Oklahoma State might have known which plays Oregon Ducks were running during upset win
Fox News • • sports
Key Points:
- Oklahoma State pulled off a major upset against the Oregon Ducks in Week 2, dominating with 554 yards and 237 rushing yards, while Oregon struggled offensively with just 281 total yards.
- Despite high preseason expectations for Oregon, including returning quarterback Dante Moore and a strong recruiting class, the Ducks have been disappointing through two games, barely beating Boise State and losing decisively to Oklahoma State.
- Oklahoma State's defense reportedly exploited Oregon's offensive line tendencies, allowing them to anticipate plays, and quarterback Dante Moore's pre-snap stances may have telegraphed run or pass plays.
- While play-calling predictability may have contributed to Oregon's poor performance, Oklahoma State's players also executed well on both sides of the ball, making the upset a legitimate dominance rather than a fluke.
- Oregon will face Portland State next, offering a chance to regroup before a critical matchup against No. 12 USC on September 26, where coaches will likely address issues of predictability and execution.
