If I am Dan Lanning, I tell my team

[Java]

we are winning first down on both sides of the ball they will wear down

we have more talent than they do, especially along the lines at linebacker in the running game, and in the defensive secondary. talent eventually wins  and first Down is the most important Down, and we are winning it

and Oregon gets the ball to start the half.

for uSc?  they are down two starters on defense, and obviously Mosley is not playing on offense and clearly they have no running game when they have to run like first Down is a running down, and USC is getting stuffed. would you trust this offense on 1/ third and two run? I would not

so I’m not sure what Riley has up his sleeve but if I’m Dan Landing, I really like where I am

Dylan raiola is an experience quarterback, third team all Big Ten last year. 5 star  and he makes 2 million a year.

so I think Oregon will be fine.  He’s a better downfield passer than Moore.  Just less inclined to run. And with Moore hurt I doubt he runs at all.

What’s interesting is that after the first run of the game by Oregon the number of rushes are even for both teams and so is the yardage

 

USC only has 115 yards passing. That is a huge problem. They have to be a better passing team than that especially if they’re only gonna run for 50 yardsm

Last year I felt that the talent gap between these two teams was about a three-year talent gap. Maybe it was two years but it was going to take a while for the talent to even out and it’s clear when I’m watching this game that Oregon still has a talent advantage. It may not be a two or three year gap at this point, but it’s still at least a year ahead of USC

the depth, the linebackers the defensive backs and maybe it’s not just a talent gap. It might just be the consistency of running a system

Boy Bowman is a beast. He dragged two or three guys about 5 yards and gained at least three after he should’ve been tackled. He is one aggressive, strong young bull

I don’t know what it is, but for some reason, Jordan just doesn’t seem to be the answer this season. I don’t know whether he’s a good blocking running back whether he’s a good receiving running back, but in terms of carrying the ball he just does not seem to be as effective this year

[Java]

For a team that cannot run for the tough yard. I don’t think if I am Lincoln Riley I go for it on fourth and three.

I don’t bet the game in the third quarter

 

on the other hand considering they have not been able to stop Oregon maybe they’re just praying they can hold Oregon to a field goal and score touchdowns on each of their possessions, but I really think you want to make this a one possession game by kicking a field goal
