Honesty is needed here: (though that'll be hard) Is this Oregon team not playing up to their standards or were they never really as good as some made them out to be? I've only watched 2 Oregon games (Cal and Stanford), which is why i'm asking you guys. Because... Cam Newton isn't showing me much tonight as an NFL prospect either.
Honestly, the guys never displayed the poise and confidence that they've shown all year. Thomas was a large part of it. He just never looked comfortable. He had a few great plays, but he just kept making mistake after mistake after mistake. The defense did their jobs tonight, but the offense never got into a flow.
Wow...that 15 yard penalty is huge...stupid. Beautiful play by Matthews. The Ducks have nobody but themselves to be pissed at if they lose this game. They've had every opportunity to be up big in this game.
Thomas REALLY needs to stop gunning the ball into the middle of the field when Fairley is coming at him.
