Stock Report: Ducks' defense struggles, while 3rd-down offense goes missing vs. Huskies
Typically this season, when we’ve gone through a post-game stock report to see which players on the Oregon Ducks roster improved or struggled the most in a game, we’ve found mostly positives to focus on.
That shouldn’t come as a surprise when talking about a team that went 11-1 in the regular season and made an appearance in the Pac-12 Championship Game.
However, when you manage to lose that Pac-12 Championship Game to your biggest rivals, the Washington Huskies, in a fashion that has become all-too-familiar over the past couple of years, it’s hard not to find the many areas where improvement is needed.
That’s the case for the Ducks on Saturday morning, who woke up with a bad taste in their mouths after a 34-31 loss to Washington that felt like it shouldn’t have been that close, ultimately.
With the loss, Oregon missed out on a spot in the College Football Playoff, and they likely saw QB Bo Nix miss out on a Heisman Trophy as well.
For Oregon fans, the feeling of disappointment is likely pretty prevalent on Saturday morning as well.
As we continue to dive into the game to find out what went wrong and what went right, let’s go through our stock report to break down a few individuals...

8 major takeaways from Oregon's heartbreaking 34-31 loss to Washington in Pac-12 title game
The Oregon Ducks had it all laid out in front of them when they woke up in Las Vegas on Friday morning. A spot in the College Football Playoff, a Heisman Trophy and the last Pac-12 Championship trophy in the sport’s history.
All they needed to do was execute. It wasn’t going to take anything that they hadn’t proven week in and week out that they could do. They just needed to play their game for four quarters and beat a solid Washington Huskies team, something many believe they were capable of.
In the end, they couldn’t. They couldn’t start hot and grab early momentum, and they were unable to get key stops late in the game when it mattered.
Ultimately, they were unable to advance in what was looking more and more like a dream season that belonged in the Oregon Ducks history books.
Now, they will be left with a New Year’s Six Bowl game that will likely be played with a backup roster and a depth chart that is a shell of what it currently looks like.
And they will spend another year wondering if the dream of hoisting a national championship trophy in Eugene is actually possible.
It’s a tough reality for Oregon fans to swallow, seeing that dream fade once again, but it’s not a season that should be forgotten any time soon.
Here are some of my biggest takeaways from the game on Friday night, a memorable finale to the Pac-12...

Bo Nix falls out of Heisman conversation with loss to Washington in Pac-12 title game
With even an average performance in a win on Friday night, the Heisman Trophy likely would have been wrapped up for Oregon Ducks quarterback Bo Nix.
He entered the game as a strong favorite to win the award, and there was a feeling that if he could perform on the big stage and lead his team to a spot in the College Football Playoff, then the bronze hardware would have his name on it.
Unfortunately for Duck fans, that’s not what happened. Nix didn’t play poorly, though his numbers were a bit subpar compared to his standard.
But the Ducks’ ultimate 34-31 loss let the air out of the balloon in the Oregon QB’s Heisman case, with LSU QB Jayden Daniels now taking over as the huge favorite to win it next week.
Here’s a look at the latest odds as of Saturday morning...

Bill Oram: For Bo Nix and Oregon Ducks, a magical ride comes to an abrupt end
You’re never quite prepared for the end.
Bo Nix wasn’t.
Five years and 60 games into his college football career, the Oregon quarterback woke up Friday morning three wins away from a national championship. By the end of the night, there was nothing left to play for.
“You don’t prepare for losing,” Nix said quietly.
Purple confetti still littered the field inside Allegiant Stadium. Work crews had begun removing the OREGON painted in the south end zone. The scoreboard still read Washington 34, Ducks 31...

Ducks meet familiar fate vs. Washington in Pac-12 title game loss
Oregon quarterback Bo Nix was in an introspective state of mind after what might have been his final college football game Friday night.
When it ended, as Washington running back Dillon Johnson took a pitch for 18 yards on third-and-9 with less than a minute remaining, Nix sat motionless on the end of the Ducks bench with a towel over his head.
He remained like that as the final seconds ticked off to seal the Huskies' 34-31 win in the Pac-12 championship game and as the other sideline erupted in celebration and streamed onto the field.
Nix had plenty on his mind as the No. 5-ranked Ducks (11-2) came up just short yet again to this Washington team -- the second loss this season and third in the last two seasons, all by 3 points -- and came up just short of what would have likely been a College Football Playoff berth.
"Football's a tough game, and sometimes you put it all out there and you come up short," Nix said afterward.
"There at the end it was just one of those things where you want the moment to last longer than what it can, and even though we lost it was one of those type of games it was really fun to play in.
It was just a shocking end. It's tough when you're so used to go, go, go, go, go to when it ends, it's like, it just happens very quickly. ...
"What sometimes hurts is when you put it all out there and it's still not good enough."...

Rivals250 quarterback Michael van Buren has decommitted from Oregon. The Baltimore (Md.) St. Frances Academy standout committed to the Ducks in May.
Van Buren originally chose Oregon over Penn State and Maryland. He took an official visit to Eugene in June but that's the only official visit he's taken this recruiting cycle.
Expect van Buren to take visits this month and sign during the Early Signing Period. He is also expected to compete at the Under Armour All-America Game.
Playing for St. Frances Academy, van Buren is very experienced playing with and against elite prospects. In his last two seasons as a starter, van Buren led the Panthers to a 14-7 record...

Ducks Wire Player of the Game: Terrance Ferguson gives the Ducks a shot
It didn’t seem like the Washington Huskies could twist the dagger they have in the Oregon Ducks any further after their win back in October, but that’s what they did in their 34-31 win in the Pac-12 Championship on Friday night.
Things started ugly for Oregon. Washington was the more physical team and Oregon’s offense couldn’t stay on the field. With a few minutes left in the first half, it looked like the Ducks would head into the locker room down 3-20.
But, the Oregon offense strung together a few chunk plays, got down to the goal line, and cashed in for a TD on a beautiful catch from TE Terrance Ferguson...

Washington completes season sweep of Ducks to snare final Pac-12 crown
Oregon used a 21-point run in the middle quarters to take a lead, but it mattered not, as third-ranked Washington held off Oregon for a 34-31 win in the final Pac-12 Championship game in Las Vegas.
Oregon's magical run came to a close on Friday night in Las Vegas. Washington's will roll on.
The Ducks fell behind by 17 points in the first half, rallied to score 21 straight to take their only lead of the night before Washington answered with two touchdowns to win 34-31 and seal a perfect conference slate and punch its ticket to the College Football Playoff.
The defeat ends the Ducks six-game win streak and gives Washington two wins over the Ducks this season. Instead of playing for it all, Oregon will now await its bowl designation on Sunday...
