Oregon Proves They Are For Real
Before the college football season started many people looked at the Oregon Ducks as one of the top teams in the country. Then came their season opening loss at Boise State. In a nationally televised game, the Oregon Ducks were dominated by Boise State and then lost their top running back to suspension for punching a Boise State player after the game. Since that loss, Oregon has gained momentum again by dominating every opponent they have faced. Many people would have told you that coming into tonight's game against USC, they were playing better than anyone in the country. Watching them go up and down the field against USC, it would be hard to argue with that idea. They took it to a USC defense that came into the game as the Pac 10's number 1 rush defense and pass rush. Oregon has officially announced that they are a force to be reckoned with. A win over perennial power USC will make everyone pay attention. With Texas' victory over Oklahoma State, Oregon is likely headed to the Rose Bowl on New Years Day. USC will now likely be looking at a non BCS bowl game for the first time in 7 seasons.

Ducks, Ducks, Ducks, Ducks!!!!!! The Oregon Ducks completely embarrassed the USC Trojans. Oregon ran the ball all over the 5th best defense in the country. What was more surprising was how bad Pete Carol was out coach. The Ducks still have to travel to Sanford and still have the Civil War to play. All in all a great win for the Ducks. USC had this loss coming, they had two games where they squeaked out a victory. They should have lost both game.
ReplyDeleteThe way the Ducks have been playing, they should beat the remaining teams on their schedule. The key word is should. One thing to remember is that we are talking about 18-22 year old kids, so you never know what is going to happen.
