And we hand it off to Kapp instead of trying to gash the defense in four down territory and only a yard to gain. That play captured in a nutshell Tedford's inadequacy as a coach in so many ways.

Typical of why we end up having to settle for field goals. Maynard had just completed passes to Jones and Allen to move the ball into Oregon territory. Clearly, we have some offensive momentum. What do we do? Give it to Kapp for 2 yards. 3 downs later, we were unable to get another first down and GT bailed us out with a 54 yarder.

Right on. Did it twice. It is a HS call.

I was thinking the exact same thing. It's a no brainer take a shot situation even if you DON'T have great receivers like Allen and Jones. Just absolutely stupid. On our 2 point play why the hell wouldn't you fake it into the line before your roll out?? Don't you want to freeze all those guys in the middle or maybe even suck them in? We're close. You can see we have some talent on both sides of the ball. We just finally got wore down in the second half. Losing Anthony and having to go with the freshman McClure hurt. McClure will be good, but that's a tough place to start your college career.

I think mixing it up and keeping the clock moving counts for a lot against Oregon. LSU won, albeit higher ranked and bigger/talented they ran the ball 48 times vs 22 passes. Also got 4 turnovers. Takes a bazooka to slow and kill this Duck team down.

We do this ALL the time. It drives me crazy. It is one of the main reasons we end up kicking FGs instead of scoring TDs. 2nd and short on the Oregon 40 is the PERFECT time for play-action and a throw up field that has a chance for 7.
