I think it's fair to say that Oregon Football has established an accurate perception that they are all about explosion plays and lightning quick scoring drives.
It's true, we do love our 4-play touchdown drives that take 2 mins. This is why I found what we did vs. Mich so interesting.
Oregon's six scoring drives:
12 plays, 63 yards, 6:26 TD
6 plays, 75 yards, 2:01 TD
10 plays, 94 yards, 4:41 TD
7 plays, 80 yards, 1:12 TD
15 plays, 67 yards, 6:33 FG
And to close out the game...
11 plays, 90 yards, 6:59 TD
Four of the six are over 75 yards. Not one short field. Not one takeaway to set up a score. The two shortest drives in yardage were the two longest in # of plays and were 2nd and 3rd in TOP. The longest in # of plays only netted the FG.
The 1 minute 80 yard drive was, of course, the TD to end the 1st half.
This should scare the sh!t out every DC we face the rest of the year....because we're doing this while still not feeling like we've dialed it all in. We can still get better.
I hope Tez has a chance to come back and I will not underestimate his contributions.....but, that is the position with the most depth and we'll get to see now.
