Obviously we've seen some pretty encouraging things from Mariota, DAT, and I really like Marshall.... but man this team is playing with its head up its ass. Late hits. Interceptions. Fielding punts that have no business being fielded. Block in the backs. I haven't seen this many mental errors from the Ducks since Chip took over. Just very very sloppy football. I guess it's just the inexperience of the team showing through, but this team better mature-up real fast or some of the better PAC12 teams will eat them alive.
Oregon better focus or AZ could sneak in to Autzen and cause problems.... I still don't like our secondary play...... and spotting another team damn near a 100 yards in penalties is just dumb!!!
The ducks had two turnovers, nine penalties and a blocked field goal in the first half. They are not done tuning out their kinks.
Agreed, but it's still a bit troubling. Slouching against inferior competition hasn't been the Chip Kelly way... I'll be looking for more discipline and a stronger second half this weekend -- we will need both moving into PAC-12 play.
