ouch

It's official. OSU is done for the year. It was a pretty disappointing end to the season, especially when we look back to our win over Cal, which put us at 4-2, with a very realistic shot at 7-4 or even 8-3. Our stumbles down the stretch were painful to watch, but they did give us some hope for next year. It's nice to see that we've found a solid running game. Obviously, the passing game will take a hit without Mike Hass next year, but maybe without him to grab everything, Matt Moore (if he's still the starter) will finally spread the ball around a bit more. Our defense clearly needs the most work, but I'm confident that our young secondary will be much better next year. They got some much-needed experience, and hopefully the coaching staff will realize that we might have to adjust our schemes a little bit to compensate for the athletes that we have. The Civil War was a tough way to go out, but hopefully the team will be motivated for the off-season.

Now that our season is over, let's just hope that the Ducks can squeeze their way into the Fiesta Bowl and do the state proud.
