The QB sucks and the RBs suck and Mario has turned Moorehead into Arroyo.
I thought that before the game and I think it now.

Oregon and Washington are still favorites for the North.

It’s quite possible that Moorhead sucks

Oregon is better than Washington but don't quote me.

The rest of the conference does look like the usual dumpster fire other than my Bruins

Losses to Nevada, Utah State, BYU, and of course Montana

Call it Oregon v UCLA

Completely agree. I think he has already lost the team.

They play slow with no energy. It’s like a different sport watching other teams.

Mario has turned Moorehead into Arroyo. You just articulated in 6 words what I've spent about 5 posts trying to say.

Could be, but the one constant with both Moorehead and Arroyo is Mario and it's amazing how both OC's "offenses" look like each others.

I’m also extrapolating based on how Moorhead left Mississippi St

I wouldn't know. PAC12 using Sling cut away to the Coug pre-game in the final minutes

The most concerning thing I saw yesterday was how much better Shough looked away from MC/moorehead

Where were you when your Bruins were 10-21 after Chip’s first two season’s at UCLA?

Where were you last year when your Bruins went 3-4 during the COVID shortened season?
