Considering they were on the field the entire game I can somewhat agree

Best it could do with the offense not being able to generate a first down to save its life.

They were going up against the Heisman winner/first overall pick and Oregon had almost 100 plays.

The 3-3-5 is still the defense to stop spread teams.

Yup. The D kept us in it for as long as they could, with the special teams and O shitting all over themselves. Then the D got gassed and got trucked.

Not going to fault the D in tonight's game.
It's long past time to bring this back to the court, let's do it with a small update:

Oregon ran 57 plays in the first half. 57!! Anu was clearly hurt, and has been for a month. The offense got nothing going, and the defense paid the price. They were worn out. When that happens against Oregon, you get what we got.

Proud of this team! Great job all year, guys!

Go Cats!!

This game is pretty much on the O and offensive coaching, but I didn't see the same defense you guys saw.

Was the defense already gassed in the 1Q when Oregon had this many plays in their drives?

10
10
8
3
9

How many times was Mariotta sacked? How many tackles for losses did the D have? How many times did Mariotta have to hurry his passes? How many 3rd and longs did the Cats' D give up? Oregon hurt themselves more by getting all those 1 half penalties, along with Mariotta missing a few wide open receivers.

Props to the defense for playing hard, but they were run all over the field from the start.

Very nice red box stops though in the beginning. But like we all can agree, the offense did them no favors.

Good post. The tackling appeared to regress to early in the season level too.

The D will give up yards and, to good teams, first downs. It's designed to keep them out of the endzone, which it did great at the beginning.

I really don't give two squirts how many plays Oregon's first quarter drives had, I care that they had 6 points after the first quarter. If the O was even partially alive, the game might go a bit differently since the D wouldn't be out there for the entire first half.

Those guys were too tired to tackle Freeman by the end of the first half. Freeman is a big, powerful dude and the Cats were just flat gassed. Oregon had around 22 minutes TOP in the first half. If the offense gets a couple of drives and some points in the first half, which gets the D off the field and gets them a cushion to work with, this is a much different game and would have Oregon feeling some heat in the second half. They held the Ducks to 6 points in their first few drives and the offense helped them out absolutely zilch. Ain't the defense's fault.
