Still thinking Helfrich needs to go.
This gives me warm and fuzzies, if only because I know you are not a reactionary knee jerk fan. If you are giving up on your coach after just one year, I trust all is not well in Eugene.
As far as the game itself, that was THE WORST prevent defense I have ever seen in my life. If you are just going to give them 18 yards a pop, on plays that take 6 seconds, what's the point? You are better off risking the quick strike. At least you'd get the ball back with some time left.
Also, the clock keeper's abuse of power at the end of the game should be a fire-able offense. I know, home cooking and all that, but seriously, he routinely ran 2-4 extra seconds after plays were clearly over almost every time. There was not a single play in that final drive that he didn't run at least 1 extra second off the clock. You expect that, but he took it too far, IMO. I was stunned that Riley never protested. Officials will usually give a few extra seconds if a coach speaks up.
