I'm not a major football fan, except for when the Packers went to the Superbowl, then all of a sudden I was the biggest green and gold fan girl you will ever see, but apparently Oregonians live and breathe it. This weekend several stories about both college and upper level football teams took focus away from the minimal 9/11 coverage.
The Oregon Ducks are ranked 13th and recently picked up a win against Nevada, blowing them away 69-20.
Duck's quarterbacks Darron Thomas and Bryan Bennett were to thank for their upgraded offense, but coach Chip Kelly says the defense could use some work.
The team is slated to play Missouri State this coming weekend and then switching their focus to effectively defeating Arizona.
When it comes to football, I know basic rules and guidelines, how you can go about scoring, and some of the major players. As for college level I don't know a whole lot. Marquette University has only left me with extended knowledge of basketball, soccer, and maybe a little rowing, but no football.
For now, I'll just stick with cheering when my dad does and hope people know what I'm talking about.
