Life comes at you fast in college football. Oregon went from popular preseason title contender to early season disappointment in a hurry, narrowly escaping a Week 1 upset vs. Boise State, then suffering a shocking Week 2 defeat at the hands of an Oklahoma State team that had underwhelmed in its own Week 1 affair against Tulsa.
One of the most perplexing developments from the Ducks’ loss to the Cowboys, aside from the defense allowing 554 yards, was the struggles of star quarterback and potential top NFL draft pick Dante Moore. Moore was completely stymied in the first half before getting into a rhythm in the final two quarters of the eventual loss.
