Quack Fix: Coach Az making an impact and day #2 of Tennessee Week

PrintSorry for the abbreviated quack fix -- I had almost the entire post typed up before accidentally deleting it. Here's a recap:
- Rob Moseley's feature piece today is on everyone's favorite assistant coach: Jerry Azzinaro. In only his second season at Oregon, Coach Az has had a significant impact on both his players and the defense as a whole.
- John Hunt writes about Oregon heading into Neyland Stadium as 13.5-point favorites.
- Ted Miller's most recent blog entry looks at the poor performance on defense by some of the Pac-10 teams this past weekend, notably USC and Oregon State.
- George Schroeder asks around Knoxville for people's thoughts on former coach Lane Kiffin. Unsurprisingly, none of those thoughts are well-wishes.
- John Hunt posts his AP top 25 ballot on his blog. Oregon is up to #7 and fBSU is at #1.
- Moseley, Matt Prehm and Chris Courtney have part 2 of their video roundtable on recruiting. This segment focuses on players currently committed. There's some good summary information on the commits, so check it out.
- The Oregon volleyball team remained undefeated after coming from behind to beat the Seattle University Redhawks. The team will look to improve to 6-0 on the season tonight when they travel to take on Portland State.
- In case you missed the comments yesterday, former Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount was claimed off of waivers by Tampa Bay.
After the jump is a video interview with Chip Kelly on Tennessee.
Go Ducks!

I argued that Oregon wouldn't move up (other than passing VT)
due to inertia. It’s refreshing to see Hunt reward the actual performances of the teams in his top 10. I’ll be interested to see if other voters follow suit.
Getting hit by Eddie "Pleasant" is likely not as fun as advertised.
I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen.
One of the columnists in ESPN’s Gameday recap stated that you had to move teams like Florida and Oklahoma down after those performances even if they won. The point is that they can recover later, but based on the only evidence we have, they deserve to move down from where their preseason poll position.

Simply based on performance in the first week, here’s how I would rank the top ten:
fBSU
TCU
Alabama
Ohio St.
Oregon
Miami
Iowa
Nebraska
Texas
Florida
You can definitely make the case for switching a few teams around in there, but Florida, Texas, and Oklahoma all looked worse than those 8 teams I put ahead of them. No way the voters actually do that, but hey, you can hope, right?
Defending maligned chants since 2009
How can you put BSU at #1?
VT had bad coaching in trying to run out the clock and when they did get the ball back, BSUI had a CLEAR pass interferance that wasn’t called. If you grab a guys arm and pull it down and trap it against his body before the ball is there, that is PI. VT should have benn given a 1st down and 15 yards and still only needed 3 to tie. BSU deserves to stay where they are, no more or less.

He's not the only one
72-0 against anyone, let alone a non-FCS school, will get you noticed quickly.
I think we’ll end up 8th or 9th, possibly as high as 7th but I doubt it.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I don’t buy jumping fBSU over Ohio State or Alabama. I mean, if you had fBSU higher before, then leave them there. But they beat the #10 team by a field goal. If someone had Ohio State ranked in the top 3, doesn’t it stand to reason that they’d probably beat #10 VT by at least 3 points? It’s not like tOSU gave any reason to downgrade them. VT was a good win, but people are going a little overboard here. The same goes for TCU all the way up to #2 and jumping those teams.

VTech had nothing doing and Kellen was BCS worthy.

nothing doing? VT had the lead with 2 min left and the ball. Coaching mistakes and bad play calling led to no time coming off the clock and giving too much time to BSU at the end of the game.

I understand that argument. There are so many variables…how good is VT? How bad is Marshall? How much of a bump should fBSU get for essentially playing on the road? Personally, I think BSU’s victory was more impressive. It’s a strictly resume-based approach.
I wouldn’t argue with anyone who had tOSU or Alabama still ahead of fBSU.

