Grading the Ducks: LSU

The good news is, these aren't final grades. This is a 10-point quiz in the first week of class. Oregon is still the defending conference champion. They control their own destiny for the Rose Bowl and a very successful season, and they can use this experience to develop leadership and become a better football team. They get to play Nevada at Autzen Stadium in five days, and rediscover the fun of playing football again, before a loud, enthusiastic and positive crowd. A solid performance in game two will make game one far less important and painful.
