… the morning after…
… and speaking of statements…
1. The kid from OSU ain’t a third string QB… He’s a first string QB at any D1 school… except Oregon and FSU…
2. Oregon averaged an offensive play every 20 seconds over the entire game when they had the ball … including the last twenty or so minutes when they got the big lead and played ‘slowdown’ to run the clock…
Let’s forget for a minute, the physical impact of that on the Defense… because the “mental impact” is potentially much more devastating. There is no way … the kid can process the last play and get his head ready for the next one that fast…
3. Oregon’s high powered Offensive had absolutely nothing to do with FSU turnovers… Oregon’s Defense was the real deal and Ohio State better be worried about that as much if not more than the Ducks’ Offense.
4. There’s very little chance Oregon will repeat it’s performance last night next week… but the same could be said for OSU too.
So the NC is a tossup… that will be determined by the Coaches not the players… unless the game comes down to last four minutes with both teams in position to win… then maybe some player makes either the greatest play or the worse mistake of his career and that determines the outcome.
Either way… the game should be worth watching at least until somebody goes up three TDs…
I got so fed up with watching Oregon “hold” and get away with it play after play…This danged “high powered” offense doesn’t work if you call the offense for holding. The game is being “dumbed down” just like basketball was to appease those who can’t play the game “within the rulebook”…I absolutely detest college basketball now and if the trend continues, I’ll be watching hockey again on a full time basis…
