Oregon lost at UCLA 31-14. Oregon State had a bye and is preparing for a big-stage Thursday night game vs. Stanford.
Going A-Z on it all...
A) Royce Freeman deserves better from Oregon. I wrote that in my column off the Ducks loss to UCLA. Marcus Mariota came back and won a Heisman. LaMichael James won a Rose Bowl and the Doak Walker award. Joey Harrington got a Fiesta Bowl. What will Freeman's senior season be best known for? It has to be more than... this. After Saturday's game, several of the Bruins defensive players lined up to hug Freeman in a show of respect.
