This blog post is a response to the article: “How Will Oregon Respond The 1st TIme It’s Really Challenged?”. Here is the link to the article I read: How Will Oregon Football Respond the 1st Time It’s Really Challenged?. I appreciate the analysis of the Oregon offense. The statistics and numbers referenced are hard to beat. The Oregon Ducks have held its opponents to a total of 24 points in the first quarter (cumulative results for Virginia, Tennessee, and Colorado) and just 16 in the remaining three quarters. Furthermore, the Oregon Ducks are 1 of 5 teams in history to 50+ points in 5 straight games. These opponents weren’t the best teams but the results would suggest that Oregon could achieve a similar outcome against a better team. The first real competitors Oregon will face are the University of Washington and UCLA. However, I agree with the article that the Ducks will thrive under the uptempo offenses of both UCLA and Washington. In my opinion Stanford will be the first real challenge for the Ducks; that game will establish Oregon (or Stanford) as a BCS National Championship team.
