How Oregon rebounds after last week's devastating loss to Stanford is largely something the Ducks have control over, but there were several other factors in play this week that present the possibility of Saturday's trip to Cal being a trap game.
Classes began this week at Oregon, which is making its first road trip of the season and then has a bye week when it returns from Berkeley. The Ducks moved practice up 30 minutes this week to accommodate player class schedules and while the coaching staff is cognizant of the other factors that could impact players this week.
