If for no other reason, we can look back admirably to Oregon’s last game as a reminder of a simpler time. We’ve basked in the glow of blowout, non-competitive wins for the better part of seven years; as cringe-worthy as it sounds, winning was beginning to feel stale.
It was expected, every Saturday, that Oregon would show up, steamroll the first 30 minutes, then drift off for the second half, with a 25+ point win a mere formality.
No more. And, honestly…isn’t this a lot more fun?
After the mystifying, bleary-eyed win last Thursday in Tempe, Oregon, somehow, still has a pulse in this otherwise disappointing season.
