I felt like they were forcing her forwards in both halves but must have decided not to push it in the second half.
She went off tackle but the blocking broke down and she was stopped for a 2 yd gain......
But Mark Johnson made it sound like she made it to at least the 40 yd line.
She did okay in the first half. Second half was one of the worst. She was feeling the team.
I'm just saying, MJ makes a 2 yard gain sound like a 40 yard gain. That's all.

Nothing worst that what sounds like a great play, for him to come back five seconds later with 2nd and 9 Buffs and start calling out the formation
It's conditioning...he stuck with the program for how many years when we sucked balls.
His job is dependent on keeping the listening public interested in what's gonna happen next...I think he's pretty good at it actually, way better than Dave Logan for the donks.
MJ is great at his job and is actually a friend of mine. Love him on the radio. It was a joke based on something someone said last week during the game about the broadcast.
Not if they're told properly, with the appropriate pause for timing
Wait a second, don’t be clocky
Has Ralphie always ran in the second half throughout history?
Maybe, just maybe she should not run the second half?
As long as I have been going to games, which is at least through 3 Ralphies(?)
Well new day
Maybe she only plays 1 half
We can give her to ND St for canceling that stupid game next year.

Maybe she's feeling left out. How about getting her a large gold chain, or some silver Nike hoof covers.
Push this Ralphie into the portal and she might be made into some "Louis"

FIFY, cant believe you missed that opportunity
It is amazing how dumb people are with wild animals.
The funny part is (and I agree, you are correct) that Oregon is where they are BECAUSE of the flash. Lanning knows that. So he tried to flip the script and say it was because of substance and history. But he knows that if Prime keeps going the way he is, the type of kids that want to play at Oregon are the ones that will jump ship to CU in a heartbeat.
Even with all their advantages, Oregon just can’t seem to rise to a level where they are considered a serious contender. They lose the big games, like to Washington or even OSU at times. They’re just always a bit below. They’ve kind of hit their ceiling.
Polarizing is a good term
Those who love him will give him the benefit of doubt. They will always be aligned with his vision. The media loves him. The sports talk guys adore Prime. It puts CU in the national eye.
Those who hate like reddit or the typical white bread college football fan will always look down, move the goalposts, use quotes within press conferences to attack him.
What CU fans are is fans. They will support as long as its going in the right direction. It's just that simple. It bothers some CU fans to go on reddit and see Prime get killed for something that you clearly understand but when it's Prime, it will be 10x because they don't like him and if it's good, they will look passed it or move the goalpost. It is what it is.
Prime is loved. He also is hated. It is what it is.

id be happy to be at the ducks level right now
They had a single highlight of him making a tackle. One where he knifed into the backfield and took down the RB on a draw (or whatever).

first, I'm still fully on-board the Deion Sanders' train
I am questioning his personal accountability, though. IIRC, only once during a presser has he said "that's on me". He's publicly challenged commitment of players (without seeming to acknowledge his role as HC in motivating them, or even his role in selecting these players he now feels lack commitment). He's publicly implied mistakes were made by assistant coaches, but not by himself.
I admire personal accountability and consider it a strong trait of great leaders.
am I missing something? is he more accountable than I'm giving him credit for being?
or is this something like the Trumpian "be an alpha and never admit mistakes" schtick? am I mistaken to consider accountability as a positive trait for a head coach?
I just watched the UA presser and, while I didn't hear personal accountability, nor did I hear anything that seemingly blamed others. He speak critically about player matchups and not so much about game day strategy, but I'll take that as a step forward.
again, I'm still 100% supportive of HCDS -- but I'm not getting a good feeling around this singular aspect and kind of hoping it's just selective information that I'm recalling.

Fair observation, I have tried to analyze the same thing.
I think he takes almost 100% accountability on everything, but I do not think he likes to if it is something he personally would not have screwed up.
The Lewis thing is a break-up/divorce type of thing
He is a respectful professional to people whom he wishes he could just toss to the curb, and that is very honorable.
The biggest issue with Prime is that his expectations are probably higher than anyone can actually achieve and he cannot do everything.
He is loyal and demanding at the same time, but that scale has not gone far enough for him as of yet, so the coaching staff and players to date have not worked out.
The Coaching Game Management blunders and his answers are a battle between a supremely proud and talented former athlete saying that players solve problems and he just does not fully buy into the game trickery and maneuvers that can help in a game that does not involve the athlete. One of the hardest things for formerly great players to make a change from when they coach.
I think he is Accountable for the most part, probably 98% thus far
