Golf ball, garden hose.

 
Williams is the real deal off field malarkey aside

He could avoid the duck pass rush and find some open guys. He's basically going to need a Heisman game to win in Eugene

Like Penix did last year

Most elusive QB ive ever seen

That OL is nothing special
 

The initial spot didn’t get enough criticism from the announcers.

Terrible spot. It wasn’t 6” off, it was a yard & half off.

Yup, my initial reaction was he was close and worse case was 4th and inches and then they marked it a yard and a fucking half. I almost fell out of my chair which can obviously be tricky for a man of my proportions.
 
Long Johnson goes deep

This deep pitch play that worked several times seems to be a new wrinkle. Gives a little time for blocks to execute and lets the big johnson get up a head of speed. Team seemed to execute it well. Am I the only one not remembering us doing this in prior games?

They did it once or twice against Stanford or ASU IIRC. But it was definitely a new emphasis. Curious if it was USC specific or something we'll use going forward.

Because I’m a dork, I’m more interested to see whether they run the counters off that. That clip shows jet action, and there’s probably half dozen boot/play actions.

Can't wait for the pay off from this be a four-yard pass to Odunze which almost gets intercepted.

At a minimum, they’re at least showing the boot and if you watch Rome, he turns back like he might get a pass
