That should reveal why it escapes you, and me.creepycoug said:We lost 59 to 24, maybe 59 to 14 ... depending on how a few calls go.
The touchback was a good call, but it was self-imposed by Oregon, not by us.
Lowe was wide open - I catch that pass and walk in for 6.
Almost as embarassingly as when Chip did it for his mancrush, Helfrich killed the clock with 6 or 7 minutes to go.
The truth is, they could have scored 70 on us with only slightly different circumstances that have nothing to do with our play, and they basically kept Sankey in check but for two plays.
If all you're going to call Oregon is "good", then we are crap.
If we're a good team, then they are historically great.
I'm sorry. The Sarksilverlining that you see entirely escapes me.

Why don't more people understand this. 5-4 = 5-4 = 5-4 = 5-4 .Tequilla said:
Sark should be fired if he goes 5-4 in conference for the fourth year in a row. 6-3 barely buys him one more year.
If there was ever a year to get to a hollow 9-4 it was last year with a depleted offensive line (Great Recruiting as Always) and a first year DC with an improving defense.
This year 5-4 is a huge failure with a 5th year senior good QB and all conference tailback with an above average defense.
Things are not going to be better next season breaking in a new QB. -
Funny thing is, if OSU was UW, you'd have the exact opposite view....TierbsHsotBoobs said:

9-4 and the season is a failure. 10-3 passes.
Will be favored against OSU and should split ASU/UCLA. Thats 9-3, win the bowl for 10 wins.
Winning out would show real progress, but thats only realistic if you win this weekend.
Sadly, I agree with greenblood and would guess 9-4 at this point.
I don't even think UW will be favored against OS. The Beavers will likely be 7-3 going into that game and could be 8-2 if they beat Stanford at home or win at ASU. Unlike the Huskies, the Beavers have actually proven they can win on the road in the Pac-12.
By the way, I'm 100% sure UW won't win out if they don't win this weekend.
OSU has played the 69th schedule, UW #7, according to Sagarin. Yeah the win over Utah looks good but their schedule is back loaded. They'll lose to Stanford, USC and ASU and be 6-4. Then they'll lose to UW & UO.
OSU is 10th in total defense (ypp) and rush defense (ypc), 9th in scoring D and last in rush offense. This is a team that is going to really struggle later in the season because they have a shit defense and the worst run game in the conference. -
OSU isn't losing all three of those games. Two of them are at home. USC hates playing in the state of Oregon.HeretoBeatmyChest said:

Great Dooging as always though. -

OSU is about the same place they were when the Huskies didn't show up to play the last time in Corvallis.HeretoBeatmyChest said:

Same coach, different outcome? Insanity. -

Sark should be fired if he goes 5-4 in conference for the fourth year in a row. 6-3 barely buys him one more year.
If it wasn't for those meddling refs in Palo Altos, 6-3 would have been possible. -

So what I'm seeing in the College Football Matrix is that the baseline for the program this year ranged between 9-3 and 10-2 ...
I felt that 10-2 was the best case scenario for the year going into it ... and that looks to be consistent w/ the Matrix ... it was possibly too optimistic in thinking we'd get Oregon at home.
The matrix makes sense strictly from a Jimmy and Joe standpoint ...
