Ducksattack · Phalanx

Sep 06
Boise State @ #2 Oregon (Sept 5 Sat 12:30 PM, CBS)
Summary
Pick/market: I dunno, over 500 yards of offense is pretty good, especially with no QB running plays, which I assume will happen later in the season.
I dunno, over 500 yards of offense is pretty good, especially with no QB running plays, which I assume will happen later in the season. Coach Mehringer didn't have a lot to do with all the costly mistakes the ducks made. I imagine his job was to move the ball without revealing too much of the playbook. His 4th down playcalling didn't do very well, but otherwise I'd say his results were pretty good. Boise State played tough and were aided by an obvious missed call on the muffed punt that added 7 points to their tally and made the game closer than it should have been. We counted on our guys to come back and show who the better team was, and they did that. I know there will be some dropping in the polls, but it's a W against a traditionally tough opponent who will probably add something to Oregon's strength of schedule argument later. It's a result I can live with. So far I would say this year's team looks a lot like last year's, maybe with a slight improvement at the skill positions and in the defensive backfield. The trenches on each side of the ball were not as improved as we hoped, but there are several weeks to develop now before the hard games, so let the coaches do their thing and we'll see where we are by the USC game.
