Jake Browning's Decline Turning Stanford-Oregon Showdown into Battle for Pac-12


"Week 4's clash between Stanford and Oregon initially seemed like a battle to stay relevant in the Pac-12 North chase. Suddenly, the showdown has larger implications.
Since the division is less settled than anticipated, the winner will claim an essential victory for future tiebreaking purposes. Given the state of the three programs, an outright winner in the North seems unlikely. Washington looks beatable."

"Jake Browning's decline"
Welcome to November, 2016 -
Some of us predicted a 3 -4 loss year several months ago. By some of us, I mean me. I’m always right.

3 cupcake wins and Oregon is back to being a powerhouse. Stanford should push them around and run all over them
-
No one had ever seen Jake play until Auburn apparently
Now you hear this all over - UW is vulnerable due to the QB among other issues -
+2 for stanford is probably the easiest money I'll make this year.

Eh, Oregon's run D is solid and they're healthy up front. Where they're going to get fucked is in the defensive secondary and on offense.BeerThirty said:3 cupcake wins and Oregon is back to being a powerhouse. Stanford should push them around and run all over them

Justin Herbert has faced the following three defenses:
Bowling Green: 123rd among FBS teams in total defense
San Jose State: 124th among FBS teams in total defense
Portland State: 101st among FCS teams in total defense
Yet among PAC12 QBs he is ranked:
Tied for first in interceptions, with 4
Tied for 11th in completion percentage, 57.3%
He does lead the conference in TD passes (12) and yards per attempt (10.4). But his adjusted QBR is only 72.2
Byron Murphy, Jordan Miller, and Taylor Rapp are going to terrorize him. -
They're not wrong that Browning's "decline" (how do you decline when you always sucked?) has made our team vulnerable. But they're not accounting for the fact that Stanford and Oregon suck more than we do.

Stanford is better than us.
