#2 Oregon 24 Vs Arizona 31

   Last night, Oregon got beat on all sides of the football. Their defense broke down, the offensive line cracked, and the crowd was quiet. Two weeks ago the Ducks narrowly escaped Washington State by a touchdown. Eventually, with the way they were playing, someone was going to beat them. That team was Arizona.  For a second straight year, the Ducks lost to Arizona while being in the top five. The bigger question is, what happened to the Ducks? They were a 23 point favorite, and they had all the play makers (and those snazzy pink uniforms). But somehow they just could not get it done. Arizona did a great job on defense and offense to stop Oregon.


   Can the Ducks bounce back from this painfully loss?  They most likely will not fall too far in the rankings. I think they will remain in the top 10. But it is still early in the season, and there is a lot of ball left to be played.  But when the Ducks face UCLA next week who, may I remind you, are ranked number eight, and then Washington and then #14 Stanford.  It is unlikely that the Ducks will remain a one loss team for much longer, with the offensive line and the defense, but all we have right now is hope. We will know the official rankings on Sunday, at which point I will post where we are and where our PAC-12 friends are with us.  Just keep this in mind if you are feeling a little melancholy this weekend.  It is possible.  We can still do it. (Make it to the playoffs). Right?
