5 takeaways from No. 11 Oregon’s deflating 49-3 loss to No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs

Unfortunately, it appears that the Oregon Ducks may not be as good as we thought. That was proven over and over again Saturday afternoon as the defending national champions trounced Dan Lanning’s squad in Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

It resulted in a 49-3 loss that saw Oregon go without scoring a touchdown for the first time since 2017. There were a few positive moments — the Ducks’ offense was able to move the ball well in the first half — but they were overshadowed by an endless list of things that need to be cleaned up in a hurry.
