Pac-12 CG: #5 Oregon v #3 Washington (Dec. 1, Fri 5 PM ABC)

Total fail. Lanning learned nothing

I don't blame this on Lanning. I don't see how it's his fault. He coached this one far better than the last game.

I can't believe we couldn't even get that last stop.
unbelievable

There was no real pressure all night, that is getting tiring to watch. Penix had all day in the pocket, I don’t understand how you don’t fix that. You can’t stop teams that are pass heavy without pressure, and that was missing almost all game. No stunts, twists, no creativity just crap defense…offensive play calling was average at best, and really bad otherwise.

Well, looking forward to Alabama in the Fiesta Bowl...

With 2 losses, there is also a chance that we may end up playing Missouri in the Cotton Bowl.

Sad to say it but…
Guys we just got beat by the better team. Let’s stop with the excuses. We need to get better

Why is anyone arguing about the onside kick? It was a 3-and-out situation regardless. Field position doesn’t matter. You give yourself a shot at the ball 100 times out of 100 there.

Bottom line: Lanning, Stein, and Lupoi got terribly out-coached by a better Husky staff for the 3rd consecutive game. The more deserving team won.

Total fail coaching. Too many sub-par teams gave UW better efforts than UO. Ducks were weaker than most of the sub-500 teams they played, and got smoked by larger scores. ‘Em-freaking embarrassing. I hope Lanning freaking learns from this embarrassing situation. Massive failure.

I agree, it's still 3 and out
And yup, we sure as hell did not play our best in any of these games, and were out-coached.

What trips me out the most is, this wasn't the same team we fielded the entire year. Washington just did whatever they wanted to do. I am stunned.

I think Lanning is great, but time after time after time he was outcoached by a makeshift Washington coaching staff. He has a lot to learn. We just lost............EVERYTHING tonight.

Same

I knew I had a bad feeling when everyone and the vegas line had us as big favorites

[Phalanx]

I thought Lanning did great this time, and almost brought his team back from a 20-3 deficit. The 4th down he went for it was successful and at a very opportune time. He's figuring out when to take risks and when not to. In the end, the Ducks could not beat an extremely good passing attack with a patchwork secondary. I hope Oregon gets a receiving group like the one they played against tonight.

The Ducks are progressing really well, and although this loss stings, it's nice to have a relevant team again.

[Everythingsducky]

Lanning got smoked tonight. Kinda like the last UW loss. Love the guy, but starting 0-3 against the most hated rival, isn’t winning favors. Dude has to figure out his UW issues. With both schools going with new starting QB’s next year, I won’t be happy to lose to these A Holes another year.

We haven't played a legitimate team the entire year. I was going to say this before the game but I would've been exiled.

USC - DC fired week of game
Utah - missing a bunch of starters
OSU - coach probably already signed a contract with MSU; half the locker room is checked out

or are we going to say Texas Tech (6-6) was the best team we faced this year?

But don't get me wrong. This lost hurts but we're still better than most teams in the country because lots of teams at the top are deeply flawed, including FSU/Texas.

[GDuck]

This one hurts really bad - especially living in Seattle. However, Oregon”s future is bright. Go Ducks!

[OrTDuck]

I'll say an inside kick in that spot (when it is expected and the kicking team is showing it) is a <5% chance.

Kick it in the end zone and to at least some degree the dynamic changes with Husky play calling backed up. To what degree is certainly up to debate.

The Ducks only need 3 to tie. Even if the Ducks get a stop and punt at midfield, they probably have to go a long way. It's much easier to call the 3rd down pass at midfield. If it isn't there you throw it in the stands and punt. Throw it in the stands and punt is tougher if you are kicking instead from the 30.

I'll agree it might not have made a difference but is was a very, very low % play. Don't take the low risk and you do get something IMO.
