If only oregon had 6 turnovers instead of 7 they probably win it lmao

[u/TylerDurden-4126 → u/PositiveFriendlyGuy]

If only Oregon kicked the extra point after first td instead of being greedy they wouldn't have needed to go for 2 later...

[u/CapeClipper → u/TylerDurden-4126]

Oregon has been so arrogant for so long going for 2 after their first score. I’m glad it finally hurts them.

[u/Sea_Conference5661 → u/CapeClipper]

There was a game against Nebraska maybe a decade ago where if Oregon had just taken 7 each time they would have won. But they kept going for 2 like idiots and it ended up like 34-32 for the Huskers

[u/Mammoth_Impress_3108 → u/Sea_Conference5661]

That was ten years ago. Fun fact: that was our last ranked win.

[u/Montigue → u/CapeClipper]

This definitely isn't the first time

[u/BIRDSBEEZ → u/CapeClipper]

Wondering if this will finally be the game to humble Lanning. But i know it wont

[u/PrincessMinecat → u/BIRDSBEEZ]

If 2023 vs UW or 2023 vs UW didn’t humble him I fear nothing will :/

[u/BIRDSBEEZ → u/PrincessMinecat]

Dude single handedly lost those games for us. 

[u/Springtucky → u/CapeClipper]

Oh we've lost multiple games over the years failing a 2pt conversion I've lost hope in anything changing

Oregon has been so arrogant for so long going for 2 after their first score. I’m glad it finally hurts them.

Me too!

[u/Proud_Tangerine_9149 → u/CapeClipper]

This statement warms my heart

[u/serendipity_aey → u/TylerDurden-4126]

I’m gonna stupidly look on the bright side and admit an overtime would have killed me

[u/Chester-A-Asskicker → u/TylerDurden-4126]

I hate that he did that. And he does it semi often right? I get it's analytics but feels like bad value

[u/assault_pig → u/Chester-A-Asskicker]

I'm pretty sure it's a read by the kicking unit; they line up in that weird formation and if they see a numbers advantage they run a sweep/swing pass

obviously didn't work this time

[u/shooter9260 → u/TylerDurden-4126]

I’m kind of tight about it backfiring but I am ok with it. It’s such a hindsight thing which is always 20/20. I know it looks like it ended our chances but ultimately when we had — at 11:00 to go in the 4th — 5 first downs and 6 turnovers, we didn’t deserve it and the failed 2 pt isn’t that big in my eyes

[u/itlynstalyn → u/TylerDurden-4126]

I’m so curious as to what dumbass analytics they’re getting that tells coaches to do this. Dallas did it the other night and lost as well.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/PositiveFriendlyGuy]

Don't forget 2 turnovers on downs. 9 total turnovers

[u/PositiveFriendlyGuy → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

8*

6 turnovers and two on downs

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/PositiveFriendlyGuy]

ESPN has 7 turnovers

[u/Duougle → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

7th was on the lateral play to end the game. UCLA recovered the fumble.

Probably needed 5 to win.

[u/phreddfatt → u/PositiveFriendlyGuy]

Definitely hilarious (and probably true) but there were a lot of "what ifs" that also could've made this a runaway game for UCLA. missed field goal, turnovers on Oregon's side of the field, turnover on downs in the endzone.

[u/Metobrolol → u/PositiveFriendlyGuy]

Damn that’s a lot. Does UCLA lead the country now in turnover margin?
