Cody Pickett is Overrated

Oregon demolished Washington State last week in a game that wasn't as close as the score indicated.

Game Grades

Cameron Colvin: D He was just about to prove my "historically overrated Oregon Senior who magically gets good" theory before he got injured. With him injured the only football player left to prove the theory is Dixon, who is proving it quite well. Luckily for us Oregon has a basketball season just around the corner that will allow us to test more supposed wives tales relating to Oregon Athletics.

Walter Thurmond III: F He was absolutely terrible against WSU. He got destroyed by a true freshman who didn't even play football in high school. It doesn't say much about your coverage ability when you get abused by a player who has played football for 3 months. Mike Bellotti has already initiated a search for Walter Thurmond the 4th.

Dennis Dixon: C+ This might seem a little low for someone who went 21-28 for almost 300 yards, however over 200 of Dixon's passing yards came from screen passes. Luckily from him the game wasn't on TV and the "heisman pundits" will be fooled by his numbers.

Alex Brink: A+ His performance rivals that of fellow Midwestern League alum Matt Baramow.

Oregon moves a step closer to conquering the state of Washington this week with a game @ Washington. The last time Oregon played in Seattle Oregon got demolished 42-10 but it was still a great moment in Oregon football history. I will give ten dollars to anyone who can tell me what that moment was and who was involved. Here is a hint: look at the title of this post (and no the person involved was not Cody Picket)
