Civil War Fun Facts

Recommended Posts

In the age of ultra-high powered offenses (Oregon 2nd in the nation scoring 46.5 mpg) it's kinda fun to look back when Defenses completely dominated the landscape.  Or was that just slow, dull, boring Offenses?

 

6 times in CW history, this game ended in a 0-0 tie, the last being in 1983 (remember the 'Toilet Bowl'?).  Once (1896) the game ended 2-0 in Corvallis.  Oregon won.  Other close games were 1912: 3-0 Ducks, 1907: 4-0 Beavers, 1903: 5-0 Ducks, 1914: 3-3 tie.  

 

There were lots of other close, low scoring games.  This series has for the most part always been very competitive. The Beavers have won 2 of the last three but in games where the scores were in the high 30s, mid-to-low 40s.  Quite a difference.  Day after tomorrow, we're likely to see another game in the 30s & 40s.  

 

Do we as fans like these high scoring games?   Or would we like to see another 2-0 slugfest?  I kinda know what you guys would like:  42-0 Oregon.  But that's not very likely, alas.  GO DUCKS!
