Two weeks after a demolishing loss to Utah, it was much of the same for the No. 10 Oregon Ducks on Friday night in Las Vegas.
The Ducks had a disastrous showing on offense and defense with a plethora of mistakes in a 38-10 blowout loss to the Utes in the Pac-12 championship game at Allegiant Stadium.
Oregon (10-3) mustered its lowest offensive output of the season with 221 yards, and the Ducks now are likely headed for the Alamo Bowl after spending much of the season in the College Football Playoff discussion.
Utah (10-3) is headed to the Rose Bowl for the first time in school history after starting the season 1-2. Utes linebacker Devin Lloyd was named the player of the game after recording seven tackles and an interception return for a touchdown.
The embarrassing loss for Oregon received a lot of attention from media and college football fans across the board. Here’s a recap of what they had to say about it on social media:
