Wyoming at Oregon gameday thread

[Smallriver]

Yep. the spread was like 43 points. Oregon has only like 100 or so more yards of offense. So yeah, those TOs really hurt.

Much respect for Mark Helfrich he could have easily left starters in and run the score up. He is ok in my book nice to see sportsmanship somewhere in this game of College Moneyball.

Yes indeed. Valuable experience for our stringers and walk-ons. Helfrich is not into style points. Actually we have two Freshmen on the O line today. Injuries are killing us so the young ones need to learn.

Your Cowboys played really hard. Impressed with their energy. Your coach is a winner obviously.

Thanks. It's also nice to see actual improvement (other than those TOs) game by game from the team. Next up is FAU followed up by Michigan State, who runs a similar offense and defense to ours.

he didn't do shit really since they still scored on every possession so how is that really letting off the gas?

Second string and freshman in the second half is letting off the gas. They could have easily blown this up to 60-70 they were scoring at will. They only scored 21 in the second half 27 in the 2nd quarter.

Agree, these were backups with walk ons and freshman in the 4th. our defense has to stop backups. Btw i havent heard much from Sonny puelatasi besides that penalty. He only has 1 assisted tackle in 3 games.

 

[laxwyo]

But how can the first string score more than everytime? No, they couldn't run up the score more than they did. Not enough time. Tell me exactly how first string could score more?

 

[Wyo2dal]

The same 27 point on the board in the 2nd quarter could have been on the board in the third quarter and potentially the fourth had they left starters in. I'm not sure how you see playing backups as running the score up because that score could have been a lot higher with starters in the game.

Just look at the drive summaries.

first string scored in 1:07, 2:15, 1:41, 1:35, 1:41 and 1:48

backups scored in 5:33 and punted once.

 

[Smallriver]

at least three, maybe four, Ducks TDs were under two minutes. If we had used the hurry up offense throughout then that is how we'd have scored more. Sixty was well within reach but what is the point? No sense risking more injuries the the starting rotation. The defense played really soft and gave you yards instead of points.

I respected the comment until you said the defense played soft, Your Defense didn't play soft it's not that amazing outside of your secondary. We moved the ball as well against your starters as your backups. Your offense is amazing that I give them all the credit in the world but your defense is nothing special.

 

[Smallriver]

Wyo2dal, but soft I meant that the D kept the ball in front of them most of the time. I don't like that kind of D, but it's worked so far. I am not saying they took it easy on you. Give yards instead of points is the deal. Your team gets a ton of credit for playing so hard.

Wyo2dal is correct. If I were an Oregon fan I would be really concerned that a Wyoming team with a below average O Line and an unproven quarterback were able to hang 450+ yards on my defense. Right now, your defense is not good enough to get you a national championship. As a matter of fact, without some serious improvement, I don't see Oregon in the hunt for the playoffs. You have the offense to take you to the promised land, but it takes defense to win a championship :twocents:

I will say they played a containment game more so but your D is suspect against a high power offense like your own you guys could be in for a loss. However that being said it was a solid day relatively easy on the injuries nothing extremely serious so GL the rest of the year. I hope your coaching staff fixes the D and you guys finally earn your NC Title you deserve it.

I'm not familiar with what any Pac 12 teams run spread/power etc but you don't have a schedule against a prolific spread offense like your own so you have that going for you. I'm sure you will be in the play offs unless something serious happens.

 

[fromolwyoming]

Yep. Oregon played anything but soft. A bunch of blitzes, trying to jam the receivers, and playing very aggressive and still allowed 450+ yards of offense by an o-line that has otherwise struggled in pass protection or run blocking (depending on the game) and a QB that up until this year, was 3rd string? Yeah, Oregon has some issues on defense they need to figure out.

I think they will figure out what needs to be done, I'm sure their coach is well aware that if Wyoming can put up those yards anyone can but they win by the sheer amount of points from quick scoring.

Wyoming that played Nebraska vs Oregon that played today would have been a really fun game too watch. Probably would have been crazy high scoring and basically no defense at all lol.

So

sick

of

losing.................

You really thought the Pokes would win? This team was basically an unknown going into the season. I see a lot good things so far this season considering where they are in the building process.

No I didn't, that's the point though isn't it? We're not even competitive.

So you expected that we would have a better day against them than MUS did? Seriously take those 3 TO's and give us just 14 point and we end the day with the same score as MSU had sure a win against #2 would be nice but this isn't Basketball.

This right here is such a big part of why we've sucked going on twenty years. You probably thought losing to Nebraska was a moral victory too. We got our asses handed to us today and we're all glad we covered the spread. That's not something to be proud of.

With your idiotic posts you might as well just go be a fan of an SEC Team that let's money play for them.

Saying we are happy about losing is just plain moronic on your part. Us being happy that we could find some good things on a day we got beat doesn't mean we are happy but you seem to be too stupid to realize that.

FYI people that are happy about us making the spread are gamblers they just want to win money.

We lost. We learned from it. The coaches make some adjustments and work on the weak spots, particularly the TOs. We beat the spread and many thought we may not even score a TD, let alone put up 450 yards of offense. While we lost, we also learned a lot more about this team. Take the positives from it and go with it. I doubt many teams could even slow down Oregon.

 

[jessejames02]

Yeah I'm done being negative. No more idiotic points. I knew we would be manhandled today doesn't mean I like it, but if people can support the browns year after year I can handle 15. Glad Bohl is here. Peace out.

No one likes that we lost but we have a lot more faith in Bohl and what he can do for the team. I know it's not going to come over night or in a years time but I certainly hope next time we play Oregon in Laramie that we can keep it close and maybe win.

I'll give Bohl a few years to get this program in shape but I believe he will have it in shape faster.

Sorry for the harsh response, Just tired of people thinking we are happy to lose just because we aren't mad on the forums and try to find something positive to take away from it.
