UCLA-Oregon thread

[Grendel]

Yeah, I'm rooting for UCLA.

[Lat22]

Go Bruins

[The Tower]

[BrothaHorn]

I just found out that it starts at 8. I lived my entire day expecting football at 6:30. I'm devastated.

UAPB vs. Alcorn St. is on ESPNU.

[maanitrules]

would love for oregon so score some crazy points for the same of my college fantasy team!

[Lat22]

Holtz is over the top marble mouthed tonight. Jesus God.

[MNLonghorn10]

holtz sucks. quit the kellen moore for heisman campaign.

[stunns38]

Lou Holtz needs to lose his spit glands. Hopefully UCLA takes Oregon as seriously as they took us.

[BrothaHorn]

Fuck Rick and UCLA, those bitches ruined Austin for me.

[TOR]

Oh, and just cover bruins, need the monies.

[Gurrry]

Oregon is going mudhole UCLA.

213-7 is my prediction.

[slorch]

Uh-Oh oregon done gone and broke out the Trans-Am jerseys...

[lubbockhorn88]

go ducks!

[lubbockhorn88]

jesus, craig james needs to EABOD and DIAF.

fuck him

[TheTexasHammer]

Fuck Rick and UCLA, those bitches ruined Austin for me.

Good to see you're not getting carried away. They only ruined all of football for me.

[slorch]

jesus, craig james needs to EABOD and DIAF.

fuck him

I most definitely concur.

[TOR]

jesus, craig james needs to EABOD and DIAF.

I hate that guy.

Go Bruins(need any help we can get)

[cajunhorn]

Tuuuuuurible pass.

[BruisingTaints]

Tuuuuuurible pass.

his receiver was at fault too.

[WhoooTex]

So if your school colors are "green and yellow", and you take the field wearing uniforms that are black-on-yellow.... what are your school colors?

And yes, I'm the guy who will end up burning down DKR on the day in 2057 when the Longhorns take the field in their fresh marketable black jerseys with pink anti-breast-cancer Longhorn decals on the helmets

[cajunhorn]

Cracking up at Oregon's play cards.

[Mike_Tyson]

Cracking up at Oregon's play cards.

That is fucking awesome!!!!!!

[orangemocha]

Damn Oregon is quick

[cajunhorn]

Big balls!

[Dolemite]

Yeah, I'm rooting for UCLA.

Me too. Oregon looks bad ass. They might just win it all.

[Gurrry]

dis game be over son

[cajunhorn]

Wow, their receivers actually block on those sideline screens.

[Al Bundy's Napoleon Hand]

3 outta their last 4 passes were east-west.

[orangemocha]

Oregon is gong to roll it up tonight

[cajunhorn]

3 outta their last 4 passes were east-west.

Yep, and they had a hat on every defender on each of those. Much different from our east-west offense.

[grapedrink]

Oregon can eat a dick and so can Rick Nuehiesel.

[FriarTuck]

The official reviews are out of hand. That was obviously a touchdown. Seriously.

[Lat22]

Wow, their receivers actually block on those sideline screens.
Conducted and formed, it's a hell of a concept....

[orangemocha]

Watch Oregon will fake the screen and go deep soon.

[Meursault]

Sick offense, Darron Thomas might be the most underrated player in the nation. Think our WRs are watching this game?

[cajunhorn]

That helps.

[cajunhorn]

Those Oregon unis are slimming.

[HornDomination]

Wow, their receivers actually block on those sideline screens.

Exactly what I was thinking, cajun. It's funny how the screen game works so well when the other receivers get hands on defenders.

On a related note, it's a damn shame that the leading rusher in the nation is a Texas boy playing for a PAC-10 team while the flagship university from his home state struggles to find a running game of any kind.

[Al Bundy's Napoleon Hand]

Yep, and they had a hat on every defender on each of those. Much different from our east-west offense.
yes, execution is important.

ps. furk oregon

[Gurrry]

so basically Oregon runs the Madden offense.. fast qb, fast rb, no-huddle... I like it.

[orangemocha]

UCLA D is looking shell shocked

Dammit more speed than we ever show.


OTOH sometimes we do tackle.

[mdmost]

Just turned this on. I like Oregon a lot but what the fuck are they wearing?

Ah fuck. TheMichael went out.

[maanitrules]

dam.. james hurt =lots of points im going to miss out on tonight!

