Oregon Vs. UCLA: Looking For Consistency In The Duck D
Coming into this season, there was a lot of buzz around the Oregon defense, and that continued through 3 games into the season, as the Ducks shut out two opponents and led the nation in total defense.
But since then the Oregon defense has seemingly taken a half step backwards. They gave up 597 yards to Arizona State (while forcing 7 turnovers), they gave up 31 points in one half to Stanford (though none in the second half), and they allowed Washington State to move the ball far more than any fan would have liked (though they held WSU to 4.4 yards per play).
