As expected Oregon/Missouri State was a blowout. What was not expected was Missouri State driving the ball down the field on the opening drive and putting up seven points on the Oregon defense. Clearly the Bears defense was extremely undermanned against the Ducks but their offense was decent early and put up some relatively nice rushing totals. If Oregon can’t do a better job of stopping the run they could drop a few games in the Pac 12 regular season particularly to schools with mobile QBs (Stanford, UW and Cal area all coming to mind). Darron Thomas looked like he was playing on the JV level in NCAA 2012 because his receivers were open at will but deep and short. LaMichael James averaged over 12 yards per carry and Colt Lyerla is showing off some of the potential that made him such a high level recruit. It appears as if Rashaun Vaughn is showing some chemistry with Darron Thomas and he may end up being that missing outside threat the team lacked against LSU. Cliff Harris again sparingly played and is reported to have some type of wrist injury. I think it is very likely he takes a lot of snaps versus Arizona as the Cats will be throwing a ton on Saturday. DeAnthony Thomas continues to show why he is one of the most exciting offensive players in the country. Oregon actually had Missouri State re-kick after their kicker launched a ball out of bounds. Thomas proceeded to take the kickoff back to the 44 yard line bettering Oregon’s yardage by four yards over what the penalty placement would have been at.
