re: Biggest factors for 2011 success (other than playmaking)

It seems to me that there is a purpose and focus to this team that is far superior to any of the previous Les coached teams. Sometime in the 2nd half of the Oregon game, it occurred to me that we hadn't seen any of the brain farts that seem to pop up in practically every game the last few years. Not the clock management stuff, but things like not getting plays or defensive sets in on time, confusion in personnel groupings, and similar issues that result in penalties or use of timeouts. I don't think this is just getting rid of Crowton, but something about how the playcalling and decision making is being handled among the staff.
