Oregon fans made complaints several times about how TV and 'the Refs' slow down their offense at times, but what about how they help their defense?

One huge risk you run with a fast paced offense is not allowing your defense to get a break, but their defense gets two breaks even if they three and out on offense. TV break before their offense gets the ball, and even if their offense is on the field for 30 seconds, they get another TV break before their defense would seemingly have to come right back on the field...

So a timeout only gives one team a break?

If we had to play Oregon in the middle of the year, I would be worried about this strategy, but given that we've prepped for this all summer and all camp, I'm confident we'll be able to handle the pacing.

Oregon just isn't used to being on TV for real games yet. Give them a couple years and they'll get used to it.
