second half was much better, but seems in the first half Stanford moved the ball to much for as bad as their O is.. I like this Oregon team, if they tighten it up on D they will have a shot, if not, good teams will eat them up with t.o.p and make them play from behind which in the past has taken them out of their offensive rhythm. Was my second biggest play of the day, cant believe how much the number dropped with all the squares hitting Stanford. Not sure if it is players or coach but Stanford is heading in the wrong direction. I think it might be both.
Here we go... As soon as Oregon wins everyone wants to knock Stanford.... Everyone relax... Stanford has a top 10 defense.... Oregon scored at will..... Speak to what it is, oregon is good, stop trying to act like they're not. They have the best qb in the nation and one of the best offenses. Yes their defense is a question mark, but today's football is based upon offense and efficiency, not defense. Sorry to say that. I wish it was opposite. I'm a ducks fan but I can see the truth. Bama is good, so is miss. State, so is Michigan state, etc etc... Stop writing the ducks off because of their defense. They just stopped Stanford. Their next biggest test isn't the pac 12 title game or the final four, it's Utah at utah.... For those of you who are pac 12 illiterate, that's one of the best defenses around, top 25 and the nations leader in sacks.... They did their job, now they need to beat Utah, after that they can coast until the pac 12 title game
A top 10 recruiting class may not come into play as much with a playoff system where you have to play two games back to back. This top 10 recruiting thing isn't my argument. It's a fact that has been pretty much a requirement to win the BCS title for the last decade. But we are under a new playoff system now. These things may not pertain quite as much to this new format. But we just don't know yet.
The funny thing about that game is Auburn was also ranked out of the top 10 in recruiting, at number 11. The only team to win the BCS title in the last decade that was out of the top 10 in recruiting. Red Eye, the fact is in most years both of the teams who are in the BCS title game are top 10 recruiting teams. Like last year with FSU/Auburn.
