Kelly has UCLA absolutely humming on offense.
They’re scoring at a higher PPD rate than any of his years as the Oregon HC.
Nearly 4pts per drive excluding garbage time. That’s impressive.
Saturday will be very revealing for a lot of programs - not just UO/UCLA - based on how that game goes.
Disagree. It’s a college football cliche that “We’re really going to find out about this team this week.”
College football doesn’t work that way.
If it did Oregon is smashing Washington based on the Arizona and Standford games.
None of us believe that to be the case.
Disagree. If they handle UCLA rather easily then I don't see them losing another game. I don't think we will handle them easily. We all know how good a coach Chip is. After a bye week, beating him, even in Autzen is going to be tough.
So if Oregon wins by 4 what does that mean? .500 rest of the way? Or do we have to wait until Utah to REALLY see what this team is made of?
If a blowout means something so would any other result.
Individual game results mean nothing. They are vastly overrated in college football due to so few games and unbalanced schedules. It’s just something we tell ourselves.
I agree that they are not mathematical proofs informing what will happen in the future. But they do inform. For example, if a team hasn't played anybody yet and then wins or loses big when they do play somebody, you have relevant information as the result of that game. Look at UW for a recent example. Running through the first part of their schedule had hopes pretty high, and then Michigan State continued to show who they are and then UW ran into UCLA. All of sudden, the party has been put on hold even with a 5-2 record.
The games mean something.
