RoadDawg55 is right.

Forgotten in the great run by Oregon last night was the dear in the headlights start.

No offense Race, but in this situation you are rationalizing to the conclusion you want to draw.

Alabama looked like they were going to get boat raced against Auburn, and their QB was looking more like Vinny in the 86 Fiesta than anyone I've seen since. Kid was throwing garbage ints and Bama was shitting the bed against Malzone.

So have we forgotten that? Does a bad quarter and a half look bad only when it's Oregon?

Come on. They left 28 pts. on the board just falling asleep playing in the rain on recently-replaced turf. Lots of jumping and stupid shit, but it's not like they were being overwhelmed.

And their D did not look like a dear from the beginning through the end.

You're reaching here.

Thanks for making my point. Helfrich was rattled and so was his team.81% of the time when you have 250 yards and 6 points while dominating TOP you lose.

The Duck defense bailed them out and I give them credit for that. But they still were rattled and a good team could have got them

Bama has nothing to do with it. You want to duck Oregon's dick it's fine with me. I'm libertarian like that

There's a reason they play the full 60 minutes, but you know that right?

there is no interest in dick here my freng. but tanks for being so open minded. you're good that way.

my point is just simple: Oregon, depending on which Oregon shows up and depending on whether they can get some healthy linemen ready, could give Bama some trouble. Could be a route on Oregon, who knows? But something tells me no.

I think their QB is the real deal, and I think they have a RB who gives them a physical element who can influence/change how Ds staff the box. they're not just trying to contain La Mike, Kenjon or Thomas - this kid is freight train my friend, a freight train who can move, has nice feet and vision (compare his choices to Tyner's who tends to run into his blockers) and likes the contact.

the latter point makes Oregon different than they've been in a while. and with those two basic elements in place, Oregon has other players they can use to hurt as they keep you playing them honest.

but yeah, if the opposing D line is in Mariota's face on every play, and Oregon doesn't scheme around that by rolling him out and stretching the D line and tiring the phat boys, then it's a long day for the ducks.