[Gurrry]

LaMichael James goes down.. they plug in another RB better than anyone Texas has.

[mdmost]

Amazing things can happen when you can consistently run the football really well.

[e]

asskicking

[Lone Star]

A lot of Texas talent has migrated to the Pac-10 in the past ten years. The Horns get who they want, but I'm surprised Aggy, Tech and a few other teams don't seem to be in the run for any of those players.

Btw Autzen stadium is a fantastic game day experience.

[TOR]

Furk I took the bruins to cover...

[Messi]

If OU and UO meet in the MNC, the number of plays run will reach 200. Them some fast offenses.

Seems like the hot trend is to go no-huddle, fast tempo out of the spread. If you do it right you can run and pass with lethal proficiency.

[mdmost]

[Lone Star]

lol, I wonder what we would see if Phil Knight had complete control over our uniforms.

[Lat22]

yes, execution is important.
I'm all for the execution of our wide receivers.

[homerxsimpson]

damn i think they've found something there.

[bamachine]

Dude just got bitchmade

[RR-Horn]

Dude just got bitchmade

Yeah he did!

[Lone Star]

Eh we get the talent, but our coaches play by high percentages so nothing is very inventive or dynamic. If we had Oregon's offense and offensive consistency with our defense, we would easily test the win streak record.

[RR-Horn]

That was a fuckin GD call if I've ever seen one

[e]

that place is pretty damn loud

[ryskey]

Every time I watch the Oregon offense this year, I want to scream "weeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!"

[orangemocha]

should have went for it, their D cannot stop Oregon.

[Lat22]

They boo injured opponents too. Fuck espn for giving them a pass.

[Biggus Duckus]

They boo injured opponents too. Fuck espn for giving them a pass.

They are booing the poor health away.

Don't forget Thomas, who would make GD look like a genius.

[orangemocha]

They have had a lot of fake injuries to slow them down this year. If somebody gets hurt on the other team's defense, they think it is fake.

[cajunhorn]

yes, execution is important.

We must execute the shit out of those plays in practice.

[HornDomination]

Don't forget Thomas, who would make GD look like a genius.

BH, good call. Forgot that Thomas is a another Texas product. There is indeed a ton of Texas talent out west, but it's most painful when we see it succeed so well in areas where Texas needs it so blatantly.

[cajunhorn]

God, those UCLA handoffs where the qb just telegraphs the play are horrible.

[cajunhorn]

That was bush-league.

[Biggus Duckus]

That was bush-league.

That was little league.

[Gurrry]

Oregon has some serious balls. They are going to run what ever the fuck they want against who ever the fuck they want.

Thats either going to pay off tremendously or bite them in the ass down the road...

[crimsonlonghorn]

Now they're getting cocky.

[Slade]

Oregon had a middle school type of throw up tackle going on there. That could have been a disaster, but I guess that shows how they don't have any fear of UCLA putting up a lot of points on them.

[lubbockhorn88]

I weep for the day that our wide receivers block actually block downfield

[stunns38]

BH, good call. Forgot that Thomas is a another Texas product. There is indeed a ton of Texas talent out west, but it's most painful when we see it succeed so well in areas where Texas needs it so blatantly.

If the offensive talent that we have on our bench was out west(or anywhere), they'd be starting and succeeding!

[cajunhorn]

Oregon qb seems very athletic.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Jesus 10.5 yard average on first down.

[Lone Star]

Jesus 10.5 yard average on first down.

Wow, I guess the 10 yard minimum offense is no good any more.

[orangemocha]

If the offensive talent that we have on our bench was out west(or anywhere), they'd be starting and succeeding!

Not sure about that, Oregon gets a lot of top Cali talent to.

[crimsonlonghorn]

I have Duck envy. Fuck I wish we could do this.

[orangemocha]

This is way you do not settle for FG playing Oregon.

[boknowstecmo]

Jesus that was a great drive.

[HornDomination]

I have Duck envy. Fuck I wish we could do this.

Right there with ya. This is an ass-raping in progress, sans lube.

[Shutup Lou Holtz]

Oregon O is really good. I want that offense

[Lone Star]

oregon takes a lot of athletes with character issues. Lache, this recruit from Cali who was somehow involved with but didn't commit a murder, Misouli and his little theft issues. They are the new Miami and they will win a lot because of it.

[e]

fuck that duck

[Mister Falcon]

Greg Davis sucks and what not, but seriously how the fuck did we lose to UCLA?

