Eugene- Hard to believe only two weeks ago Oregon football sat in a position to potentially run right to the conference championship game. After a thrilling win against Washington that almost seemed a couple years premature in the developmental process of this team the Ducks needed only a Stanford stumble along the way (one that actually just happened this weekend, in fact) and they’d be in the driver’s seat for the North title.
Now granted, this is still a team undergoing retooling with a new regime, so the slip-up that occurred the following week was not completely head-scratching.
