Troy Franklin put on a show in Oregon's big victory over the Bruins The big stage didn't intimidate sophomore wide receiver Troy Franklin. Playing in primetime brought out the best in him. Bo Nix looked his way early and often, and he delivered with touchdown catches and completions in heavy traffic. He finished with eight receptions for 132 yards and his first career two-touchdown game.

Report Card: Despite the big win over UCLA, the defense still isn't quite there What’s scary about this team is that although the players came up huge, the defense still has a ways to go.

Is It Possible for Ducks to Reach CFB Playoffs?

Oregon's win over UCLA puts College Football Playoff committee in a tough spot If Oregon goes on to win the rest of the games on its schedule — which they are favored to do — emerging from the regular season as a one-loss Pac-12 Champion with the lone mark on their record coming in Week 1 against the defending national champions, I think they have a real case to get into the playoff. They will have proved time and again that they are the best team in the Pac-12, and leagues better than the squad that traveled to Atlanta months before.

Bill Oram: Oregon Ducks coach Dan Lanning takes page from Chip Kelly’s book to overwhelm Bruins Sending his kicker onto the field with a one-touchdown lead and directing him to recover his own onside kick. That’s something Kelly would have done. Going for it on fourth down and 1 in his own territory — twice — for a back-breaking seven-minute drive? Chip would have done that, too.

ESPN: Oregon's onside kick spurs victory over Chip Kelly, No. 9 UCLA It was a play Oregon had been practicing all week in secrecy, taking advantage of an opening they saw in UCLA's kickoff coverage team. Lanning even told members of the media who saw them working on it in practice to keep it quiet. The incoming rain also factored in.

"We saw it after the first kickoff, and we felt like, OK, that's the look we want, we think we got a chance for it. It looked like there was some weather coming in. We felt like if there was a chance to steal a possession it would be before the weather really hit."
