The Oregon Ducks have proved themselves as one of the best teams in the nation. The College Football Playoff rankings that came out on Tuesday night cemented Oregon’s place at No. 6, where they rank across all major polls. The Ducks have one of the best offenses in the nation, led by one of the best quarterbacks in the nation, coached by one of the best offensive coordinators in the nation.
Everything is turning up Duck, as of late.
There’s still much to improve on when it comes to the defense, though.
While Oregon’s defensive stats have been dragged down by some garbage time points and yards from opponents, it’s clear the secondary needs work, and the pass rush can get a lot better. Ahead of this weekend’s game against the Washington Huskies, who have the No. 1 ranked passing offense in the nation, it will be imperative for the Ducks to improve quickly.
At the moment, here’s where they stand in some key statistics nationally.
