4. Oregon’s quarterback situation is a problem
The quarterback shuffling never let either of the quarterbacks find any sort of a groove.
Tyler Shough completed 7-of-9 passes for 79 yards with an interception, but Anthony Brown played more, added more rushing to the mis with 36 yards and two touchdowns, and he got the offense moving a bit …
And the Ducks failed to score in the second half.

This was going to be a rebuilding year in some ways after losing an NFL franchise talent in Justin Herbert, and Oregon did get 226 passing yards and over eight yards per pass in this, but this offense is supposed to be a whole lot flashier and a whole lot stronger than this.
The Ducks needed their quarterbacks to shine, and more specially, they needed Shough to be fantastic. Now it’s going to be one of the bigger storylines throughout the offseason.
