Oregon coach after debacle at UCLA.

Quite a presser.  Thank god we are not in that situation.  Graves is clearly beside himself and it does not appear as if he knows what to do for his team.  But I think they will become a monster as they mature.  I think they need to graduate some of the hired guns and give the young talent time to jell and develop.  Then watch out!

I also think UCLA can be extraordinary now that they are developing more than the two Os.  As we found in our second game with them it is getting harder to defend them as the talent around Osborne and Onyenwere develops.   We could control those two well enough to win, but when they get scoring from third and fourth players as they have more recently then it becomes a series of 1 on 1 match ups and we don't always win those. 

What I want to know is whether senior stars like Onyenwere or our own Williams will come back for a fifth year or take an immediate shot at the pros.  The Pac 12 championship next year might hinge on that.
