The fact that Hunter not only played but played both ways is incredible.
Might not have been a good idea for him to play both ways. He was the primary defender on Ayomanor who had 13 rec for 294 yds and 3 tds. He also had a crucial penalty that gave Stanford a first down on a 3rd and 22 which Stanford converted into another touchdown.
When put into perspective not sure how many guys could come back and play both ways after a lacerated kidney a few weeks prior. You want to say he came back too early perhaps but he still was able to put up big numbers. Just unreal.
Not saying he came back early at all. Most coaches would try to protect their player and have their best interest in mind by limiting the player to one side of the ball. Saying let him shine on one side of the ball then let him ease back into playing both sides of the ball.
Lanning is a good coach. I understand he goes aggressive but that last 4th down was dumb. There’s a difference between being smart aggressive and clown aggressive just to make a point. He did the latter and it cost Oregon. Dubs win!
