Oregon football LT Josh Conerly takes ownership of false start penalties
Penalties can halt offenses in their tracks and Oregon experienced that more than once while still managing to win at Texas Tech.
The Ducks committed 14 penalties in the 38-30 win in Lubbock, including eight on offense. Four of those were for false starts, three by left tackle Josh Conerly Jr. and one by center Jackson Powers-Johnson. Three of those four false starts occurred on drives that ended with Oregon punting.
“First thing we put up in front of our players (Monday) is a penalty and then acknowledging how that drive finished when we had a penalty within that drive,” Oregon coach Dan Lanning said. “Really recognizing if we eliminate some really careless errors and figure out ways to drill those things in practice it’s going to make us a completely different team.”