The most important thing is that it is still too early for polls
There is no way to know who is better, I wish we would just wait.
Go Ducks.....Ducks Go!!!!!
Mostly, I just think it would be funny to put fBSU at #1 and then watch them slowly slip downwards as other teams build their resume and theirs gets worse.
I know there were lots of analogies being thrown around in the game thread last night, so here’s mine.
It would like if the BCS Championship selection was like a job interview.
Interviewer: So, Alabama, tell me about your experience?
Alabama (in suit and tie): Well, I started off sorting boxes at a shipping company, but they quickly moved me up to manager, and then regional director before giving me control over all domestic operations.
Interviewer: Very nice. Ohio State, how about you?
OSU (in old-fashioned, classy sweater vest): I built my company from the ground up. I started designing software in my home office, and I had to micro manage for awhile, but now I’m the president of a billion dollar company.
Interviewer: Impressive. Umm, Boise State?
fBSU (in stained apron and cut-off jeans): Hee-haw…ahem (clears throat)…Sorry. That happens sometimes. Anyway, so’s I did this thing in an office, and they paid me lots of money and I was pretty good at it, but that weren’t rilly my thing, ya know? So’s I went into the family business and I been cuttin’ taters and flippin’ burgers ever since.
Interviewer: Uh, thanks, Boise State. We’ll, uh, be in contact.

No one respects Tennessee
Nor should they given their last season (I’m not saying they’re not tough to beat at home but this early in the year, the past season has a substantial impact on the lines).

More trouble for the Vols
Via ESPN Rumors:
Tennessee’s top two receivers could be out in what will be a major test for the underdog Vols. Senior wide receiver Gerald Jones is definitely out with a broken hand, and fellow senior Denarius Moore could be on the sideline with a walking boot because of a tender ankle.
That means freshmen Justin Hunter and Da’Rick Rogers will be thrust onto the field Saturday against No. 11 Oregon. Neither was much of a factor against UT Martin Saturday — Rogers had one 9-yard reception — but both were highly-touted, four-star receivers coming out of high school.
Sophomore Zach Rogers will get the nod to replace Jones in the starting lineup, although Hunter and Da’Rick Rogers are right behind him. One of them may actually be starting next to him if Moore continues to wear the boot the rest of the week.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I was thinking the only issue our defense might have is the secondary, and it doesn’t look like they’ll be able to test us much with these issues.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
They DID run for 300+ yards last weekend
Granted it was against a crap team but it’ll be challenging.
It’ll be important not to get off to a slow start. If we can take the crowd out early, that would be great.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Does anyone know how they got those rushing yards? Are they a power running team? Because that’s what we’ve struggled with – teams with big O-Lines and big RB’s (see Stanford and tOSU). Their top rushers from their game Saturday were:
Tauren Poole: 5’ 11" 213 lbs Junior
Rajion Neal: 5’ 11" 215 lbs Freshman
David Oku: 5’ 10" 195 lbs Soph
Their O-Line is listed at:
Tackle: Dallas Thomas | 6-5, 268, So.
Tackle: JaWuan James | 6-7, 320, Fr.,
Guard: JerQuan Schofield | 6-6, 315, Fr.
Guard: Jarrod Shaw | 6-4, 332, Sr.
Center: Cody Pope | 6-6, 288, Jr.

It’s kind of interesting that Kirk Herbstreit pegs the ducks at #4 and doesn’t have Stanford ranked, but his pre-season prediction was that Stanford was going to win the conference title (if I remember right).

Could not be more excited. Although I’m nervous about our chances in the game itself, it will be one hell of a good time.
I like the sound of this: “perennial Pac-10 Conference powerhouse.”
We’re losing 11 starters off of this 2010 team to graduation. While we return some great players, there will certainly be some big time question marks. They lose only 6, and will have a Senior QB who could be excellent. However, they also have several Jr starters who could declare for the draft, so that number could go up a little.
Regardless, I’m excited and planning on going.

"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
The two places this will really hurt are the WR corps, where depth is an issue this year, and the D-line, which will be, once again, experiencing a lot of turnover.
The O-line will lose three starters, but two of the guys who will step in (Cody and Weems) already have a LOT of playing time under their belts. Losing Matthews and Paysinger will hurt, but the second string LBs are studs and should be ready to step in.
However, there will still be a ton of returning talent in the backfield and a ton of returning talent in the secondary. It’s not ideal, but I think we’ll be okay.

