I was somewhat alarmed by the gaps in our defense during the first half against PSU. Felt like there were several moments where a real offense would have cut us pretty bad. Hoping I was just over-analyzing a game without a whole lot to really see.

We saw a huge improvement in the defense once they let Dorlus play. Hopefully Funa and Evans playing will also have a big effect.
TT has a different style offense than PSU, much more quick passing, so basically I didn't learn much from the PSU game as it will relate to this game. Now this game will be good prep for USC, UW and WSU. Hopefully Tosh was paying attention when he was at UW because Lake/Kwiatkowski really knew how to stop an Air Raid offense.

If that doesn't change much I'll take Oregon and the points. We'll score in the upper 40s, low 50s. I can see TT getting 3-4 TDs to bring it over but I'd expect TT to take snaps the final 2 drives of the game.

If anyone saw Dorlus in the Q1 I'd love to know as it seemed like Burch played his spot until Q2 which had me thinking he must have been serving 1 quarter suspension.
Watching some of the defensive clips from this and it looks like that Dorlus/Burch pairing is going to become a nightmare combo against the left side. I also noticed that Boettcher sure works his butt off to be where he needs to be. The "Mint" package will be tested this week but I think we're going to like what we see when its all said and done and that some late garbage points won't really matter when its 52-34.
