Quack Fix: LMJ named Pac-12 POTW and a look at the defensive numbers against Arizona

PrintYou see weird things driving... I've never understood log trucks. Sometimes you'll be out on the highway, you see two big giant trucks loaded up with logs, and they pass each other on the highway... I don't understand that. I mean, if they need logs over there... and they need 'em over there, you'd think a phone call would save 'em a whole lot of trouble.
- Aaron Fentress' feature today focuses on the issue that has caused much gnashing of teeth from fans after Oregon's 56-31 victory in Tucson: the defense. Fentress digs a little deeper into the numbers to see how Oregon's defense compared to Stanford's in their victories against the Wildcats, noting that Oregon ultimately allowed slightly fewer yards per play (5.4 versus 5.2).
- LaMichael James was named the Pac-12 player of the week after his record-setting performance against Arizona on Saturday night. James set school records in single-game rushing yards (288) and all-purpose yards (363).
- In his weekly look around the conference, Bob Clark writes that Keith Price has been more than adequate in replacing the departed Jake Locker. And, Oregon returns to the top in his weekly ranking of the Pac-12, though he notes that Oregon's wins have come against opponents with a combined 2-9 record.
- Mel Kiper was also impressed with LMJ on Saturday and thinks that after one month, James' decision to return to school has helped enhance his NFL draft potential. (Note: this link is insider only, though the LMJ portion appears above the pay-wall.)
- And Willie Lyles is back in the headlines, this time for claiming that he was reimbursed for travel expenses by a Tennessee assistant football coach after paying for Lache Seastrunk's unofficial visit to Knoxville. This would be problematic in that schools can only pay for one official visit, which must occur during the recruit's academic senior year and Seastrunk had just finished his junior year.
- Ted Miller also had his usual flurry of activity yesterday. First, he also moved Oregon back up to #1 in his weekly power rankings after they "were slightly more dominant at Arizona than the Cardinal." Though, Miller is still predicting Stanford to the play in the Rose Bowl. In his look back over the weekend action, he names James as the standout on offense and Dion Jordan as the standout on defense.
- The Oregon volleyball team remains undefeated and atop the Pac-12 standings after sweeping newcomers Utah and Colorado last week. The squad held steady at #15 in the latest national poll.
- The Oregon cross country team has only one home meet on the schedule this season, the Bill Dellinger Invitational at Springfield Country Club this weekend. While nine teams are participating, the primary competition on the men's side will be between the #6 ranked Ducks and the Wisconsin, which is ranked #2. On the women's side, only the Ducks are ranked at #17.
Go Ducks!

Oh god,
Classes in the top floor of Deady are miserable. I remember sweating bullets in that classroom, all the while the windows were open and it was snowing outside.
Never took a class in Deady.
Sounds like I didn’t miss anything.

In my experience, it was raining so loud and hard it actually made a roaring sound. I have never seen or heard it rain that hard in my entire life. I hope to never experience that again.

GEO 306
Volcanoes and Earthquakes. It was upper division rocks for jocks with no prerequisite and no real text book. We had to pay the instructor some sort of lab/copy fee ($25-75 range) to Xerox course material. I thought it was pretty scandalous at the time. The first two weeks were spent transcribing overheads. Ironically, it helped me sell a Ford Explorer to a field scientist who worked for the USGS in Vancouver, WA.
I think it’s pretty cool the registrar has all the course catalogs going back to 1990 in PDF format. Sorry Benz, you may have to wait until teh googels comes up with a Sanskrit translator.

I am curious to see what the NCAA allegations are...
Lack of Institutional control?
I hope we can get away from this without to much damage done…
ssshhh....
So far there are no NCAA allegations against Oregon. There is a notice of inquiry, which means the NCAA is investigating, but there are no specific allegations.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I thought, based on Moseley’s piece when the NOI first came down, that the fact the NCAA issued an NOI meant that there WERE specific allegations, but that they were still being investigated. Once the NOI process is complete, those specific allegations can be revised, added to, or removed, depending on the results of the investigation, and the final verdict will come down.
Here’s the piece I’m referring to. Maybe “specific allegations” is the wrong term, but Oregon has been notified of facts collected by the NCAA as well as potential violations.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Right. And they won’t be surprised by whatever the NCAA finds. The NOI is really just a formality of the NCAA following due-process, finishing up all of their interviews, and establishing a timetable for when the whole thing will be wrapped up.
If there are any allegations made, Oregon will know about them before they receive a letter of allegations – if they receive one at all.
If the letter of allegations is placed, Oregon will have all the information the NCAA has and will be given the opportunity to dispute any allegations and sanctions imposed.

I had a feeling there would be more Kiffin fun coming out. Only question is, where does he fail up next?

Is because they’re on probation and so have to be particularly careful.

NCAA ‘violations’ are rather trite. The Tennessee violation is for allegedly reimbursing a recruit for his official visit – which is allowable – but doing it during the summer between his Jr and Sr year rather than during the recruit’s academic Sr year? This is not something that should matter.
it was an unofficial visit, I think
and it makes some sense. Would we want recruits making unofficials in 8th grade? With someone like Bongterrio as their campus esort? What if they decided to start driving DT around????

