It’s a happy report card for the Oregon Ducks football team after the 55-10 victory over Hawaii. Every position group played well for the most part, but the Ducks still have a problem with flags.
After 14 penalties a week ago, anything less could be considered an improvement, but Oregon was flagged nine times, which is still far too many. A few of those penalties extended the two scoring drives Hawaii managed. This game could have easily been a shutout performance, but silly unnecessary penalties allowed the Rainbow Warriors 10 points.
In the big scheme of things, the penalties didn’t hurt, but against Pac-12 competition, they will hurt and could cost the Ducks a victory.
