13-3 Vikes. Halftime. Very good score but again a tale of two quarters on offense with notable 3 and out syndrome in the 2nd. Go Vikes!

Kelly would flop in the NFL. Hard not to look good with superior talent.

Debatable how successful he will be in NFL. But Oregon is not a traditional power, very impressive college coach!

Or they can't execute. Probably both. Little disappointed we didn't see a bit more Wright. Lions probably made an adjustment. Or we went away from what was working.

This has nothing to do with Frazier........Musgrave and the players are the ones to blame. What da hell is Frazier gonna do? He's a defensive minded coach, and the defense is playing lights out
Whenever i step outside, somebody claims to see the light
It seems to me that all of us have lost our patience.

He'll get his shot real soon I think. It will be very interesting to see how his innovations translate to the NFL. Certainly can't be worse Bill "4x6 index card" Musgrave.

Talent aside, that gimmicky offense would never work in the NFL. Besides, defensively Oregon isn't even that talented.

He's blowing out teams convincingly.

I posted a great article about him here: http://vikingsmessageboard.com/viewtopi ... 12&t=25124

Suggested read. I'm excited to see him in the NFL. Could be a huge flop, sure. Could be highly, highly explosive.

This may have been discussed. Radio broadcast says QB coach Craig Johnson on sidelines instead of in the booth this week. They are trying some changes.

Prediction, first drive of 2nd half is imaginative and takes advantage of what the coaches learned in the first half.
