Quote from Canzano on Oregon Live/Oregonion:
"Oregon is a lousy football team. It's not particularly athletic or physical. There's no attention to detail. It's a sloppy mess in stretches. In fact, the only consistent in-game entertainment comes when opposing fans see these new-style Ducks tripping around the field for the first time and are blown away at how bad UO is.
Helfrich did his best after the game to deflect and sell the notion of the Oregon future. He reminded the media that he has a freshman quarterback and a young offensive line. He pointed out that some of the same USC players that thumped his team were mocked a year or two ago. And when asked about the glaring disparity of talent between the Ducks and Trojans, Helfrich said, "I assume you're talking about recruiting... that's always ongoing."
No coach. What's ongoing is the program slide. What's ongoing is the inability to tackle, to make plays, and to be disciplined. What's ongoing are the excuses, and the constant selling of a future nobody is sure will ever materialize. What's ongoing is the question about how Oregon got so bad, so fast.

Pretty much says it all. I watched the first half and switched to my recorded Bama-LSU game. I just couldn't stand to watch our Ducks. Undisciplined. No Fire. Can't tackle. Can't block. A fundamentally unsound football team. I do not see much hope. I will watch the second half today to see if I missed hope for the future. For me, the only question is whether Stanford will run the ball more than 29 plays in a row on us.
