Sounds about right. Aliotti clearly didn't take OSU's offense seriously, because OSU kept walking all over Oregon's defense while he killed the Ducks with his schemes. Plays like the forced fumble on Moevao are the only reasons Aliotti still has a job. It's f**king embarrassing.
I'm now even more pissed about that UO grad ref thing. Can you imagine if Florida found out a Tennessee grad was reffing a UT/UF game in Knoxville? They'd be seeking to strike it faster than you can say "Phil Fulmer is morbidly obese."
