You are also failing to consider that on that particular night there were a number of times where Darron Thomas made poor reads in the option game - specifically during plays using the new formation(s.)
Poor reads? That’s being nice. Thomas (and I’m a huge Thomas fan all the way back to his recruitment) was abysmal in that game. The worst I’ve ever seen him. If he plays even an above average game yal win. If he plays like he did against USC, yal win by 10+. Kelly’s wrinkles with the fullhouse and two-back sets were genius and had gaping holes that Thomas just shat the bed on.
I could go on for hours and breakdown all of Thomas’ misreads but it would take forever.

Seems like partway through the season, Thomas quit looking to run the ball and became very conservative about it.
The Oregon boards thought that the backup situation might have something to do with it, that they were trying to keep Thomas healthy.
But he sure didn't seem very aggressive about looking to keep the ball the last few games of the season.

Fair enough... I think he was rattled by the penetration Fairley was getting early on. (But I would also argue that he displayed the nerves of a first-time starter in the biggest game of his life on the first possession when he made the terrible move of pitching to LMJ late.)
