Duck Tape: Film Review of Week 11, 2021 vs Washington State

Oregon used an efficient and explosive rushing attack to control the game - 28 successful designed rushes vs 13 successful ones, given the down & distance, or a 68.3% rushing success rate. Even though that’s a championship-caliber number in my experience, it’s actually down from the previous four weeks when they were rushing at a 75% rate (any two rushes flipping from failure to success would have gotten that number back up, for example eliminating the two fumbles after 16- and 10-yard runs).

The Ducks ran for 6.6 yards per carry on designed rushes outside of garbage time, and 22% went for 10+ yards, which are both excellent explosive rushing figures.
