What can be said. We looked at the Ohio State game last week and murmered “Okay, that team is beatable”. Then a very close Duck Fresno State game at Autzen where murmers became fans scratching their heads in bewildered angst. Is Fresno State THAT GOOD? Did the injury to Thibideaux drag the defense down that much? Were we holding back not to show our cards next week? Is our pass defense that inept to be susceptible to crossing patterns? I believe it was a combination of all of the above.
both teams, Ohio State and Oregon are beatable on any given Saturday. The best team out of the gate and best third quarter will win. So far, our third quarter has sucked BUT we have only one game to rate our response to third quarters. It has not become a THING yet. Thibideaux back, I reiterate, DAMN, we need him. he is a game changer. The fact we have an away game, since being covid robbed from the home game, might be the telling tale of the contest but I think Fresno is really good and our defensive pressure wasn’t all the way there.
i believe the Ducks win in a squeaker and pull this out by one ahainst ALL other predictions
So put that in your pipe!
