There was a subsection of Oregon Duck fans who were not looking forward to the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl matchup against the Liberty Flames. Understandably, after barely missing on a spot in the College Football Playoff, it was relatively difficult to get up for a matchup against the Liberty Flames in a New Year’s Six bowl.
I think most Duck fans are feeling pretty satisfied right about now, though.
Dan Lanning and his team leave Arizona with a 45-6 win over the Flames, and a 12-2 season that will be remembered fondly in Eugene. Bo Nix leaves his final collegiate game as the record holder for the best single-season completion percentage in college football history. The Ducks head into the future with a great deal of momentum, and the program’s prospects look bright.
After the Ducks spotted Liberty the first six points of the game on the opening drive, Oregon scored 45 consecutive points and blow the previously undefeated Flames out of the water. The game featured stellar B play, elite receiver play and a defensive performances that should not be overlooked.
There is much to note from this game. Here are some of our biggest takeaways from the day:
