I really hope a P12 coach with that sort of experience isn't sandbagging on the road, tied for first in the division, with the teams they are tied with up next.  I do think they collectively underestimated their opponent and were really unprepared to boot.  No amount of game adjustments can make up for a poor week of preparation, admitting I have no idea how well they prepared.

Vanilla schemes should have worked just fine against such an over-matched opponent. That they didn't is more worrisome to me than any schematic issues.

This is a bizarre season.  Very uneven performances.  You have ASU and Utah, but SDSU and OSU.  So is this team younger than we thought?  Defense isn't as stout as last few years; QB performance shaky; no one behind Love really.  What's the deal?  This defense against the ND run game?  Yikes....

Fleming told Husak before the game he essentially expected a curb stomping. You could hear the surprise in his and Huard's voices as things developed.
