Quack Fix: Emphasis on the Running Game, Costa Hurt His Knee Again, Cross Country

PrintYou know what time it is. Black and yellow, black and yellow.
- For all the hype the Oregon backfield had going into the LSU game, the unit only managed 95 yards on the ground as a team. That will be one of the major points of emphasis going into this weekend's game against Nevada. People always look for answers after these types of games but there was no question that LaMichael James wasn't as decisive in the game as he was last year. I expect that to change against Nevada.
- One of my favorite Duck players of all time, Nate Costa, had a difficult decision to make. It wasn't just his football career that was cut short by a knee injury. He also hurt his knee while at the police academy. Some of you noticed his appearance on "Talking Ducks" and wondered why he was there. Now you know.
- Even though football couldn't beat up on LSU last weekend, Women's Soccer heads to Baton Rouge for a tournament called, strangely enough, the LSU Tournament. If you haven't been following the soccer team, they're 4-0-1 with a shutout streak going.
- Need a preview of Pac-12 Cross Country? The Ducks are ranked 4th coming into the season.
- Now that Men's Basketball is back from Italy, it's time to go to work. The experience overseas not only gave the young Ducks awesome memories to take with them, they also got to see some of their flaws and weaknesses exploited. Valuable experience before the upcoming season.
- The KVAL news team gives us some predictions on the score this Saturday. Personal take is this is a must win game. There is a lot that could go wrong in this game. Yes, I know that Nevada has lost many players from last year. Yes, I know that Vegas has them as a supreme underdog but anything can happen on any given Saturday. I know that many of us don't want to admit it but we could very well lose this game. Yes, full on PANIC mode.
The quack. You have it now.

You go off to college and get all rational? This is freaking blasphemy. Why hasn’t anyone banned CaxemenDuck yet?
For those who don’t know the history, I’ll provide my yearly recap on this:
For the record, the Cal game last year (2009) is where we started this whole thing. I know it was after Boise State because CaDuck had Blount#9 as his username and changed it because of that. He changed it to Masoli#8 and Masoli’s performance went promptly into the shitter. CaDuck’s jersey contest picks were also horrible, so I suggested he change his username every week to someone on the opposing team. I wanted him to change his name to Best#4 before the Cal game last year, but he decided to go with CaDuck and just change the screen image each week.
The curse is clearly still alive, Steven, regardless of whether you now think you are too grown up for that because you are in college now. I vote that if he doesn’t cooperate, the mods change his screen name to either CaxemenDuck or BartmanDuck.

When will we know about Cliff/Kiko?
Even if he doesnt return kicks,
He will get more than two touches at runningback this week. When he does get those touches, Nevada’s defense will be worn down seeing as they would have been dealing with LMJ for a while. I can see him taking some huge chunks of yardage.
If it’s remotely like last week DAT will be the only competent receiver and will add seventy yards there too!

Ken Goe has a preview of the Nevada game, while looking back at LSU.
Link.
An advantage to option football is that it forces an unblocked defender to choose between taking the guy with the ball or the guy to whom he can give the ball. If read correctly, either way the defender is wrong.
But defenses also can predetermine which player carries. It looked to me as if the Tigers’ game plan was for the unblocked defender to play the quarterback, forcing Thomas to hand off, in the belief their defensive front could seal the middle and leave James nowhere to run.
I thought it worked. Thomas handed off and James had no running lanes.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I have been under the distinct impression that Thomas is making some incorrect reads here.
Specifically, the play that first saw LaMike start limping was one where he was tackled behind by LSU’s DE named Mingo. The annoucers (and subsequently many people all over the internet) pointed that out as “SEC Speed” being too much for even LaMichael.
I am fairly certain that Thomas should have pulled that ball, as Mingo committed to LaMichael…which was also the reason he was able to catch him from behind.
Anyone else know the play I am speaking of? Differing opinions?
I don't mean to impose...
The thing is, the defender is left unblocked - intentionally.
Thomas made the right read on that play. He didn’t crash down on to the RB – but he did make a play after Thomas made the decision.
The reason why Mingo made the play, is two reasons.
1. The offensive line got no push to make a hole for LMJ.
2. LMJ waited too long for a hole to open up. He was not running, he was hesitating and being TOO patient – waiting for the play to develop when the O-Line made no push. He was thinking, not reacting.
It's spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-I-M-P-A-T-I-E-N-T".
"YOU ARE THE KING OF THE AWESOME GUYS, JSHUFELT!!!" - daisyduck
Man, I know it is with the best of intentions, but the suggestion in your subject line that I might not realize that he is left unblocked intentionally is maddening.
Anyways, whatever CK’s reasoning, the play calling was terribly vanilla and not at all what I expected to see. And this is discounting the post turnover offense when our hand was forced.
People around here have heaped a lot of the blame on the wide receiver corps. While I would never suggest that they don’t deserve some of the blame, Thomas was not giving them balls that they could do anything with. The one deep ball he threw was terrible. The first pass of the game to LaMike was terrible and didn’t allow him any chance to turn and make a play. The following 4 or 5 passes were all off target, most of which were not going more than 5 yards beyond the line of scrimmage.
I don't mean to impose...
I apologize for sounding condescending. I didn't mean to imply or suggest you didn't know that.
When it comes down to discussions like this, I try and be detailed yet fundamental so someone who might not, whether an opposing fan, or a casual fan that doesn’t know how the zone read works, could follow.
Again, I apologize. I meant no disrespect towards you, nor did I assume you didn’t know that.
I also agree with you about Thomas being off. Neither him nor the receivers helped each other out.

