Not with this defense unfortunately.
Are you just a contrarian? This is the closest it’s felt since the Kelly days.

We need to definitely improve it, but I'm glad we are doing well now, even then you're right.

If we improve the defense by next year we could definitely be a natty contender.

I guess from my perspective back is a consistent top 5 Natty contender. No doubt Oregon football is on the right track and I love this coaching staff, but this defense gives me little faith about to us team’s chances of winning out. What happens if the offense has some odd struggles against Utah? Do you think they can rely on this defense to win the game? I don’t.

They are holding UCLA 18 points below their season average, after holding Zona well below their average. I don’t know if you’re expecting a prime Bama defense out there, but they’ve played plenty well. Of course there’s room for improvement, but they are plenty good enough to give the team an opportunity to win every game.

I love that at this point Nix is that upset about not converting that 3rd down.

Maybe I’m too critical of the defense, but the offense to me has played better defense. Yes holding them to 3 FG’s was huge but part of the reason UCLA isn’t scoring like usual is cause the Oregon offense is holding the ball.


Again, I just personally don’t look at this defense as reliable.

This team is flat out good and well coached. Our D has flaws but is playing really well. This UCLA offense is legit and we’ve held them very much in check.

That touchdown right there is exactly why I don’t have faith in this defense.

UCLA is one of the best offenses in the country.

I love this coaching staff but my one criticism is it feels like they have an opportunity to end the game early with a blowout win and just for some reason the opponent sticks around with a little bit of life. That’s one thing Chip was an expert at. This coaching staff will figure it out though.

You seem to think UCLA has life here. It would still take a miracle to come back. They are a top 10 team, as well. Maybe expecting a blowout is a bit unrealistic.
