VAJ MVP

  What's strange is that VAJ doesn't play defense. How could the quack defense pitch a shutout in the first half and then get ass-raped for 47 thereafter?
  
  Are they so mentally weak that losing VAJ causes a team-wide collapse?

  The shocking thing to me is why Helf didn't just pound Freeman in the second half. Letting Lockie throw on first downs just kept digging them a bigger and bigger hole.

  The shocking thing to me is that they didn't recruit & develop a QB in 4 years.

  I'm surprised that you're surprised.

  They only had 5 2nd half possessions.
  
  They ran Freeman 3 out of their 4 normal drives. The final one was a "must pass situation".
  
  More quizzical was Helfrich repeating the stupidity of throwing on their 4th drive like he did against UW. The two incompletions were the difference between TCU using timeouts and the FG being potentially difficult.

  TCU shitted on themselves with penalties and poor execution on many of their first half drives ... they could have easily walked out of the half with at least a few FGs by being anything but fucktarded in the first half.
  
  2 of TCU's TDs in the 2nd half came on 4th down plays. I didn't think that Oregon's defense played particularly bad ... but they also didn't many many plays and as the TCU offense gained momentum and confidence, things started going in their direction.
  
  Still up 31 at half, you have to pretty much fail to execute in all phases of the game to go to OT and lose.

  What's even more shocking is Helf saw first hand UW piss away a W against his team with the same game plan: early Gaskin success shelved for an ineffective passing game - yet threw caution to the wind and suffered the biggest bowl choke in CFB history.

  This post from eDuck really cracked me up.
  
  "Last Ten Years, Trailing by 31 Points - Teams were 0-1,463
  
  Now 1 win and 1,463 losses"

  I'm too tired to wade through all the pure gold on their unleashed board, but this one stuck out.

  They had the ball late, up 3, starting deep in their own territory. Get a first down (maybe two), bleed clock out, and you win. This situation was made for a big back, and yet...

  That sounds great and all except for the fact that they did run their big back and got stuffed as TCU basically dared Oregon to try to beat them with the pass and decided that they were going to basically run straight up the field and either take down the RB or QB depending on who had the ball.

  Oregon has a shitty coaching staff and an accountant for an AD. The end is near.

  Who's your next team going to be? I hear Stanford is a great bandwagon for true life winners.
