They lost to a team that is 5-6, likely 5-7. They’ve played 2 legitimate ranked teams and lost to both. their only “good” wins are against teams that, in retrospect, were wildly overrated at the time. They’re the definition of a mediocre team IMO. Not bad. Not good.

Who have the Ducks beat then?

It's rare for me lately, but I'll give the Beavers credit: after a difficult emotional loss last week...and losing a couple of key players to injuries...and the obvious distraction of Smith likely leaving...they came in and competed well. I just think they were outmatched in too many areas. And they were facing a QB at the apex of his game who might be performing better than any other QB

that said, go Ducks. And, they really need Jahlil Florence against Washington

Well, that’s the knock on us and why some people don’t think we will make the playoff in certain scenarios. Beating Washington would help. We also didn’t lose 3 times and didn’t lose to a team below .500.

it’s what happens when you’re in the strongest conference top to bottom in the country. You beat up on each other.
 
Great defensive game plan by Tosh/Lanning. They were willing to stack the box to stop the run and put their secondary in a sub-optimal position of having to defend OSU's small receivers 1:1 in space, with the thought that DJU wouldn't be able to consistently beat them.

Oregon was deeper, better, and more physical team tonight... and it wasn't by accident.

Credit to Lanning building towards an SEC type line on both sides of the ball and bringing a legit defense to what has typically been a good offense.

Agreed. I don't think people realize what a feat it is to build a deep front 7 and offensive line in the Pacific Northwest. Will serve them very well in the B1G.

Also, the constant pressure on DJ Ukelele helped a lot. He never had time to think. Was picking himself up off the ground all game.

Oregon’s defensive line dominated the best offensive line in the Pac 12

Last year the defense had lots of disappointing games. Lots of fans questioning Lanning on that side of the ball.

All it took was a year 2. He seemed to remedy that in a short period.
