1. We are a YOUNG team. There is nothing we can do about this but take our lickings and get better. They don't handle adversity very well right now because of it either.
2. Speed, we have none. We will get it, but it's going to take a few recruiting classes in order to get there. Be patient, there are good coaches here, just got to get the horses they need.
3. Simms is NOT the problem. As I watched the flow of the offensive strategy, I noticed that we didn't want Simms to get us beat. That happened in '08 with Crompton as well. Now, I'm not a coach obviously, but I'm sure the film will show them a somewhat too conservative game plan. Just as the players have to learn to deal with adversity, the coaches are going to have to learn how to scheme in order to help them out of it too. It's early in this staff's time here, I'm going to be patient before calling for all the backups to come in on a knee jerk reaction.
4. O-Line looked fairly good on run protection, but is still VERY subject on pass protection. This will get better as the season rolls along, but it's still going to be an issue this year.
5. The storm screwed us. We had all the momentum at that point, and it allowed Oregon to reset.
6. Wilcox dialed up a great scheme to help stop them, but execution and the fact that Oregon's offense rattled off plays in 21 seconds or less, had our defense gassed.
7. Depth, we have none of it either. We pretty much go from 1's to 3's. There's not anything we can do about it now, so please don't go calling for a bunch of heads because of the situation that the last 2 coaching staff's have left us in.
8. WRAP IT UP!! No, I'm not talking about safe sex, I'm talking about fundamental tackling. We had too many attempts at Eric Berry type hits tonight, and it killed up. They will work on this, but it's going to be an issue the first part of the season.
9. The crowd was FREAKING electric!! Loved the noise, but they got killed the 2nd half.
10. I hope that the detested fans that left tonight understand where we are right now, and show up next weekend. I'll be there rooting them on, win or lose. This season is going to be like this, please don't punish the team because of it. Go support them and let them know you don't want them to quit midway through the season. We have some fickle fans right now, that's for sure.
All in all, I like our performance. I'm not too enthralled about losing, but I understand where we are as a team. We had a great first half, but I think we probably over thought the second half adjustments. Still hated losing, but was so glad to see the play an actual team. We will learn from this, so be patient.
