It’s hard to comprehend how Oregon blew a 21-point lead late in the third quarter against Oregon State in a game in which the Beavers completed just 6 passes and threw 2 interceptions.

Oregon misses its chance at a fourth straight Pac-12 Championship, and it feels like the sky is falling in Eugene.

It isn’t.

On today’s episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin deals with the fallout from a calamitous game against the Beavs.

The big picture for Oregon Football is still overly optimistic, even though it doesn’t feel like that right now.

The Ducks have made strides from last year, but still have more to make under Dan Lanning.

The frustrations from Saturday’s meltdown are completely warranted for Duck fans.

There is absolutely no excuse for what took place on the field, and it did not happen because Kenny Dillingham has left for the Arizona State job.
