Dan Lanning’s best fourth down decisions yesterday was to bring Ettridge in to punt the ball. On two of his three punts, he buried the ball inside the 10 yard line. Both times Boise went three and out and punted the ball back giving Oregon great field position (50 and BSU 44 yard lines). Oregon scored TD’s on the subsequent drives.

I believe the win may have been a lot less nerve wracking if DL had made the safe call and made Boise try to drive the length of the field on his defense. We probably would have seen a 14+ point win.

I know I said this in the game thread, but throwing the ball short of the line to gain on 4th and short should be a fireable offense. The crazy thing is they did it twice!

On the first one, a receiver looked to be running wide open behind Hill. Moore never looked at anyone else on either play, so I am going to assume that was a play calling issue and not Moore screwing up.

NEVER EVER THROW THE BALL SHORT OF THE STICKS ON 4th DOWN!!

I not even going to mention the play where they had 3 NFL receivers in man-to-man coverage and they chose to throw a backwards pass to Stewart and let him throw it to the end zone. JMac almost made the play, but why even go there??

I could go on and on. If I had to grade the offense play calling, I would give it a D.
