Duck Tape: Film Review of Week 5, 2023 at Stanford

Related Topics: Stanford University

Oregon’s offense had 47 meaningful snaps before garbage time, exactly as many as the previous week. As in previous games, the offense was fairly balanced though somewhat tilted towards passing, and there’s enough play data for run-pass splits, but aggregate statistics still probably capture the performance more robustly. Those are a 70.2% efficiency rate (33 successes vs 14 failures, given the down & distance), 8.9 adjusted YPP, and 23.4% explosiveness rate.

There’s no pattern I can find to the slow start of Oregon’s first two possessions, or any noticeable correction in playcalling, personnel, or execution that enabled the offense to perform differently in what would become a blowout win – that is, there were some mistakes made in those six plays, but the same sorts of mistakes also happened sporadically later in the game and in previous games.
