No. 4 Oregon Ducks vs. Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles - Game Thread

I just want to see smarter play from the team. A couple of late hits out of bounds that were obvious calls against us, a stupid move by DAT to try to field a punt in traffic, and Mariota finally got caught by a secondary doing all the things that we've been talking about for weeks.

Shit, we had over a 100 yards in penalties against a shit opponent. This is very concerning to me.

Obviously this is a very young team, and we lost a lot of our veterans to the draft (James/Thomas) and to injuries (Boyett/York), but these guys have to be smarter than that. I don't expect them to always know the right play, or play like seniors, but I do expect them not to block in the back or hit a guy who is already out of bounds. Just a lot of bonehead moves that will severely cost us against a better opponent.

Example: against LSU it only took a couple fumbles by DAT to cost us the game. You simply can't make errors against good teams or they will make you pay.

 

I actually watched it to see how some 3rd stringers would look.

 

I like Pharoah, Stanford and Buckner right now... Marshall will be a huge work horse for us and all 4 of these true freshmans will be big parts to our success this year!

 

Marshall is going to be good.

 

I think so as well. Maybe not LAM good, but still a good one.

 

Doesn't seem like the Ducks are using Colt much. Wonder why?

 

I think he's dinged up.
