1 hour ago1 hr No. Can OBD improve on offensive enough to achieve a 9-3 season? Andrew Nemec's recent interpretation was interesting. He made very specific criticism of Mehringer: he has so many bright ideas that he establishes no "tendencies" that set up "sequential plays and possibly gives the OL too much to learn. That can be corrected without his dismissal. George Wrighster points out that good coaches make bad player evaluations. The evaluations underlying the OL decisions were undoubtedly wrong. That said, was the problem talent or development? If the latter, things can improve. George W. said that several of Mehringer's run plays vs. UCLA would have been long gains except for one missed or poorly executed assignment. The combination of Fox at LT and Gernorris at RT seemed to work better, at least according to my superficial observation. Oregon has a superb kicking game and the defense may be reaching the level we hoped. (Perich was much improved and impactful vs. UCLA.) If Brock can be an effective "game manager," that is, get the ball to Johnson, Hill and Dak Moore while avoiding turnovers, we may have enough to beat everyone on the schedule but the Buckeyes. Minus the TOs, OBD probably would have defeated UCLA. In addition, Brock's speed (10.8 in the 100 meters) possibly can be exploited with some play calls. For instance, the inside read option?
