ban?
According to coach:
Sefo practiced some yesterday and more today. Moving around better still. "Liked his tape job better today". Sefo avoided the high ankle sprain, but has a pretty good sprain (likely grade II). Feeling encouraged that he will play, but still game time decision. Every day he has made progress but you never know how things will go over night. "Pretty dadgum tough."

He's playing.
Said Montez has been getting almost all of the 1st team snaps so I think we will be prepared either way. I agree though. Sefo starts this game.

They might start Montez first and see how he does, then put Sefo in if/when he struggles (likely).

I appreciate you gent's opinion but you could splice tape from the last 100 broadcasts together and it would look like it was done on one Saturday, Hell I would rather watch Boo Hoo Lou then Corso the hack
Our best case scenario, obviously, is that it works out so that Sefo is healthy enough to perform well while Montez got the experience of what it's like to prepare as a starter. Best chance to win and should help Montez's development.

No high ankle sprain + no issues on MRI + only moderate limp walking off the field on Sat = Sefo starts and is at least 80-90%
As NC said, I wouldn't mind Montez starting actually. Give him a relatively short leash, based on the performance of the offense and see what happens. If the offense is ineffective after a couple of drives, put in Sefo. If it works leave him in let Sefo rest.
Having Sefo healthy enough to play puts us in a very very good spot this week.
Also be very helpful to Montez to get some real game time with a game plan designed for what he knows and does. Let him be more comfortable with what he is asked to do.
I like this plan except if Sefo has to leave the game due to nagging sprain, then what? Go back to a struggling Montez or plan G

If he somehow leads this team to a Pac-12 South Title then he definitely will.
Yeah, you have to go with Sefo to start. The other way around is a confidence nightmare.
Montez is getting 1st team reps, he's going to prepare as the starter, and if it works out that Sefo can't go, he will start. That's a lot of experience in and of itself, and hopefully that will help in the offense's familiarity/confidence in him. But if you can go with Sefo, you do it.

I don't think he can enter that pantheon without a single winning season or bowl game. If this year turns out to be as successful as we hope it can be, then absolutely he will.

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. If Sefo's healthy enough to play, you start him. Why take the chance of Montez struggling and putting us in a hole early? Especially if Oregon is playing well. We could be looking at a 14-0 deficit before Sefo even takes the field. It's like bringing in your closer with two guys on base and no outs in the 9th. Just let him start the inning.
My plan is based on having faith in our defense to slow UO down. Counting on them to keep UO from scoring that quickly so we have time to see what we have.
Either way the discussion is moot. If Sefo can go, no way he doesn't start.
If Sefo can go, of course he should go. It would be crazy not to start him.
I don't even know why that's a debate.
It's the same at every position. If Tupou sprained his ankle, he'd start the next week if he could. Then, if he struggled on it the defense would have the backup plan prepared. This is just normal, whether we are talking about QB or any other spot.

Exactly, Lee and Vitale are about the only thins I like about ESPN.
My gut says start him but I have a question for those of you that know a lot more about this than me. what is the impact of him sitting out/getting limited reps this week?
I would assume it means that anything new that the OC's install he will have limited experience with and is less likely to use in the game. Montez would likely have the edge on any pieces they added for Oregon unless of course you assume that Sefo is so far ahead of Motez skills and "head for the game" wise that Sefo can get it down pat by reading it and Montez can't get it with repetition.
Additionally, does Montez have any wheels at all? Do we really feel that limited Sefo is more mobile than fully healthy Montez?
Again, not arguing one way or the other. Personally the only way I wouldn't start Sefo is if he told me he couldn't go. If that man says he can play I'd hand him the ball and get the door for him.

What's your question?

Great comparison.
Sefo has played UO 3 times already. I am sure he knows what they are going to be doing. As far as new stuff our offense is installing, Sefo has been in meetings and at practices watching and learning and practicing to some small degree.
Montez is faster than Sefo which would make him naturally more mobile, however Montez does not fully understand the read option yet so that advantage is negated.
Doubt they are installing anything "new" anyways.
What they will be installing is stuff that was done in fall camp that hasn't been used in earlier games or things that have been used with specific adjustments for Oregon. Sefo will be at least familiar with everything they are doing and as a 3 yr starter the adjustments won't be hard for him to get.