by NICKPAPAGEORGIOTHEDUCK on Sep 9, 2011 1:32 PM PDT up reply actions
I believe...
…I read somewhere that Mingo had stayed home on DT on that play then was able to react and chase down LaMike. Also have read that LSU had the outside backers showing that they were taking DT, so that was why he handed off all the time.
"Sweet home Alabama"
Play that dead band's song
Turn those speakers up full blast
Play it all night long.
The line backers staying or not shouldn’t affect the read. In that situation (assuming the DE/DT being read commits to our RB) Thomas isn’t expected to break it deep, but rather to get what he can, whether it be 8 yards or 2 yards. That linebacker will likely be expected to make a solo open field tackle, which should give Thomas the ability to gain at least a few yards (the LB generally cannot commit forward until he is sure the QB has the ball and is coming forward, lest we play action and hit a TE/WR coming in shallow where he vacated).
I don't mean to impose...
This was part of the problem I think, and has been pointed out here several times.
Thomas HAS to keep the ball sometimes, even if he gets tackled for no gain. Screw it, even if he takes a loss, he needs to keep the ball a few times. If he doesn’t ever keep it, then we might as well not run a mesh point. We might as well utilize our speed and run pitch plays to Lamichael
by NICKPAPAGEORGIOTHEDUCK on Sep 9, 2011 1:34 PM PDT up reply actions
I kinda wonder if the conservative playcalling with regarding to DT keepers was a result of having questionable, inexperienced depth behind him, a horrifying LSU d-line, and it being the first game of the season.
I fully expect that dimension of the playbook to be more open in almost any other scenario this season, save perhaps Missouri State.

I think you are right on.
Someone else brought this up and I really hadn’t thought of it.
If DT were to have gotten hurt in that game, we would have just packed it in. He certainly is a HUGE leader in this team, and though I have a lot of faith in the abilities of BB, having a 2nd string QB with exactly zero live reps is not a great time to start sending your QB out running against one of the best defenses in the country.
by NICKPAPAGEORGIOTHEDUCK on Sep 9, 2011 1:58 PM PDT up reply actions
That is a truly terrible idea, and misses the entire point of the zone read. You are making a huge assumption that because Darron Thomas is handing the ball off, the defenders are not having to account for him. This just is simply not true.

You are correct that it doesn’t mean they have to account for him. But I will argue to the cows come home that running the ball a bit more (even if for a loss) will make the defenders wait those extra couple tenths of a second before they go charging after our RB

I am going to just copy and paste this from the other article comment:
I don’t mean to be offensive, and maybe I just need a bit of sleep, so excuse me if I sound a bit snippy – But that’s just not how it works. I’ve seen this a lot all over the place, and the only reason I can think of why people say this is because of ignorance of how a zone read works.
First of all, keeping despite a bad read is a quick way to getting your QB hurt or cause turnovers. I shouldn’t have to go any further, but I will.
Second, Our offense does have the threat of a running QB – even when the QB doesn’t have any rushing attempts. Period! DONE!
By nature of the spread option, the QB is going to hand off the ball. Every time. It’s not designed to keep – it’s designed to hand off every time. The ONLY time the QB should EVER keep the ball – EVER – is when the designed running lane for the QB is there – because it will net MASSIVE yards with a reasonably quick QB. Why? Because there is more than a plus 1 man advantage for the offense when the zone read crashes down to the RB.
When the QB does the play, as designed, you put the ball in the hands of a player who is built, trained, and coach to run with the ball and take hits – and you do it with an even or plus 1 man advantage – because you isolate a player on the edge – who can’t make a tackle.

