His Ducks just beat #2 Ohio State on the road while missing 5 starters on defense, including his best 2.
Also, Fresno State consistently has a strong football program. They are not nearly as talented as Oregon, but always have good coaching, which goes a long way. Also agree that they might have been looking ahead to the game with Taint. Happens to almost every team at one time or another.
Danny Miaz doesn’t get that pass because his teams come out flat more often than not, specially after a bye week, and definitely in big games.
Mario is not my first choice to be the next coach at the U, but he is eons better than Manolo.
