With 3 mediocre Dl and lbs back was the right scheme for Oregon? As far as I’m aware, Oregon actually wants to start with establishing the run and Byu should have schemed better to stop that, especially on first downs. They ran out the same game plan and defensive alignment they used for UsU and USc last year, and the Oregon OL and backs are vastly superior.

And it’s somewhat baffling that Sitake won’t acknowledge that when even Tuiaki’s did? And of course that during the game it took until after halftime for them to put another defender in the box, and even then they refuse to bring a safety up to support the run defense. When your giving up 6/7 yards a carry and long drives who cares that your not preventing a deep ball? This said, I don’t think #22 is the right starter at safety. We need more #1 who is a much better tackler and in coverage.
