This one is going to sting for a while.
It would be one thing if Washington had outplayed the Ducks and won the game, but Oregon played better in nearly every phase of the game and still lost 36-33.
Head coach Dan Lanning didn’t do himself any favors with some of his in-game decisions, which cost the Ducks the game. The two fourth-down plays and the decision to go for it at midfield with two minutes left will be dissected for probably as long as Lanning is at Oregon.
But winning cures everything and Oregon still has a great shot at winning a Pac-12 title. Most likely, the Ducks will have to go through the Huskies and wouldn’t revenge be sweet if these two teams met in Vegas for Round 2?
Here’s a mixed bag of a report card from the bitter loss in Seattle.
