Wow just wow. I will admit 4 weeks ago I would have told you were high if you thought we would go down to the Farm and play like we did.
4 weeks ago, our secondary couldn't cover South Eugene high school's wideout and we stood up against those nerds from Palo Alto. Sorry Uncle Daniel.
I was a little nervous when I got a pregame text from Brent saying Honor thought that Vernon Adams sucks. Luckily we handled that well and ran for 80 yards on our first drive.

We haven't been able to run on a ranked Stanford D in my entire College career. And we put up 155 yards in the first quarter. Highlighted by the Chuck Nelson TD run.

Stanford would then go down and score another TD and after a strip sack of VA and a great stand by our D, Stanford would kick a field goal to go up 20-14 with 2 minutes left in the half. Then Oregon did what we do and score too quickly on this beautiful throw by Vernon.

Of course that led Stanford to throwing the ball on our secondary and went 35 yards in 30 seconds and kicked a field goal to take the lead 23-21 at half.
Coming out in the second half we came out with a fire lit under us and drove the field in 4 plays. Capped off by a Royce Freeman 20 yard run. Then after a Stanford missed field goal it started to set in we had a chance and even more after this VA dime and Taj Griffin run.

At this moment I felt confident and left the bar to go to my roommates MMA fight. Stanford would respond quickly with a TD and after a Duck 3 and out Stanford got the ball back. I was watching a play by play from the arena when the unbelievable happened. Stanford fumbled. All we come up with was 3 to lead 38-30. Then Stanford came down to the Oregon 14 with a 3rd and 1 and Hogan decided he wanted to give us the ball back.
At this moment Brody said game over. Since I know he didn't watch much Oregon football and I'm a pessimistic sports fan, I calmly corrected him that it definitely wasn't over.
Oregon would then proceed to go three and out and give the ball back to Stanford at our own 49 because our punter sucks. Stanford would drive down with the help of a very soft PI call. Typical PAC12 officiating. Then scored a few plays later.
And again it would come down to our D making a huge play, this time it was the senior Joe Walker coming up big.
And just like that Oregon is 7-3 ranked 23 and still alive in the PAC 12 north. Thanks to the return of Vernon Adams.
