Maybe UCLA has a quarterback controversy but clearly we don't.

Yeesh when you put it that way, really frames today as a Pyrrhic victory if Nico’s out long term. And I can’t believe im saying that given his level of play.

Dieffenbach missed some throws but he didn’t do anything stupid. Oregon’s defensive line played great today as well. I think even with mid QB play we’re still okay.

You’re right, he was a steady presence and apart from rushing one 3rd down throw I had no qualms. Just not sure he can be a long term answer if we want to win out like we really should at this point. But crow is my favorite meal so we’ll see if it comes to that.

Nico isn't the long term answer if we want to win out either though.

Agreed. He's too inconsistent. Against Purdue he was making some insane NFL level throws, and then he comes out and plays like he did today.
