Sorry Debbie, lol
Jokes on us Alan because the problem for this offense is not all of those injuries or lack of players which is what this thread wants us to focus on. The problem here is complete lack of offensive identity. I can give the Defense a pass because of those reasons but when I look at the offense, I seriously feel like Walter right now because I have no clue what our goal is. We continue to do the same things again and again while expecting a different result.

I can agree with this, the Offense is a mess, for different reasons. O line is banged up but Herbert has more to do with it as does the WR's. The play calling I won't scream but it is very bad, pistol ain't working coach! But final fact is what I listed about The Ducks earlier.

Let me get this right, the opponent lost their two star offensive players and you taking shots at our offense for not performing better because of that? No mention that our defense wasn’t more effective?
If we go 8-4 and beat last years record with WT it will be okay with me. If FSU misses a bowl that will be great. I would expect major improvements next year.
The one bright spot for the defense, can you recall any completions against our corners? Our LBs were awful all around but especially in pass coverage. We should have considered a nickel cover to help over the middle but our corners were really good I thought.

I think you're right. It seemed every pass was completed to a receiver being covered by a LB or S.

Agreed, I have to eat crow about Donte Williams, the CB’s have made leaps and bounds of improvement this year. Lenoir is really really good.
Also, regarding the offense, I think we should give them next year. I don’t know if it’s Arroyo or Cristobal but every game they come out with a game plan that relies on at least somewhat of a successful run game, and because every defense knows that they load the box and put Oregon at a numbers disadvantage. In the second halves, they seem to adjust a bit and use the passing game to open up the run game. If Oregon just came out firing I wonder if that’d give Herbert more confidence and Oregon could find some early success. Just feels like Arroyo and Cristobal are confused and I’m sure that doesn’t give the players any confidence.
