Game Thread: OREGON DUCKS vs ARIZOna STATE RIGHT NOW PAC-12 NETWORK

[OregonDucks]

The ASU uniforms are disgusting and I say that in a bad way.

Adidas in general makes awful uniforms that don't ever look good or seem to fit well. That giant pitch fork on the pants is stupid and they look like pennies out there. I was half expecting to see Abe Lincolns head on the side of their helmets.

 

[OregonDucks]

The only ASU uniforms I like are the ones they wore last week vs Wazzu....Sparky on the helmet is classic and they need to stick with it.

Wow. Crump, by FAR the best pass rusher on the team and the conference sack leader, just got hurt getting his 9th of the year. This team is cursed.

Edit: Moving around on the sidelines okay.

 

[CCF151]

Kid has to fling that thing out of bounds.

 

[WABLTY]

Our tackling is horribly bad. I've never seen it like this and I've seen plenty of shitty tackling at ASU before. Nearly every play people are just whiffing 2 or 3 times.

 

[WABLTY]

And the white running back trips and falls on his own in the open field. Sounds about right.

 

[CCF151]

Wait...their allowed to stop the other team's offense?!?

 

[WABLTY]

Oh, look. More missed tackles.

 

[Duckboy33]

Herbert and Tony Brooks-James look like a dangerous duo moving forward. Obviously gotta figure out the defense before making any noise but their is some potential for next year.

 

[WABLTY]

On our 4th string QB, missing 3 linemen on a OL that wasn't good to begin with, the rushing leader, missing several in the back 7 on defense that was already bad- I think we're the worst team in the Pac 12 right now.

 

[CCF151]

Oregon D is actually playing defense and kicking field goals...

What alternate reality am I in?

To be fair the Ducks are starting 4 freshmen on their o-line and have their share of injuries but not nearly what the Devils are dealing with.

 

[WABLTY]

It's not just the injuries. We've recruited fairly well. We should have some decent depth. It's player development and that started to rapidly go downhill once Graham hired his buddy Keith Patterson as DC.

Patterson's last 5 pass defense rankings:

2012 (West Virginia)- 122
2013 (WV) - 108
2014 (ASU) - 106
2015 (ASU) - 128 (last by 20 yards)
2016 (ASU) - 128 (last by 40 yards)

There was some nepotism and hiring of unqualified assistants out of misguided loyalty. I'm sure Graham and Patterson had some late nights when they were roommates and talked about all their goals and how they'd do it together, blah, blah blah, but Graham needs to cut the cord, take a step back and hire a real DC.

You guys hanging in, huh? Might have to flip over in a little bit.

More Oregon is bad, too, but sort of. It's not good football.
