Well Vegas certainly nailed the point spread just about right on for the Oregon/Washington game but many national pundits had claimed pre-game that Oregon should be on upset alert. This of-course didn’t happen for a few reasons. Oregon’s defense played the game of the season and despite Washington attempting to establish a running game Chris Polk was working really hard for his yards. The Dawgs then got in to the mode once they were down a few scores where they had to throw and this lead to Keith Price making poor decisions. The Oregon defense consistently got penetration on Price and the secondary blanketed the excellent UW receiving corps. This lead to six sacks and a bunch of hurries as well and Price was forcing throws and seemed jumpy all game. On the offensive Darron Thomas played a solid game aside from his early fumble. The Oregon running game was dominant as usually. The only real complaints have to be the odd decisions to continue to kick long field goals with Maldonado and a case of the drops by the wideouts. Oregon could have easily won this game by 30 or more but I think the team overall is very happy with the outcome. Helmet stickers to the entire Oregon defense and to LaMichael James.
