At one point Saturday afternoon, we were actually looking forward to writing up this report card. Oregon was up 31-10 in the third quarter and nearly every phase was playing well and on point.
Then the meltdown occurred and a nice day in Corvallis turned ugly quickly and the Ducks suffered a 38-34 loss that will be difficult to forget.
It would be easy to do a report card for the first half of the game and then a separate one for the collapse. But the report card is for the entire game as a whole and there are some good parts to what happened yesterday. We won’t ignore the 28-3 Oregon State run (quite literally) to end the game, but we won’t dwell on it either. The coaching decisions kind of speak for themselves, so we won’t dive into every questionable call made on the sideline.
Here’s the final report card for the 2022 regular season.
