EUGENE, Ore. — Chip Kelly didn’t see this coming.
Didn’t see his defense, which had been dependable while the Bruins won their first six games this season, would utterly fail to stop Oregon at crucial times. Or almost any time, really, as the Ducks scored on each of their first seven possessions Saturday.
Didn’t foresee that small cracks within UCLA’s defense would be exploited by the Ducks in a 45-30 win that ended the Bruins’ undefeated record and nine-game winning streak with loud, ugly thuds.
