That, too... Back in the sixties and seventies, Oregon went through a period when the coaching taalent was at times, ridiculous.
Look at the assistants under Jerry Frei who were run off by disgruntled boosters. Oregon had the coaching talent to compete with anyone, if it had been possible to recruit enough talent to implement the schemes they produced.
Autzen Stadium... Where great teams go to die...Hard!

They also had some pretty good talent at the skill positions, but no depth.
Since 1944, someone from Notre Dame has thrown a pass in the NFL every single season. It's the longest streak of any school all-time. It's a testament to the talent Notre Dame has produced for over half a century. But it looks like it's finally coming to an end.
With two weeks left this season, no Notre Dame alum has thrown a pass yet. Ex-Notre Dame stars Jimmy Clausen and Brady Quinn, who have both been NFL starters, are now both stuck on the sideline. Their chances from here on aren't great: Clausen is third on the Panthers' depth chart, and Quinn's Broncos are gunning for the playoffs and thus are unlikely to sit their starters.
After Notre Dame, the next-longest streak belongs to Oregon, surprisingly. The Ducks—who were college-football roadkill for the most part until the 1990s—have a 63-year run going, due largely to three longtime quarterbacks who played in different eras: Norm Van Brocklin (1949-60), Dan Fouts (1973-87) and Chris Miller (1987-95, 1999). http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142 ...

Lmao. The kid was pretty camera shy. We knew it was coming. Great pickup.

Javon Williams dropped a pass from Mickens (trick play) which would have gone for 6.
Mickens has been a beast. Ridiculous speed. Kind of reminds me of Tacoi Sumler. Dropped 1 pass, but has otherwise looked great.
DJ Foster is the best offensive player in the game. Just made a tremendous catch. Would have been a stud WR....

Btw, I'm thrilled that Frost stopped recruiting Gehrig Dieter. The kid reminds of Desean Jackson (attitude, me-first player). His coach definitely ran it up to pad Dieter's stats against horrible competition.
On why he chose SMU:
"SMU always has a couple receivers with 50+ catches."
