There’s the fact that he pissed away two time outs, and with a lead went for it on fourth and one from midfield with a backup QB, when he could have pinned Auburn deep. With about five minutes left, Oregon was snapping the ball with ten seconds left.

Yeah, Outsider Fan, this is some of what I was referring to (particularly the 4th and 1 fiasco that blew two timeouts and still didn't yield a conversion and gave Auburn the ball near midfield).
I would add to this summary the decision to start a true freshman at PK over a solid upperclassman option, and the freshman promptly misses a chip-shot, leading
Cristobal to turn back to the junior who should have been starting all along.
