Hawaii @ #13 Oregon (Sept 16, Sat 5 PM Pac-12 Net)

[OregonFan4Life]

Another fun one in Autzen, pretty good showing from Hawaii fans, they seemed really cool but didn’t get a chance to talk to any of them and welcome them to Eugene.

Defense is better overall this season but offense seems to have taken a small step back. If we had this defense last season ducks would’ve finished the regular season with 1 loss and would’ve gone to the playoffs (but wouldn’t have won). This to me was the best performance by Oregon but there’s a lot of concerns….

Coverage is still bad, it’s too easy for QB’s to get the ball to someone open when under pressure. Our front seven gets good pressure but our secondary plays too soft and makes it too easy for a QB to get the ball out quickly before a sack can happen. Not sure why that is but it’s a concern.

Penalties still a concern, especially dumb ones. Hawaii’s first two redzone trips were courtesy of bad 3rd and long penalties, first a stupid roughing the passer from Dorlus on 3rd and 15 and second a dumb PI on Manning when he had 0 awareness of the ball on 3rd and 13. Penalties need to be cleaned up.

Run blocking, ESPECIALLY the TE’s, it’s not bad, it’s just inconsistent.

Bo had some weird overthrows and receivers had a few drops but I’m not concerned about the passing offense.

We will see what this team is made out of next season, I believe it’ll be a statement win for Oregon.

Coverage is bad? I thought the starters played really good vs the UH passing game. We gave up 3.0 yards per attempt, that I the opposite of bad. Seems like a lot of nitpicking

It’s hard being at the game to notice things like coverage as a whole unit, just felt like quite a few times we pressured the HI QB and he was able to get the ball out quickly and compete a pass, in hindsight thought I think that was against the second unit moreso than the starters. Though the interception by Hawaii should’ve been a first down, it was just a bad pass. Felt like the coverage was soft at times and maybe it was just Tosh having a vanilla playbook for an easy opponent.

Those were all very short, quick passes. Like someone else mentioned, their average yards per reception was very low. They were not able to get medium or long range routes completed. I thought the pass D has looked much improved.
