In his first year without the best quarterback in college football, Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich has lost two games in four tries, the worst of which came Saturday in a humiliating 62-20 home loss to Utah.
It's the first time since 2004 Oregon has lost two games before October, and although myriad factors have contributed to those struggles and there is more than enough blame to go around, Helfrich is the one who bears the brunt of it.
"When you played like we played, it's on me," Helfrich said Saturday, per Anne M. Peterson of the Associated Press.
