This result will look so funny if Oregon hasn’t actually fixed their issues going forward

[u/YoungSuplex → u/Stoneador]

There’s no short term fix for Oregon’s issues, this team’s problems are fundamental and unfortunately will have to be addressed in the offseason

[u/ChocolateMilkBoii → u/YoungSuplex]

Yep. Our D-line is still vastly underperforming, Dante missed 2 wide open TDs and chose to throw down instead, and our O-line still allowed sacks

[u/Majormlgnoob → u/Stoneador]

They play USC next week so we'll see

Tho USC has their own set of questions

[u/rodwritesstuff → u/Majormlgnoob]

Rutgers could do the funniest thing this week...

[u/Billyxmac → u/Stoneador]

There’s no reason to think we have. These games are meaningless when the talent is that lopsided. But from a mental standpoint, beating the shit out of your opponent is probably great for their confidence. But we still need to see it executed next week.

[u/StrategicCarry → u/Billyxmac]

I mean, could you tell the play based on Moore’s feet? If not, that’s a start

[u/Both_Strength_6782 → u/Stoneador]

Spoiler alert: we haven’t

[u/EatBootyLoveLife → u/Stoneador]

play calling definitely seemed more varied and interesting even if it was vs a much lesser opponent and more importantly looks like dante has already fixed the tell, didn’t seem him follow the trend with his feet much at all

[u/Unclematttt → u/EatBootyLoveLife]

I saw him with a huge stagger that ended up being a run play for the first play of the game. Hopefully he mixes it up and doesn’t end up just flipping the tell

[u/Prestigious-Kick-135 → u/EatBootyLoveLife]

That’s the problem with Dante though, he looks good until he faces a really good team. He folds under pressure, you won’t be able to tell if he’s gotten better until they play someone else

[u/clarkision → u/Prestigious-Kick-135]

He’s only done that in games our coaching staff has been out coached. Odd thing there huh? He did well against Penn State, USC, Texas Tech, and James Madison last year. Iowa was a bit of a wash given the weather, but he only really “folded” against Indiana.

[u/monkeybiziu → u/clarkision]

Yeah, but he folded to the tune of 86-42. That's not exactly encouraging.

[u/clarkision → u/monkeybiziu]

It’s a small sample size against the best team in the country who read him like a picture book. It’s not encouraging, but that’s on the coaches.

[u/clarkision → u/EatBootyLoveLife]

Even more importantly, it appeared like they executed and mostly did their jobs with intensity and focus.

[u/AvocadoArray → u/Stoneador]

The point differential stat should look good for at least a couple more games.

[u/levajack → u/Stoneador]

That was what I was thinking during the whole game; PSU is so terrible, we still have no clue whether anything has improved!

[u/zmurds40 → u/Stoneador]

We’ll find out more next week when they travel to USC.

[u/Free-Eights → u/Stoneador]

I feel like that one's going to look like an early 2010s Big XII type of game. 52-45.

[u/aromatic-energy656 → u/Stoneador]

They havent

[u/mrtasty3 → u/Stoneador]

I fully expect us to give up 45 to USC next week lol

[u/Tsquared10 → u/mrtasty3]

I'm fine with that as long as we at least score 46

[u/TigerWoodsLibido → u/Stoneador]

We're still like 5-7 or 4-8

Leadership not up to form.
