On defense you're doing what you need to do and what the 4-3 is designed to do - make the opponent burn clock time, but keep them out of the end zone. I'll take this defensive performance every week.

It's a basic concept, although tough to execute. It's how Stanford and USC beat Oregon. Be physical, pound the ball, and keep their high-scoring offense off the field. If you can do it a few times then the quarterback, who is used to scoring on almost every drive, starts pressing and making mistakes.

If they'd attack the secondary, they'd be right in this. This short dump off shit is them beating themselves. This defense will give up plays 20-30 yards between the hashes.

I'm kind of waiting for them to say fuck it and start abusing the secondary.

You see how the OL got down the field on that screen to Dunbar? A beautiful thing.

We say a lot of shit about Jones, but he has so far put together one hell of an OL. Can't deny that.

3 time outs and the 2 minute warning. Let's see how Garrett manages this possession on what might be his best night of coaching so far.

And that is where the four turnovers I said we would collect, happens.

One down, three to go.
