Observations on the first half with Oregon, 7-21

Michigan created no red zone opportunities; Oregon gained 7 points in two red zone trips. Neither team had any turnovers.

Offense put up 142 total yards with 108 on the ground with 5 first downs; they were zero for five in 3rd down conversion, and only held the ball for 10:54 of the 30 minutes so Oregon ran 16 more offensive plays. Tommy Carr was one of five for 8 yards; and ran once for another 8 yards. Bryce Underwood hit 2 of 6 passes for 26 yards, and ran once for 5 yards. Savion Hiter ran 6 times for 70 yards including a 70 yard TD; he also recovered two fumbles. Jordan Marshall ran 3 times for 15 yards. Bryson Kuzdzal ran once for 5 yards. Andrew Marsh caught 3 passes for 34 yards. J.J. Buchanan left the game with injury, and won't return. Na'eem Offord, Dylan Williams, and Peyton Woodyard led Oregon with 3 tackoes each.

Defense allowed Oregon two quick touchdowns: one to start the game, and the second just before half. The Ducks aired it out for 261 yards, and had 326 yards in total offense with 13 first downs; they were 5 of 11 in 3rd and 4th down conversions. Dominic Raiola hit 14 of 20 passes for 261 yards and 3 TDs. Dakorien Moore caught 6 passes for 88 yards including a 59 yard TD. Jeremiah McClellan caught 3 passes for 100 yards including a 60 yard TD to open the scoring. Jyaire Hill can't cover, and he looks like a Freshman out there. Jamari Johnson caught 2 passes for 29 yards. Evan Stewart caught a 38 yarder. Dierre Hill ran 12 times for 43 yards. Da'Juan Riggs snagged a 2 yard TD pass to cap the Duck scoring. Zeke Berry led the Michigan defense with 6 tackles. No sacks on Raiola, and few hurries.

Special Teams was led by Cam Brown's 5 punts with 3 downed inside the 20. Oregon punted 3 times with one downed inside the 20. The Ducks had a 38 yard kickoff return by Hill.

Second Half will be a blowout! I thought Oregon would win 37-7, and it looks like that will be close to the final result. Michigan has no offense, and a defensive backfield that can't cover worth crap.
