Sometimes coaching really shows itself in a win.
The Oregon Ducks didn’t look like themselves early in this game, punting on their first two offensive possessions and running three offensive plays in the first quarter. After that quarter, though, they adjusted and outgained Stanford 500-120 in the yardage department.
