Four games

Post by Quietduck »

I have watched four games and seen four different teams. I don't know if the ducks will win tonight but I'll tell you what I also don't know if our team has a clue as to who they are. I'm officially scared. I know we will get everyone's best game but I haven't seen our team play a complete game.

I've seen a team that ranges from a little better than average to genuinely good, though not maybe great. Feels like a pretty standard up year for Oregon – not on the level of the very best teams in the country, but a favorite to win the conference and plausibly capable of beating everyone but the very best.

This is Oregon under Cristobal. We coast through games with inferior opponents and go nuts in the big games. Personally, I prefer a few games being closer than they should but rolling in our conference championship games and big OOC games over what we had in the Chip years. Beating bad teams 60-3 doesn’t mean anything when you get trounced in most of your big matchups.

I agree with everything you said. When ever I watch Alabama, Florida or LSU they don't trounce the bad teams the way Chip Kelly's Oregon teams did. It's more of a slow beating and that is what Cristobal does. I'm very happy with the way Oregon played against Stony Brook and Arizona because the margin of victory was actually wider than I expect out of Cristobal teams so Cristobal is improving on his teams consistency. Also you are right I'd take Oregon beating Portland St 28-17 if that means they beat the best team in SEC by the same score.
