The Ducks will look to rebound this Saturday against the Nevada Wolf Pack, who are coming off of a game-winning field goal against the Purdue Boilermakers, while the Tigers get ready to play back-to-back tune-up games against Tulane and then Kent State.
As week one’s only ranked vs ranked match-up, Oregon received more national coverage than usual this past weekend, which is still overall a good thing. The second half meltdown certainly doesn’t help Oregon or the PAC-12’s image, but depending on how these once great powers finish the season, it’s still possible Duck fans look back at this as a character-building loss.
