I would submit that their substitute center was more of a problem than their substitute QB.

+1 on Brown as an announcer. He has quickly become on of my favorites. One thing I like about him is that he explains in simple terms what's happening with shifts in offense and defense alignments on the field. I get the idea that I'm actually learning things about the game listening to him. In this regard he reminds me of Bill Curry, who was a great announcer but a mediocre coach.

Did you see all of the fumbled and/or mishandled snaps? A few less of those and Oregon gets another TD and wins this game.

Quote from this article on the impact of the substitute center:

"Oregon’s starting center also went out with an injury in the first half and his replacement was guilty of 12 low snaps that came at Lockie’s shoe tops or bounced on the ground — in one instance nullifying a touchdown pass that was called back because Lockie had to touch a knee to the turf to corral the low snap before he threw the pass."

Yes, sir, I do. Everything else staying the same, if the regular center had played the whole game Oregon wins, IMHO.
