We all know Oregon doesn't talk about injuries, but Vernon Adams clearly wasn't himself on Saturday night during Oregon's 31-28 loss to Michigan State on the road. As it turns out, Adams was playing with a broken index finger, according to Aaron Fentress of Comcast Sportsnet Northwest.
Against the fifth-ranked Spartans, Adams looked uncomfortable in the pocket all night long. His decision making wasn't crisp and he struggled to make accurate passes all night. As a result, Adams threw two interceptions and had a QBR of just 39.5. If Adams had been healthy, would he have completed that late pass attempt to Byron Marshall that instead sailed over his head into the end zone?
