Finally this is becoming the Oregon offense. We took things from a bunch of teams, but we're finally making it our own.

But I do think overall they are probably more creative in finding ways to win and supporting each other -- offense, defense and special teams. It's a balanced football team because we can look a lot of places for people who will win this game.

I think the great thing about our offense is that ... we have a bunch of guys that are capable of making plays. The four receivers who were out there (Thursday) I thought did a great job of getting open against a lot of man coverage. I thought the tight ends did a nice job. ... Corey caught a few passes, Kevin caught some passes and spread the ball around. It puts a lot of pressure on a defense.

I'm leaving it up for public debate.

Whether we're back, it's way too early to tell. It's halfway through the season. I don't buy that yet.

Jonathan is the real deal. A couple of times, he has made some runs that has brought the entire team to its feet. I expect him to contribute immensely.
