No B1G triumvirate (Indiana, Ohio State, Oregon) on the schedule; USC visits Happy Valley. On paper, two tough games at UW and Michigan.10-2 is more than doable.
August 2Aug 2 Author Administrator No. The 2 essential ingredients in Oregon's recipe for a national championshipEvery second counts. What Oregon needs to turn that fragile souffle of hope into a Saturday culinary masterpiece is 16 weeks of execution, cohesion and consistency.The two most critical ingredients in football success are explosive plays on offense and havoc on defense. Teams that win the battle of explosive plays win 86% of the time according to analytics. Explosive plays are defined as runs of 10 yards or more or passes of 20 yards or more.The reason they figure so powerfully in winning or losing is that they are rare. When it takes a team eight gains of five yards to get 40, that's eight chances for a breakdown in the offensive rhythm, a false start, a sack, a fumble or an interception. When Dante Moore, Evan Stewart or Jeremiah McClellan break open for 40 yards in one chunk, it immediately flips the field, seizes the momentum and sets up a scoring opportunity. Explosive plays are game changers, game-determiners.Autzen ZooThe 2 essential ingredients in Oregon's recipe for a nati...Every second counts.
