Just got back from the Oregon/Boise State game, My Thoughts...

Good from Oregon:

-The run-game was good, despite Boise State stacking 8 and 9 in the box. .
-Darron Thomas looks like Oregon’s QB for the next 4 years.
-Oregon receivers stepped up.

Bad from Oregon:

-Chip Kelly’s play-calling until Thomas came into the game.
-Nick Allioti’s play-calling in the first half.
-Linebackers did not pick up the Boise receivers when playing zone.
-Not enough pressure on freshman QB, Kellen Moore.
-The defense showed no heart.
-8 missed points on special teams.

Good from Boise:

-Great play-action passing, Oregon bit every time.
-Major props to Kellen Moore for staying poised at Autzen Stadium.
-The offensive line provided lots of time for Moore.
-Boise State’s kicker had a great game.
-Boise State fans made their presence felt and weren’t disrespectful.

Bad from Boise:

-Cheap shots and dirty play.
-Bad tackling against Oregon’s run game.

Congrats, Boise. You guys deserved it. I was embarrassed today to have the Oregon football team representing my school. The defense showed no heart and Patrick Chung should not let that happen.
