Oregon Ducks

Oregon Ducks:The No. one Oregon Ducks overwhelmed the UCLA Bruins scoring on 9 of 12 chances en route to a 60-13 rout at Autzen Stadium on Thursday night. Darron Thomas of Oregon threw for a career-high 308 yards and three touchdowns while LaMichael James, Heisman hopeful as properly as the nation's major rusher, ran for 123 yards and two touchdowns.
With the win, the Ducks avoided becoming the 3rd straight No. one team to shed in consecutive weeks. The last time the No. one team in the related Press top 25 lost in three consecutive days was November 1960, when Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri all fell.
Is UCLA Committed to the Pistol Offense? Oregon jumped out to a 15-0 direct when UCLA eventually showed some signs of existence as they entered the red-colored zone early in the next quarter. on a 3rd and one on the Oregon 7-yard line, UCLA lined up in the Pistol and, without a threat of the pass and with lining up 5-yards off the collection of scrimmage, had been blitzed through the Oregon defense and had been unable to retain the drive alive. They short-yardage failure is indicative in the inconsistencies in the Bruins offense as properly as the total insufficient creativity. at the end in the fixture the Bruins had been moving the ball like a pass-first team inside of a spread offense. Granted, they had been heading versus Oregon’s next and 3rd teamers but the Bruins offense looked like, well, an offense. With Kevin Prince set for arthroscopic surgery on his best suited knee on Saturday, is it time to open up the playbook for the far better passer, Richard Brehaut? and can the Pistol offense genuinely succeed in the Pac-10?
