Winter comes early to Duck title hopes as Cougs roar in Autzen in double OT

There’s an old blues song that starts out, “I’ve got a cold, cold feeling–It’s just like ice around my heart.”

Every fan knows that eras end, but it’s nearly always crushing and sad when they do.

Sophomore quarterback Luke Falk threw for 505 yards and five touchdowns to lead Washington State to a 45-38 double overtime victory over Oregon in Autzen Stadium Saturday night. It marked the first time the Ducks had lost three games in a season since 2009, and the first time they’d lost to a Northwest school since 2007.

At the tailgate people will ask what’s wrong with the Ducks, and the answers are various, some full of blame and invective.
