I was really dejected at the end of the game.  I was shocked we didn't run it on 3rd and 2 like many others were.  But you know what.  This is the law of averages rearing its ugly head.  We are not Oregon.  We don't blow other teams out.  We (typically) win close games.  And when you play a lot of close games, you are bound to lose some.

With our ball-control offense, we have fewer possessions per game than many other teams.  And we don't have the defense we had last year to really make that work.  We are still a good team.  But I think 9-3 is a realistic goal at this point.  I don't think we will beat Oregon and I think we will lose at least another game.
