Oregon’s offense turned in its best game of the season vs. Colorado, but the defense had a rare off day. Here are our full grades for the matchup.

SECONDARY

Grade: C-

We all know the Oregon secondary is better than this, but we have to be honest with these grades. It was the worst game of the season for the secondary, which is shocking considering how bad the Colorado offense was coming into this game.

Colorado quarterback Brendon Lewis was 25-of-33 for 224 yards and three touchdowns making it easily his best game of the year. He also avoided throwing an interception.

Again, the Ducks are better than this and hopefully, it was just an off day and they’ll return to normal this Saturday as the Ducks will face another woeful offense in Washington.
