There is some truth to that but really they are still very easy to scheme for. The way I recall the game - Oregon stood tough for a good portion of the game but what people don't realize is really they wanted to run the ball. The SEC you spread the ball, the good teams can still stuff the run. Which is what happened - actually Oregon's defense played better than I thought but really Oregon's offense just keep setting up LSU scores, iirc.

What was Oregon doing different than TAM, Missouri, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Baylor, etc. Not much really, they just go extra super Uncle Rico tempo instead of just regular Uncle Rico tempo.

Its bad football in my opinion, teams will be able to adjust in the SEC even with the super Uncle Rico tempo.
I'm hoping Chip lands in Florida, put the check mark next to that win when you see the schedule come out.

Don't get me wrong, it will work on some teams, maybe quite a bit but that is really the type of teams LSU has lived on over the last 8 years or so. I'm not sure LSU even tries to scheme against TAM anymore, just pull the notes out from the last year - rinse and repeat.

Remove the super duper tempo, not sure Oregon would have cross their own 35. Its all about the super duper tempo - they call him a genius because he tell his guys to run up the field before the refs get to the line of scrimmage. Don't get me wrong it can be tough for a good portion of teams to handle - not sure it works in the SEC, probably not the SECW - either way some stupid looking football. imo

If Chip Kelly lands in Florida it will be Urban Meyer part II. If you haven't noticed, the SEC is Alabama....four steps down to Georgia and then varying degrees of garbage throughout the conference.

LSU converted 3 tds on Oregon's 4 turnovers. Oregon moved the ball well and outgained LSU by over 100 yards. TOs decided the ballgame.

The reason it works for Urban is he uses a more traditional approach - power rushing football. The only thing Chip knows about power is powering his way to the front of the Dunkin Donuts line.

Aloof, standoffish, despises small talk. "Weird" personality - even his closest friends admit. Hates speaking engagements. How does a guy like that recruit?

Doesn't seem at all like a good fit in an SEC culture. He won't want to speak to the Dickson Rotary Club or the Sweetwater Kiwanis. No Vol Walk for him, because "eww - fans wanting to high five me".

Yeah, yeah I know the record at Oregon. Eugene is not Knoxville.

I wanted him at first but I totally agree with you

Sounds about right. LSU really didn't need to do much, if I remember LSU's defense did get a little winded down the stretch and Oregon got a couple of easy scores with their super duper Uncle Rico tempo. Kind of like watching Uncle Rico on the Benny Hill show (if you are old enough to remember Benny Hill).

They were forced to pass.

His Oregon teams averaged around 300 yards rushing per game. His offense is run based. Not sure how many people realize that.

Yup, they want to run the ball but Chip doesn't really get the whole power running thing - his scam is the super duper uptempo stuff. Urban took some ideas from the spread and mix in traditional power football blocking and add in a big ass QB = hard to handle at times. Auburn is doing the same thing, they just don't have a power QB to make the complete show happen. imo

There just isn't that many fast and power 245-260 lbs. QB floating around like Newton or Tebow. imo

No, your Rico reference is not landing. Only Uncle Rico I know of was from Napolean Dynomite. Uncle Rico always reminded me of VN's obsession with the backup QB that everyone said could fling it 70 yards from one knee... Bo Hardegree, I think.

Yes, because Nicky Satan has such a magnetic personality! Nothing more compelling than watching a Nicky Satan press conference.

The press are morons, and Saban treats them with all the respect they deserve. How many times can you ask the same damn dumb questions and expect a different result?

This was Oregon football to me. I would say it was worse than that - like adding in Benny Hill.

Benny Hill Chase Scene - YouTube

I say each his own, not my type of football, he could probably win some games but it kind of hard to even watch.

Or in Jones’ case, be asked a thousand different questions and still have the same results.

So if fumbles aren't important because they detract from what an offense really does, we should just hand the ball back to the team that dropped it? Apparently that's the process that makes offense more important than defense in the minds of great football analysts.

The biggest fumble that decided that game was on a punt that Barner muffed and Tyron Mathieu scooped and scored. So neither the offense nor defense really impacted the final result more than the special teams.

That's sounds almost like you are talking about that other coach what's his name???? :question:

Mick Baben? That coach who wins all them there games down at Alybammer. :crazy:

Yeah, Who'd want a nut like that? He only has an amazing record in only 4 years as a Collegiate Head Coach.
