Oregon Went From National Title Pick to Biggest Bust in College Football · Bleacher Report

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: This is my national champion preseason, the Oregon Ducks. Listen,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: last year was Clemson. Last year was Penn State. This
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: year is Oregon. Like, if the bus is going down
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the highway right now, if I'm driving, if I'm riding
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: on this Oregon bus, I'm taking both feet and I'm
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: jumping off.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: If you're driving the bus, you're jumping out? I'm putting
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: on cruise control and I'm out. I'm off the bus, bro.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I'm off. Like, I will take the consequences of.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Getting off the bus now, going 50 or 60, then
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: what it will.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Do down the road because it's going to crash. There's
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: too much to look at.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: When you see the Ducks, though, and you see the miscues,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: you see offensively, they really struggle to run the football.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: That's a problem.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: That's not going to fix itself with the offensive line.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Both new coordinators, it's not working great right now. The
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: defense giving up way too many big plays, and there's
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a breakdown to be done in there, I can promise you,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: with eye violation and not being where they're supposed to be.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: The Ducks right now, like, I.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: They're pretenders. They are. I think I need to come
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: on up there and give you mine, though. Don't forget
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: your pen. I'm going to borrow this magic pen and
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: see if... I'll grab yours. Okay, okay. Here we go.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Here we go. Now, we talk about pretenders. Big pretenders.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: You want pretenders or contenders first? Are you feeling optimistic
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: or are you feeling pessimistic? Uh-uh.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: I got to go with the pretenders, man. Because I
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: was so disappointed... You read everything, and you see all
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: about the guys who came back to this particular school,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: who wanted to have the first-round draft picks. Dante Moore
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: decided to come back. We're going to stay with him,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: and I'm going to give the pretender to Oregon. Very
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: disappointed in them from the prior game. Defensively, I think
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: this is where it starts. They gave up 237 rushing yards.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, that's Drew Messermaker. He makes
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: a living by throwing it in the air, but he.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Also got overtime yesterday by running it. Look at this,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: throwing it off of his back foot. This was an
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: all-out blitz, but ultimately, Coach Morris, what he did better
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: than what Dan Lanning's team did, was he had his
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: team ready to play in certain plays he knew the
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: tendencies of what they were getting ready to do.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: When it came time.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: To blitz, he blocked it up, allowed his quarterback to
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: have more time, and that allowed him to be able
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: to hit the deep shots downfield.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: So we both agree on Oregon. We both agree on Oregon,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: no doubt.
