Congratulations to the Ducks players.... but not the coaches. It's all on the players now anyways given the season. What a performance by Justin Herbert and Royce Freeman. They played with grit and pride, especially when they trailed 28 to 24 with about 70+ yards to go and a few minutes left to score the winning touchdown. Ducks beat a good Utah team at home. They were ranked #11 and had so much at stake. The Ducks played well and hard the whole game.

I'm glad for the Ducks seniors who had so much success in every year of their career except this year, and it's good momentum as they get ready for Oregon State in the Civil War. But it's so ironic that the Ducks player who caught the winning touchdown, Darren Carrington II, is the same guy who has been accused of assault (detailed in another article in this same edition of the Register Guard). I mean, if that doesn't capsulize how wacky this season has been for Oregon football, I don't know what would. Wow.