[cajunhorn]

This is way you do not settle for FG playing Oregon.

Yes, nice to see an offense that is designed to be aggressive all the time.

How hard is it to land some athletes that won't be in federal prison in 5 years?

Of course Texas' problem isn't a lack of talent, they just don't develop any offensive talent.

Apparently it didn't happen unless you have a link.

[Kitty Boy]

Darron Thomas is just plain sick.

[lubbockhorn88]

christ, how many times has the cameraman been faked by this offense? That ball fake is really really good

[Bullneck]

Is it my imagination, or do the Oregon receivers always seem to catch the ball in full stride?

I'm not arguing in favor of that. Just because someone else has it and it seems to be working doesn't mean we need it here.

[Lone Star]

I've heard nothing but wonderful things about Seastrunk.

Seastrunk might not be a character issue as much as it was a strange recruiting situation.

[orangemocha]

The problem guys were before Chip, I want to see who he recruits before I blast them. I am a Oregon State fan, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt now.

[ryskey]

Fuck, I want UCLA to score some points so this doesn't get too out of hand. I want 30 more minutes of hard and fast.

[cajunhorn]

These receivers are catching balls with one hand that our guys can't catch with two.

[Kitty Boy]

Peyton Manning would be sporting wood at this tempo.

[Apple Jack]

This proves our defense is horrible!

[cmwhookem]

Would Oregon beat us by 20? 30? 40?

Pre-Nebraska, I think most people would have said at least 30, but maybe the last game might give us a little bit of confidence and the fans a little bit of hope....UCLA has looked great since we played them...

[UTfootballFan]

Fuck, I want UCLA to score some points so this doesn't get too out of hand. I want 30 more minutes of hard and fast.Oregon's going to go hard and fast no matter what the score is, I believe.

[random horn]

oregon has been putting on a clinic

[In10se D]

I can't believe we got whipped by this team at home. Oregon is looking great, if they don't get too full of themselves they're my pick for the title.

[crimsonlonghorn]

Cover!

[cajunhorn]

Can y'all imagine Oregon playing Boise with those unis on that blue field?

[Lone Star]

Honestly I don't have a problem with who they recruit. A team like Oregon has to go after the talent other teams pass up for whatever reason. I hope they play for a win a title this year (or TCU or Boise) because it would help put them on the map as a destination program.

Real question: 1.) Oregon's O or Mike Leach O? 2.) How would our defense perform against the ducks?

[e]

that lsu auburn game will be fun to watch

[Mister Falcon]

We lost to this shitty UCLA team by 22 points at home, so I think that Oregon could beat us by 40. It's the ultimate contrast of offensive styles.

[cajunhorn]

Oregon on pace for 700 yards.

[BrothaHorn]

Announcers just said D. Thomas, wanted to go to LSU, but guess what..The Mad Hatter was talking position change. If Jordan Jefferson can play qb, then anybody can.

That is absolutely true. He tried the bait and switch on Thomas but he sniffed it out and switched to Oregon.

[ryskey]

On pace for 700 yards and 60+ points. 40 plays in 10 minutes of time of possession, 15 seconds per play.

[cajunhorn]

Jeebus, they need to put up one of those salad bar plexiglass spit guards in front of Holtz. That is just a joke.

[Texas Flood]

It is imperative for our offense to score early and our defense to not make mental or assignment mistakes.

huh? UCLA beat a shitty WSU team by 14 and got buttfucked by an average Cal team

[LonghornMM]

I'm wondering why the refs are running to spot the ball so Oregon can run their plays at a fast pace. The refs should go at the same pace regardless of what type of offense is being run and shouldn't cater to Oregon's fast pace offense.

I think they have to keep up with the flow of the game. They spot it fast when a team runs the two minute offense.

[TheTexasHammer]

Ya'll always bitch, but Holtz and Mark May are one of the greatest pairs ever. Mark May sucked before he got paired with Lou. These two work really well together, mostly because Mark doesn't see Lou as a rival, and Lou isn't afraid to take the "controversial" position. What I like best about those two is that Mark can be himself know, he was blah when he was with Trev, he's really strong now. Like they just said, he's not just smart he's entertaining.

None of the above should be construed to imply or infer that Lou doesn't need a spit guard.

[Biggus Duckus]

Wow, Oregon didn't convert a 3rd down in the first half.

