Throwing the long ball as much as we did today is what I anticipated happening from the beginning of the season. I thought we have the receiver corps able to do it better than most, and we really saw it today. So great to see McClellan back.

Better late than never!

Solid! Boring second half as a football game, but a good kind of boring that a 10-0 half is.

I had no faith in our coaches to do this at the beginning of the season even though it was the right thing to do.

Jay is doing great as OC. Really happy with him, but I also wonder how much is Lanning finally willing to try different things that he can see fit the talents of the players have.

I wrote this after the Boise State game...

The Ducks Need to Unleash the Vertical Passing Game

Oregon survived Boise State a team that seems to bring out the worst in the Ducks.

And that feels like such a long time ago now.

But Charles I know you have been yelling about the vertical passing attack for longer than me. It's great to finally see it!

It helps when so many of the WRs are 5 stars. The only WR I saw not totally in a groove was Bair, and sort of gets a pass due to being out of football for two years.

I LOVE the long passes down the field. I am SO sick of previously seeing so many quick passes to a wide receiver that go nowhere. I am no football expert, by a long shot, however, it would seem the vertical game would enhance the chances of a quick pass as the DBs can't crowd the line of scrimmage.