It was unofficial
But where did the 8th grade stuff come from? This visit was in 2009, the same time we were recruiting him.
I was pointing it out that while it may seem silly
for a school to get into trouble for bringing a recruit on a visit before his senior academic year, it makes sense for there to be a cutoff somewhere. Without it, prospects of any age could visit.

Oregon ultimately allowed slightly fewer yards per play (5.4 versus 5.2).
But they’re not counting the drops.

and they’re not counting the yards that they would have made if the Ducks didn’t tackle the players too!

I was just really shocked by how poorly the receivers caught the balls.
We were kind of lucky to be honest.. I think we would have been in a different situation if some of those balls where caught.
I know.. you can say the same for LSU if we didn’t shoot our selves in the foot we might have been #1 or #2 but still….
We need to improve our secondary and I think Cliffy needs to get the swagger back.

by OregOnDucks on Sep 27, 2011 10:34 AM PDT up reply actions
We were lucky, but we were also physically outmatched
Our DBs are in the range of 5’9"-6’1" (most are 5’10"-5’11"). UA’s receivers (including TEs) range from 5’11"-6’5", with most being in the 6’2"-6’4" range. Receivers tend to be taller than DBs, but UA’s receivers are taller than most. A good QB, which Foles is, can put the ball where only the receiver can catch it. This is even easier when there is a 4-6" height difference.

But there were moments where the coverage just wasn’t very good in the secondary as if the DB’s didn’t move quickly enough in their zones.

I'll have to go back and watch it again
But I remember at least some of the catches after “blown coverage” ocurred after we covered UA’s receivers well enough for the play to break down, forcing them to run back to the LOS.
Also, they’re human beings. They’re not perfect.

What do you consider a "breakdown?"
I watched the game again last night and completely agree with the assertion (I forget who made it) that we played zone coverage behind their receivers (“playing soft” or zone?). This is not faulty playing, but the defensive scheme we used in the UA game. Honestly, until now, I haven’t payed much attention to our DBs, especially when they’re not covering the receiver who was thrown the ball.
I also agree it makes more sense, especially when physically outmatched, to play behind/downfield from the receiver. While we may give up yards in the air, we’re not giving up touchdowns. Obviously, there is more to speed than height, but consistently allowing their receivers who have 5-7 inches on our DBs to run downfield from them with a QB known for his accuracy is a recipe for disaster. I say we schemed to our advantage, or at least, lessened their advantage.
That said, there were still instances where we blew the coverage. There were also instances UA did their job. One particular instance: Criner received an excellent seam block from a TE or slot receiver on a screen pass and was able to run for a first down (third or fourth quarter).

This is why the 5.2 vs 5.4 doesn't matter to me
Arizona moved the ball effectively for 1.5 quarters and soundly beat our D during that time. The rest of the time our D was fine. Our O buried them the whole game.
I was never worried about this game, but I was worried about how beatable our D looked for part of the game. A good team will not only play well for 20 minutes, they play for 60. If our D at its worst can be beat by AZ for 20 minutes, they can be beat by Furd for 60.
ORRRRRR
If our D is good enough to shut down one of the best passing offenses in the NCAA for 40, they should be able to shut down Furd for 60.

What’s the difference between DERP and SCHADENFREUDE?
I think axemen is actually right

You are derp. You stubbing your foot is schadenfreude.

Derp is the act of derping.
Schadenfreude is our enjoyment of said act.

Isn't reality TV what Schadenfreude is all about?

Discussion points from the twitterz
@ESPNU
Let’s talk some Pac-12 football. ASU, Stanford, USC??? Who is the best team in the Pac-12 and why? Best tweets make the show. #theexperts
@NateCostaCSNNW
Watching A Football Life on NFL Network. It is eerie seeing the similarities between Belichick and Coach Kelly. Eerie.
@patrickfinley: #UtahUtes’ Whittingham wants Div. I football to use NFL-like injury reporting system. Wonder what Chip Kelly say to that?

Did they really not mention Oregon as one of the best PAC 12 teams?

Good for LaMike
I had reservations about LaMike coming back for this season: worried he would get hurt after he wore down last season, his stock was at its peak, and that he didnt have much to prove.
But he came back and has looked much better for it. The receiving skills he has shown has impressed me the most but his explosiveness in general has been superb. With the depth at running back the coaches have been able to limit his touches to an extent.
Sometimes I think with all the high profile recruits such as Seastrunk or DaT we lose sight of how impressive LaMike is or how hard he will be able to replace one day.
(Plus he is doing it all this year while being a total fatass)

I always thought it would be better for him to come back
I think he would have been picked around the same time as Jaquizz if not just a little earlier.
There were many good running backs to compete with last year. I think by staying he will ensure he gets a higher draft pick. Granted he continues to play well – DUH!
ssshhh....

Unfortunately RBs just dont have the same value as they did in the past.
Maybe a 2nd rounder, probably 3rd.

With the new trend for more spread offense in the NFL
I think it might help him further.

Is anyone else getting the above “template” in both the subject line and message box every time they click “reply” and if so, is it an SBNation-wide change or just an ATQ one?

One of my all time favorites
He’s only 46, but we all know that Sabas likes to party. Not entirely shocking, but still, 46 is too damn young for a heart attack.

They are designed by Jaison WIliams as well
Unfortunately they probably won’t be available to the public
Do you think they inexplicably fall off
even though all indications are that they should be firmly clasped on your feet?
