USC-Oregon edge: Coaching

October 3rd, 2008, 7:45 am · Post a Comment · posted by Michael Lev, staff writer

Pete Carroll and his staff failed to get their team ready to play against Oregon State, but their bounce-back record is impeccable (no back-to-back losses since ’01). Offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian needs to rediscover the play-calling rhythm he had in the first two games. Mike Bellotti is his 14th season at Oregon and has great continuity on his staff. They deserve major kudos for keeping Oregon’s offense humming despite multiple injuries at quarterback.
