Got to give credit to Oregon.

I will grumble about the missed hold on the first pass attempt to Taboada.

But costly turnovers and a very good defensive effort by the Ducks are what made the difference, truly.

Oddly, I do feel this Stanford team is potentially on the same level as 2010, 2011. Not sure I believed that until tonight, but the defense in the fourth quarter and Hogan's passing just made clear the high, high ceiling when things are clicking.

A great team. Just not the greatest result tonight.
