Oregon Football escaped Washington State with a 44-41 victory on the back of a dramatic 4th quarter comeback--the likes of which Duck fans have not seen in a LONG time--and some stellar play from QB Bo Nix. His leadership and strong play helped propel the offense to 29 fourth quarter points that featured explosive plays, including the go-ahead 50-yd touchdown to sophomore WR Troy Franklin, who's coming into his own. He was far from the only standout on Saturday.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin reacts to Oregon's dramatic victory up in Pullman, a place that has proven to be a tougher place to play than some may think. Kris Hutson had his best game of the year, and there were a bevy of other Ducks who played critical roles in Saturday's thrilling victory--including DJ Johnson, who had 2 sacks and 2 tackles for loss. As a unit, no group was stronger than the offensive line--who has still not allowed a sack in 2022.

In the midst of overwhelmingly emotional positives, Oregon had several negatives in this game beyond their 87 penalty yards--some of which came at absolutely critical junctures in the game that cast doubt on the Ducks' ability to emerge with a win. The red zone offense was abysmal, specifically in the first half when 3 trips resulted in six total points, and that's an area the Ducks can improve upon and fans should not jump to conclusions about that aspect of the offense.
