This is Oregon's true test. The one thing I love about Cristobal is that he gets his teams up for huge games but with games like this he needs to find a way to keep the guy's motivated. Chip Kelly didn't do as well in the big games as Cristobal but he was really consistent against the easier teams. I hope Cristobal can keep his team motivated week by week and take every game one game at a time. I already know Cristobal teams aren't one for style points but I don't care about style points. You beat every team in the Pac 12 by 1 point with a win over Ohio State at the horseshoe and you are making the playoffs.

I was thinking more along the lines of Jack Elam vs Don Knotts...
But it'll more likely be like this:

You completely missed my point. Listen I'm not trying to say anything negative about Cristobal who is one of Oregon's greatest coaches ever after one of his biggest wins. However I feel like some of you took for granted how Chip Kelly could always keep the guy's motivated against the easier teams. On the other hand Chip's teams might have been too consistent because they didn't raise their game against Auburn and Ohio State like Cristobal has done against Auburn in a game where they were up 21-6 and Ohio state which they also had a two touchdown lead at a few points. I think its a big test to see if Cristobal can keep them fired up after a huge celebration against a team that is hard to get motivated for. I mean look at you as a fan you already assume Oregon's going to beat Stony Brook easily but show me a video of them not giving up when they were down by 20.Duck07 wrote:duck023 wrote:This is Oregon's true test.

I didn't miss your point, Stony Brook, as a FCS school, just isn't the opponent capable of providing this team a test. Further, one of the main points that Cristobal spoke about in his post-game comments were about the win being a 'mental breakthrough' for the team. While they may have underestimated the likely #1/2 MWC team in Fresno State looking ahead to Ohio State, there is a serious gulf between Stony Brook and Oregon and with that game in the rear view I think its silly to think they'll struggle. Moorhead and Mario are going to have a conversation this week about the reps for the backup QBs and whether JB and TT split each series or if they give them 1 series and switch. Its the type of game where someone can mess something up and still get a big play out of it because of the talent gulf.duck023 wrote:

Injured guys will get rest but this is a game as fans to get excited to watch the backups get some action.

Arizona may provide another week of rest for the injured. Damn, that is a program in serious decline. I’m aware of past games against them when the Ducks were highly favored, but that team is a S-show now. Could be two weeks of healing/younger guys getting big reps.Duck07 wrote:I didn't miss your point, Stony Brook, as a FCS school, just isn't the opponent capable of providing this team a test.

No need to worry, it’s not like Stony Brook is as good as Montana or anything.

I don't think they'll lose to Stony Brook but I'd like to see them play sharp and not act like its a forgone conclusion. The thing is there is no Pac 12 team that Oregon will have to play that is on Ohio States level however winning the Pac 12 won't be easy and they will have to take every Pac 12 team seriously. I think you are right about the fact that winning in the Horseshoe will give them confidence when they are on the road in the Pac 12. Sort of like how winning in Tennessee gave the 2010 team confidence in road games.Duck07 wrote:I didn't miss your point, Stony Brook, as a FCS school, just isn't the opponent capable of providing this team a test.

I expect to see almost nothing but 2nd and 3rd teams the entire game. So I'll pay no mind to a few errors/mistakes along the way.