[Bobby Light]

i still can't believe we lost to this team

With that said, quit talkin out of your ass, or lay out some facts with a link. Just because Texas didn't sign him doesn't make him a felon. Mentioning a kid with no record in the same sentence with a suspected murderer is beyond fuckin stupid.

Oregon is more familiar with UCLA and what they do. Also Texas had a hard time in holding on to the ball and their QB is hurt for this game.

Lache used a street agent, while nothing even remotely close to being involved with a murder, its still shady

[The Smoking_Man]

Lache used a street agent, while nothing even remotely close to being involved with a murder, its still shadyright, read all about that. It smelled like shit, but didn't fail the legality/ncaa litmus test, so it's a draw. He's not a suspected murderer or a convicted thief, so the comparison was not accurate.
Nobody's innocent, glass houses...etc

Why are you trying to make a point in the first place? Murder and theft are character issues. Again WIDE RANGE OF POSSIBLE CHARACTER ISSUES. Not a black and white issue. Also reading comprehension works wonders. No one on the duck team committed murder. NONE. One guy they recruited was involved in a murder - in the sense that he was at the party where it occurred and it was caused by some friends. Also Misouli is happily playing ball in Mississippi. Is theft questionable, yup, but apparently the legal authorities who know more about it than i do seem to think he was a good enough boy for probation only. Again questionable character issues - yes that includes shady street agents. And no dumb fuck, i didn't cure anything...but i sure as fucked linked everything to authorities on that post. Why not follow those links asshole.

It is! I've only been once but it was a lot of fun. It was either in 2003 or 2004 when Cal came in ranked. The game was more memorable because the stadium lights went out half way through the first half. It was funny just sitting in the dark.

They are fun to watch, but they still haven't played a top 40 D this year. I doubt anyone shuts them down completely , but I guarantee that offense can look pretty ordinary against a top D. Nebraska looked pretty unstoppable earlier in the year as well.

I like it. They're at least doing something to try to protect their top team's chance to make the title game. Too many time these money grab championship games end up costing a team a shot at the title game.

[Biggus Duckus]

I like it. They're at least doing something to try to protect their top team's chance to make the title game. Too many time these money grab championship games end up costing a team a shot at the title game.

I think it has more to do with the fact that Pac-10 fans don't travel as well as fans from the South, plus there is a larger distance gap to begin with. If Las Vegas had a suitable stadium I wouldn't be surprised if they made the title game there.

Outside of Seattle (Qwest Field but shitty weather in December), the Bay area (Oakland Coliseum or the 49ers new stadium and weather is an issue there), the Rose Bowl or Glendale, where else could they play? And I'll laugh my ass off if Oregon State gets better or Wazzu ever gets decent again and they have to play this thing in Corvallis or Pullman.

My guess is they will rotate something like this:

Qwest
Invesco
Rose
Glendale
one of the oregon schools
norcal venue #1 (oakland? sf?)
Qwest again
Rice-Eccles
Coliseum
Glendale again
the other oregon school
norcal venue #2

[mstrat]

Just wanted to share this post I read tonight on BON regarding Texas talent at UO and their offensive firepower.


I do fault us for not having the rudimentary understanding of how to build an offense with a certain purpose. Darren Thomas has played the same amount of time as Gilbert, yet we’re still getting weekly reports about the coaches considering opening up the game or feeling a little bit more confident about Garrett as they change his diaper. Meanwhile, Thomas is running an infinitely more complicated (and exciting) offense at Oregon and throwing the ball all over the place (particularly down the middle of the field, a location somewhere between Valhalla and Mt. Olympus to the fan base by now).


THIS to infinity.

What Oregon lacks in talent they make up in coaching specifically on offense.

That display last night was both jaw-droppingly incredible, and nauseating at the same time. Nothing really new for Oregon, but accentuated somewhat on the national stage.

The UCLA defense looked like the 7th grade B team scrimmaging the varsity. They had no clue, from beginning to end.

It may be time for UCLA to drop its football program.

Or schedule Texas for every game. Jesus we suck.

Agreed. It's embarrassing to see UCLA get raped by all these teams yet pummel us at our own house.

[Grendel]

Oregon loses at USC next week. They have no D. It's going to bite them in the butt sooner or later.

Wait! We need to get revenge first!!



