It's been an up-and-down year for the surging Oregon Ducks, to say the least. Quarterback Vernon Adams was supposed to become Marcus Mariota 2.0 and keep Oregon in the Pac-12 drivers' seat -- but we all forgot about the defense. The Ducks' "D" gave up 42 points to Eastern Washington and 62 to Utah, and suddenly they fell off the map. But after a dominant win over Cal, it looks like Oregon is close to being back.
I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to ask Rusty Ryan, Addicted to Quack's Oregon insider, about the Ducks.
