we tried to outcoach ourselves by playing zone early and it bit us in the a$$. By the time we adjusted the game was pretty over. Coaching cost us big time on defense the first half.
I lost a little faith in our defense last night....shades of 2012 and 2013 returned.
One game does not a season make.
I questioned the scheme at Oregon last year (yeah I know) because primarily how we were playing the safeties - we seemed to walk up the
weak side safety and it burned us at least a half dozen times. We did the same thing the next game but then it went away.
BTW, the two big TDs by Cooper were against Man defense - the 2nd Sutton just got beat, fell hook, line and sinker to the in fake. Did he expect safety help over the top, I don't know but that was McNeil's side of the defense.