I keep hearing about how DT is not a threat to run the ball.
Cripes. Didn’t he have over 500 yards last year? Didn’t that put him 3rd all time on QB rushing, behind only Ogburn and Masoli?
He’s not Dan Fouts, exactly.
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ.
Go back and watch the 2007 season prior to Zona and then come back....
Dixon kept on some plays when he shouldn’t have. Masoli did this too (maybe even more so). He also road the mesh point with J-Stew WAY longer than I’ve since seen be done.

You may be correct.....
I would go spend an hour or so watching highlights on youtube to try to prove my point, but I have way too much studying to do. So I’ll just concede.
You guys are most likely correct. LSU forced DT to keep the ball, and he did what he should have done.
Lets just be happy we shouldn’t have to play another defense this year with anywhere near that much speed outside the confines of Autzen stadium (until bowl season).

the whole point of having the mesh is to keep the defender at home
if the defender is staying at home dt always hands off, what point is there to keep it if the guy is always respecing the keep.
www.searchingforakilismith.com
i respectfully disagree
the de waited for the handoff before chasing lamichael, had darron kept it the de would’ve stayed at home and been able to tackle him. the problem was james wasn’t hitting the hole sprinting, he was jogging waiting for a whole to open.

Goe's article was pretty decent
especially debunking the “LMJ has lost a step” nonsense.
But this comment was a bit overdone:
the UO offense looked more like a high-mileage Honda Civic with a flat tire and a valve problem.
Obviously, Oregon didn’t sprint up and down the field, but did anyone really expect that?
What this type of analysis overlooks is actually how well Oregon’s offense played against a premier defense. Oregon outgained LSU 335 to 273 yards. 335 yards isn’t all that bad. Oregon had the same number of 1st downs, and had better 3rd down conversions and more passing yards (240 yards to LSU’s 98 yards). LSU rushed for 85 more yards, but had nearly twice the attempts.
Oregon’s defense held LSU to 3.6 YPC, which only three teams did as well last year versus LSU. Oregon was held to 3.4 YPC.
That game (as we all know) came down to turnovers and penalties. Plain and simple. While not as pretty or easy as we are used to, the offense gained yards and if 4 possessions hadn’t ended in turnovers we could have very well seen 450 plus yards put on LSU. Hell take away the penalties alone and we’re at around 420 yards.
So, not really a high mileage civic with a flat. More like a high performance car that needed a little tune up because every once in a while a cylinder misfired.
My parents believed in me.
Adam Jude has a piece on De'Anthony Thomas
Titled Beyond The Hype
"Real humble kid. Very humble," said Robert Garrett, Thomas’ coach at Crenshaw High School. "You never see him boast or brag or none of that flashy stuff. He’s real humble and grateful for the opportunity, and you don’t see that often with a kid with those (athletic) attributes."
Well, besides pulling a Locker during the LSU game. But he seemed to learn pretty quickly from that.

Here's a question for you guys.
When reading coverage about the Colorado / Cal game this weekend, I keep seeing things like this:
The Pac-12 game that’s not a Pac-12 game: Because the Buffs and Bears scheduled a home-and-home long before Colorado defected from the Big 12, the result goes in the books as a non-conference game and won’t count for or against either in the Pac-12 standings.
Didn’t we have the exact same thing with Utah? How were we able to break that if CU/Cal had to keep theirs up? Was it just as simple as “Oregon and Utah were able to find replacement games, and CU/Cal weren’t”? And if so, is Missouri State our replacement game, or is it Nevada?
"[Autzen Stadium's] steep concrete banks and closed ends turn a small but rabid crowd from WAC-sized cheering section into a horde of bees with megaphones capable of reaching 127 decibels of hatenoise." -Spencer Hall
Here's a theory
the pac-12 scheduling randomizer of genius managed to have Utah miss Oregon this year, so we couldn’t be “added back in”…however, Colorado and Cal were “randomly” scheduled anyways, so the game stayed.

Utah had to figure out what to do to adjust to a 9-conference schedule.
I believe there was some early talks, but Utah essentially wanted the game to count as a conference game, and a non-conference game for us.
