PASADENA -- Royce Freeman left the Rose Bowl on Saturday wearing a sleeveless sweatshirt, hood pulled over his head. His right elbow was wrapped in a clear plastic compression wrap. He'd just become the University of Oregon's all-time leading rusher, and here was Freeman with a backpack with two words stitched on it slung over his shoulder.
Those words: "Mighty Oregon."
It's a lie right now.
The Ducks are not mighty. They're sitting. As a result, they got beat for the third straight time in Pac 12 play by double digits -- this one 31-14 to UCLA.
