Run it Back is a weekly sampling of thoughts following the previous game. The “facts” presented are factual because the blog says so. Following up on last week, ok, so it is possible Run it Back will be renamed to Cliff Harris. 1. There’s a reason LaMichael James is running back 1A. I’m not even [...]
Is Justin Wilcox Really A Problem?
Oregon may be playing an SEC team Saturday, but they might as well be preparing for the WAC. While you might think that’s a stinging statement about the current state of the Volunteers football program, it’s actually where the Ducks are going to find most of Tennessee’s game film. That’s because new Tennessee coach Derek [...]

Quarterback Nate Costa had an awful day throwing the ball, but freshman Rick James showed he’s a star in the making gaining over 150 yards on the [...]
Some Ideas For the Offensive Game Plan
Oregon’s vaunted offense started to come alive in the second half of the Purdue game. It “flashed” as coach Chip Kelly would say, but it’s still missing something. You don’t get the sense that every third down play is a conversion waiting to happen. Well, fortunately, despite a lack of any relevant coaching or playing [...]
Answering Yesterday's Question…No, Boise Can't Win
I played nice for a day. I pondered the reasons Boise State might win this football game on Thursday. Turns out, I probably should risk everything and put all I have on an Oregon win. It’s a lock. Here’s why. Revenge. I normally don’t get too hyped on the revenge angle. It has failed to [...]
