Oregon offense grounded in loss to Huskies By STEVE MIMS The Register-Guard SEATTLE — Oregon’s offense has no surprises without Justin Herbert. For the fourth week in a row, the Ducks threw for less than 75 yards and ran on nearly three-fourths of their plays during a 38-3 loss to Washington on Saturday night at Husky Stadium. “Obviously, every team knows we are going to run the ball,” Oregon center Jake Hanson said. “That doesn’t matter because we’ve shown we can run the football and still win games.” That was the case last week when Oregon ran for 347 yards in a 41-20 win over Utah, but that is the only win in ﬁ ve games since freshman Braxton Burmeister replaced the injured Herbert at quar- terback. Oregon had 247 of its 278 yards against the Huskies on the ground while running on 55 of 68 offensive plays. “Even if they know it is coming, we still have to be able to run it,” Oregon running back Royce AP Photo/Ted S. Warren Oregon quarterback Braxton Burmeister is tackled by Washington linebackers Connor O’Brien, right, and Brandon Wellington, upper center, as linebacker Ben Burr-Kirven, left, looks on, in the ﬁ rst half of Satur- day’s game in Seattle. Freeman said. “We want the identity of this offense to be the offensive line being stout because we have some dudes up there. They know the defense is keying on the run, but they are still going out there and doing their job.” Freeman ran 24 times for 122 yards, his fourth straight game with at least 120 yards on the ground. “Royce is a monster,” UO tight end Jacob Breeland said. “He’s always amazing everyone. He’s an animal running people over and doing all he can. He keeps killing it.” Burmeister has thrown for a total of 207 yards during the past four weeks. “We can run the ball better if we can throw it better,” Oregon coach Willie Taggart said. “It was good to see our guys can run the football when everyone knows we are going to run was huge.” Oregon did not have another drive that covered more than 20 yards until the fourth quarter. “What we were doing early wasn’t working in the second and third quarters,” Hanson said. “We have got to ﬁ nd a way to take those rushing yards and translate them into points. You can run the ball all day, but if you can’t put points on the board, it is all for nothing.” Burmeister completed all four of his passes for 23 yards in the ﬁ rst quarter before going 3-for-9 for eight yards in the ﬁ nal three quarters. “We run the ball, we are gashing them so we keep running it, and then when we do pass the ball, we have to execute better,” Breeland said. Herbert was in uniform for the second week in a row, but Taggart said he did not consider playing him ﬁ ve weeks after he fractured his collarbone. The coach said he is hopeful the sophomore may be back against Arizona on Nov. 18 following a bye. it.” Oregon’s longest play from scrimmage was a 19-yard run by Freeman. The longest pass was a nine-yard completion to Breeland. “Last week, what allowed us to score points was explo- sive plays,” Hanson said. “This week, we did not get many explosive plays in the running game. We were able to run the ball effectively for the most part, but when you are so one-dimensional running the ball, you have to get big plays to spark touch- downs, and we were not able to do that.” Oregon opened the game with a 15-play drive that went 62 yards and used up more than half of the ﬁ rst quarter before Aidan Schneider kicked a ﬁ eld goal that turned out to be the only points for the Ducks. The second drive went 54 yards to the Washington 19-yard line before Kani Benoit fumbled and Washington recovered. “That was a momentum change when we fumbled the ball on that second drive,” Taggart said. “That Beavers, Hall stay positive in face of defeat By KEVIN HAMPTON Albany Democrat-Herald BERKELEY, Calif. — Going winless would be tough for most football coaches. On Saturday at California, Oregon State’s Cory Hall dropped his third game since taking on the interim role for the Beavers after taking over for Gary Andersen. Yet Hall keeps his energy and that of the players’ as high as possible. In the postgame media room, Hall is straightforward with his answers but stays on a positive track. He does not get noticeable angry or glum. Some coaches would have a hard time with down-to-the-wire losses to Colorado and Stanford and a competitive road loss at Cal. There’s no doubt Hall is not happy with losing, but he chooses to look at the accomplishments of the team. “Tough loss on the road,” Hall said after the Cal game. “Again I sit here and say, the boys battled. What does that AP Photo/Ben Margot Oregon State’s Ryan Nall, left, celebrates after scor- ing a touchdown against California during the ﬁ rst quarter of Saturday’s game in Berkeley, Calif. mean? I don’t think you have seen yet this season this team quit and I don’t think you will see that.” His postgame speech after the Colorado loss was a sensation on YouTube and his attitude has not wavered following the last two games. “I love coach Hall to death and playing for him is absolutely fantastic,” quarterback Darell Garreton said. “And just the way we are as a team right now and how we interact with each Cal was able to run the ball effectively and that set up the pass. The end result was a balanced 216 yards rushing and 259 passing that enabled the Bears to put up 37 points. Whetzel said Cal runs a lot of run-pass option, which crossed up the Beavers, who had a lot of success slowing Stanford’s run game. “So that was kind of freezing us up in the line- backer area and the safety area,” Whetzel said. “But as for Stanford, we were able to come downhill fast as soon as we saw it and that’s what made us stop Stanford so good.” Oregon State’s play has improved. It could be the shot of adrenaline brought on by the shock of losing Andersen combined with the arrival of a “new” coach. The Beavers are going into their fourth game since that situation, so there seems to be a distinct change brought on by Hall. The next step is to ﬁ nd a way to win. Oregon State is at Arizona this Saturday night. other, the way that we all believe in each other and the energy that we have, it’s a good feel.” It’s no real surprise that some of the players started a petition to keep Hall as their coach after this season. Tight end Noah Togiai said there’s some pressure to play successfully for Hall. “Yeah, obviously not too many people want another change,” Togiai said. “Especially coming from coach A to coach Hall in the ﬁ rst place. But everybody’s gotten comfortable with coach being at the head and we don’t want another change. We’re going to try to win and give him at least a slight chance of maybe getting the head job.” Said linebacker Kee Whetzel: “I think that we really want him to be our coach, but I don’t think that’s what we’re worried about when we’re out there playing football. That’s not what we’re worried about just winning the game.” The Beavers could not stop the Bears when they needed to and it was costly.
