DUCKS: Heartbreaker


Cal 31, Oregon 24. Oregon beat Oregon. Cal will tell you differently, but neither team came out punching. Even once the butterflies were out and the game was flowing, it wasn't 'til the 2nd half that we saw the offense of either team come to play. (Note: This was the first sporting event in some time that I was so invested in that had literal knots in my stomach. I had to shake it off.) Unfortunately, Dennis Dixon had two crucial interceptions late in the game that cost Oregon the game. Cal capitalized. It's that simple. The Cameron Colvin end-zone fumble (pictured here) was an enigmatic play for this team. This could have tied the game and changed the course of this season. 16 seconds left and INCHES away from tying the game. AAAWWWW! But it was a great showdown. A great game to watch regardless. Now, we find out what this team is really made of. Toughest part: they don't play for 2 weeks now. I still believe they are still a 9 or 10 win team this year. Show me.
