Yes! Chip is pretty good at killing the clock, Looking back to 9 min milking the clock in one drive to seal close game win vs Cal in 2011.

He understood when it was time to hit the throttle and when it was time for clock killing mode; and even then
he usually killed the clock. Watching that pathetic three and out was---well---pathetic.
I think what's bothering a lot of us is we (largely) just watched a Chip Kelly type football game only to have the coaches revert to a pre-Chip Kelly mindset.
Like many have already stated: style points matter. We were shredding UCLA's defense only to come out with three unimaginative
running plays when UCLA knew that's what we were going to do.
Yesterday I was feeling very uncomfortable about the upcoming Washington game. After watching today's performance
I feel far better about taking them out in convincing fashion---but for all the reasons stated above, let's play 60 minutes of
football and make it convincing.

Re: #12 Oregon @ #18 UCLA
The game 99 percent over with 8 minutes left. Even though UCLA did some good things to close the gap, they still didn't do nearly enough.
The coaches certainly played those last 8 minutes not to lose, but they also played it safe and didn't risk further mistakes/injuries to our offense. About the only thing I really didn't like in that last 8 mins was giving up that one long passing TD. If you're going to commit to killing the clock, you can't allow those plays to happen.

If Oregon beat Arizona or if we we were still under the BCS, I wouldn't have such an issue with that final 10 min, but as of now, 1 loss with a playoff committee? Can't do that.

Re: #12 Oregon @ #18 UCLA
Direct from the play by play chart: Oregon ball with 9:46 remaining in the 4th quarter.
**********************************************************************
Ka'imi Fairbairn kickoff for 65 yds , Charles Nelson return for 15 yds to the Oregn 15 42 18
1st and 10 at ORE 15 Thomas Tyner run for 4 yds to the Oregn 19
2nd and 6 at ORE 19 Thomas Tyner run for 1 yd to the Oregn 20
3rd and 5 at ORE 20 Thomas Tyner run for 3 yds to the Oregn 23
Timeout UCLA, clock 08:07
4th and 2 at ORE 23 Ian Wheeler punt for 44 yds, downed at the UCLA 33.
ORE DRIVE TOTALS: 3 plays, 8 yards, 1:48
Ten minutes to go in the game and all we needed was a few more first downs
to wrap up a dominating victory. There was no reason to hand the ball right back to them.
Good----now I've got it out of my system---on to the Washington game.

Re: #12 Oregon @ #18 UCLA
I remember lots of games that Chip packed it in, especially on the O side of the ball. To act like he didn't, is either just forgetfulness on your part or you don't want to admit it. I give you Fresno St if your want to argue the point. Btw Cal was horrible in the chip years, i wouldn't use them to make your arguments.

I'm not trying to be a smart a$$ but Chip knew how to put a football game away. As for the Fresno State game,
we gave up 9 points in the 4th quarter and we won the game 42-25. It was also the 2nd game of the year
and we were still working out the kinks.

Re: #12 Oregon @ #18 UCLA
I can easily list 10 games Chip let the other team rack up points and stats during garbage time. I would have loved for us to do more than 3 dives up the middle and prevent on defense, but as Buckmark correctly stated, all Oregon coaches have done this and Helfrich isn't going to be any different.

Re: #12 Oregon @ #18 UCLA
Against ASU, Bennett had a pick six. WSU, Leach was being a tool. but that's typical for him. But regardless, yes Chip let off the gas, but not as bad, and also, we're in a new age of football. 1 loss teams are going to be competing to be in the playoffs, and considering we have a committee now that considers scores rather than computers that don't, it's more important to not let up as badly as Helf and DP did today.GrandpaDuck wrote:I can easily list 10 games Chip let the other team rack up points and stats during garbage time.

Re: #12 Oregon @ #18 UCLA
Arkansas State was demolished 50-3 with 8 minutes to go in the 2nd quarter. It was frustrating watching our 3rd string give up late points but the end result was a more experienced team that solidly beat Kansas State.OregonFan4Life wrote:Against ASU, Bennett had a pick six.

Fresno State was a brain fart and as stated above, we only gave up 9 4th quarter points.
We gave up huge points to WSU last year under Helfrich, not Kelly.
Oregon gave up only two late touchdowns to ASU in 2012 and the final score was 43-21.

Re: #12 Oregon @ #18 UCLA
Kelly went deep to the bench with 10 minutes to go against ASU, the fact that ASU only scored 14 points against the subs instead of 20 like UCLA is because ASU wasn't as good at garbage time ball as UCLA and Arkansas State (31 GT points) were. It wasn't because Kelly put his starters back in because he didn't. Kelly pulled his starters in games like this repeatedly.cmmadness wrote:Arkansas State was demolished 50-3 with 8 minutes to go in the 2nd quarter.

Re: #12 Oregon @ #18 UCLA
That ASU game was a horror for them. We put on the brakes before the half.
Ok Ducks - considering the last game, this one was a gem. I believe more changes are forthcoming and they will be good ones. Perhaps DP went back to his basic D as an experiment. Hopefully he has learned that his old ways are bad for the team and he will adjust as he did some of this game.

21 points in 8 minutes as did Helfrich today.
The genius of Chip Kelly (among many other things) was his ability to defeat and demoralize an opponent
to the point where they gave up psychologically. Only then would he let his foot off the gas pedal. The Arkansas State and
Arizona State games were exactly that.
We might be splitting hairs here and no reason to keep going over it other than to say this:
The 4th quarter simply "felt wrong." We were up 42-10 and jambing the ball down UCLA's throat. Then we went into
clock killing mode and handed the ball off to Tyner three times in a row up the middle, taking less than 2:00 minutes
off the clock in the process. It's just my opinion but I'm thinking Chip Kelly puts one more touchdown on the board: (Oregon 49-10)
and kills more clock time.
Grandpa Duck: Good conversation and on Washington next week.