[QUOTE=Biggus Duckus;2163184]I think it has more to do with the fact that Pac-10 fans don't travel as well as fans from the South, plus there is a larger distance gap to begin with. If Las Vegas had a suitable stadium I wouldn't be surprised if they made the title game there.

Play the income generating CCG in a city and state where you don't have a conference team? I don't see that happening.

Wrong. Oregon runs the table.

Revenge? Sheeeit.....the only time I've seen Texas "get revenge" was against OU & aggy.

[WhoooTex]

They are fun to watch, but they still haven't played a top 40 D this year. I doubt anyone shuts them down completely , but I guarantee that offense can look pretty ordinary against a top D. Nebraska looked pretty unstoppable earlier in the year as well.

Agree, to a point. Oregon's offense is awesome and looks unstoppable, but it was awesome and looked unstoppable for the most of the 2009 season as well-- which was bookended by an 8-pt showing at Boise and a 17-pt, 260-yd showing in their Rose Bowl loss to Ohio State. Still, it sure looks like it could chew up and spit out anybody at this point.

Unstoppable, running the ball.

Oregon can kill you either way, on the ground or in the air.

Oregon's O-line may be the best I've ever seen. Seriously. On the Oregon TD that put them up 22-0, it looked like the UCLA defense was counting to 90-Mississippi before getting to him. He had ALL DAY, no pressure, no NOTHING -- it was breathtaking. And the O-line made it look effortless. I really watched the line on a few other plays, and saw the same thing -- complete domination. I switch channels, then come back to the halftime show, and Lou is talking about the O-line. Dude, if even LOU spots it as the difference-maker, it's pretty obvious.

Domination by a unit (O or D) is established at the LOS. Opulent LOS domination -- Oregon has it. I really think it doesn't matter that they have a so-so defense (and they aren't bad -- they just aren't nearly as good as the O) -- the offense can score damned near at will with that O-line. Just wait until the play develops, and it will eventually develop, then execute. THAT'S an offensive gameplan that can't lose.

Seriously, it made me puke to see an offense built around the right element, as compared to ours, with O-line play that has to be overcome as opposed to forming the rock-solid foundation for success.

[DLev]

Until blowU takes a loss (something I think is likely), I am rooting for all of the top teams to run the table. Oregon destroying UCLA is just fine by me.

[mdmost]

Who gives a shit if you have no D when you can outscore your opponent in the amazing fashion Oregon is able to do. They can run the ball, they can pass the ball. No one has stopped them yet and a team that loses to Washington isn't going to either.

Yeah, the O-line is really the point. It's fine to wish for Oregon's offensive scheme, or the Chiles Should Starts 10 Yd Minimum, etc, but frankly it wouldn't matter what we ran if our offensive line could block people like that-- I'd have liked the offense we trotted out for Rice just fine if we'd been physical upfront and gashed them for 300 yards on the ground. Not to mention, the reptilian part of my brain likes the idea of Muschamp's defense backed by an offense that holds the ball for 35+ minutes with appropriate scoring efficiency.

[MNLonghorn10]

we'd handle oregon, for 5 seconds

[ryskey]

If I was a UCLA defender during Oregon's ridiculous high tempo drives, I would just sit down and start crying. I can't believe how they don't make mistakes and everything is precise. That's some serious repetition but great, innovative coaching as well. When Texas does super duper hurry-up, the o-line misses half their blocks and we get stuffed for no gain. OU's is really sloppy in comparison too. To top it off, it's a simple offense but every play complements the others. There only have 4 running plays and a few passing plays, but they're run out of different formations and to different sides of the field without telegraphing anything.

I also like the aggressiveness in all phases of the game. It's better than what Mike Leach does because they're aggressive without being too stubborn about it. It's all high percentage, but you get the feeling that everyone on UCLA's team had no idea what was coming, whether on offense, defense or special teams.

Ah yes, the Darnell Special

[ballrific]

watching Oregon's innovation and creativity on offense makes me want to vomit on mack and uncle greg. Get with the times please. Question though, would our defense be as effective with an up tempo, quick strike offense like that? They'd be on the field twice as much.

[Tap Dancing KungFu Master]

Holy shit. I just realized Oregon scored more in each quarter than we did in the entire fucking game. Fuck my life.

[ATX_INTELLECT]

This game depressed me. Seriously....no more UCLA at home.

[Massive Horn]

Those of you thinking that we win out are in for a letdown. We are shittier than that UCLA team. Good thing is that we have no Oregon's on our schedule.
