Ducks Still Reeling

The past two weeks have been pretty rough for the Ducks of Oregon. First, they needed two missed FG's to beat a mediocre Purdue team in OT. A Boilermaker team who was not supposed to be able to handle the speed and athleticism of OU. Then last week they go out and lose to a Boise State team who had never beaten a Pac-10 team on the road. Add to the fact that Redshirt Freshman QB Kellen Moore made his first road start in duanted Autzen Stadium and threw for 386 yards plus 3 TD's and they have more QB injuries than us, you got a million questions in Eugene. The good thing for the Cougs? OU seems to be looking at the past with questions instead of the future with how they will improve.

Former Cougar great Rueben Mayes will be honored at halftime of the game on Saturday. Since last year he has moved to the Eugene area and has adopted the Ducks as his second favorite team. Here is a pretty interesting article about his life, career and the move to the Eugene area.
