Yeah, I think most of us have accepted they will suck ass and we'll get a top 3 pick for our trouble.
I was noticing bad spots throughout the game. Rare for me to notice more then one in a game but both ways I was seeing egregious ball spotting errors going against UO. A lack of replays made it seem so NBA playoffs. On that particular play after Adams seemed to easily clear the line, I commented to my friend that they were going to short sheet us again as thats was the trend of the night. Sure enough... & 9-2 on penalties as well STOMP
I'm really afraid of the Cal and USC games, other than that... I think we have a shot at the playoff still.
It's because they couldn't tell for sure when the knees went down so they can't overturn the spot on the field.
We went from arguably the biggest risk taker in college football history...... To a couple of guys who are pretty much your run of the mill, vanilla, zero creativity football coaches.
Honestly we need to stop leaving points on the field, start taking field goals and stop running power up the middle. Too predictable.
Big 10 officiating crew... does that help? Good god some of those calls against Oregon were awful... Tyler Johnson holding when he's not and the RB is 7 yards past him springs to mind that said, Oregon didn't seem like world beaters and they really didn't have to be to beat that MSU team. The D was pretty good but the O was lacking. I want to see more TBJ and the other speed threats like Griffin & Merritt. Hopefully Vernon's finger healing gives him more accuracy going forward as his play wasn't great STOMP
Sheesh. For the amount of hate I've been hearing and seeing Vernon Adams get I don't think some ducks fans deserve him. Adams is a great qb, dealt with an injury while playing, is playing his first year of division 1 football, is substantially better than lockie (who was a joke last year when he played) and led the ducks to almost a win against a top 10 team. He's not mariota, but jeez, mariota is a once in a lifetime talent. I root for Adams big time, was very impressed with him after he beat osu a couple years ago.