So Gene Stallings thinks Boise St would only win 3 games against a SEC schedule.
As reported on a Knoxville radio station today.
Wonder how they would do against Tennessee’s schedule this year? THat’s a reasonable proxy, isn’t it?
Here’s my stab at it. Feel free. (Home games in Boise, not Knoxville, of course.)
BSU’s 2010 SEC Schedule.. remember, this is based on the team we saw last night..
vs Tennesseee – Martin: W
vs Oregon - Tossup, but give them a L for the sake of argument L, unless Meyer doesn’t right the ship on offense, then W
vs Florida -
vs UAB — W
@ LSU — L
@ Georgia — W
vs Alabama — L
@ South Carolina — L
@ Memphis — W
vs Ole Miss — W
@ Vandy — W
vs Kentucky — W
7-5 at best? That’s still a lot more than 3 games.
Am I way off base? Anybody think they beat the Cocks on the road, or Bama at home, or LSU on the road?
Average Score Since 2004: Oregon 42 Washington 17
They would be 7-5 or 8-4 with that schedule
I agree.

"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Yes, I know
This is what I cant stand when ESPN or other sources talk about Barner, and only mention his rushing yardage. His all-purpose yards are what makes him such a great player, he does it all, he runs, he catches, and he returns kicks. Give him full credit, it kind of feels like he is getting cheated.

I liked all the pretty stickers
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Shocking
Barner was the offensive player of the week in the Pac and Harris the special team player of the week.

Does anyone have that picture of CK from practice last week? Looking super skinny.

Interesting 'development' about the tempo of the game on Saturday was revealed @ Oregon Club today.
When asked about whether the refs were intentionally slowing the pace of the game with delayed ball placement, CK said he talked with them (which they didn’t seem to appreciate much.) Then he said, they blamed the ball boys so he talked with the ‘the boys’ which helped a little but still wasn’t what he wanted.

He wanted faster?
Is that possible? Damn

God Damn, Kellen Moore plays behind a good O-line. He always goes untouched!
Seriously, I thought someone put the feed on fast forward when I was watching. I would skip ahead 30 seconds and then realize I missed two plays. Both of which ended in a Barner TD.
It’s hard to quantify it, but our depth and speed will be a killer for a team that doesn’t have the depth. I think this will be a great weapon against UT.

i heard peyton manning was jealous of our tempo.

I knew a guy who bought five or six of these back when Wayne’s World came out. He was damn sure there was going to be a renaissance of Pacermania after the movie and they’d triple or quadruple in value. Cornered the Eugene market in fact.
As far as I know they’re still rusting away somewhere behind his barn.

Welcome to the club, Cody Ross. You can stay at my house.
UNM looked winded in the second quarter.
Not only did our O just run right past them, but then they’d commit a TO and the D would have to be right back out there. I counted at least 3 times in the 2nd quarter where the D line didn’t even get down in a 3 point stance. You know how easy that makes it for our O line to block a guy who can’t even fire off the ball?
UT is going to sucking oxygen in the 3rd and 4th quarter if we play that fast.

Wes Rucker’s radio show update (Rob Mosely was on it today)
They are fascinated by 3 things:
1. That CK gets them up early in the morning to practice every day.
2. That we have the ability to practice inside to control the heat/humidity
3. That the PGA wouldn’t let Casey Martin use a golf cart – the host met him at a golf tourny and loves that he handed out Oregon gear to Tennessee fans.

That golf cart thing was ridiculous

i think they’re head would exploded if they found out he was the fashion coordinator also.

That's what he said it was for this year...a group of seniors pick the uniform combos
Ck was asked whether they’d ever do the ‘wildcat?’
He responded, “You mean the New Hampshire Wildcats?”
"If you can't copy 'em, don't imitate ''em."
YOGI BERRA
You know what would be cool? Let each player pick his OWN uniform combo.
Linemen could go with the all-white look, which makes them look big and fat. James and Barner could go all-black with the yellow shoes. Wideouts could go with the killer-bee look. LBs? Carbon steel. Etc.
Think of it. There wouldn’t be any confusion.. the other players could be easily identified as the ones who all looked the same.
