David Marsh No. 1 Share Posted December 29, 2022 So Oregon has developed a strange trend in our bowl game wins in recent history. Our last three bowl game victories have all been by one point. 2018 Foster Farms Bowl: Oregon 7 - Michigan State 6 2019- 2020 Rose Bowl: Oregon 28 - Wisconsin 27 2022 Holiday Bowl: Oregon 28 - UNC 27 Also... All wins have been in California so there's that as well. In this same time period our bowl losses have been outside of California and by a lot of points and basically uncompetitive. Just a strange observation, I'm happy for the win as we head into the off season. 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck 1972 No. 2 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I believe it's tough for us to go back east and play because of the time difference adjustment. Less of a problem for east teams coming out West but if you look over the years I think the record bears this out. I know it's been said before that 5 o'clock ( or any other time of day )is the same but again I believe the record doesn't back that up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marsh Author No. 3 Share Posted December 29, 2022 This came to me while I was asleep... Or trying to sleep. Before 2018 the last bowl game Oregon won was 2014 and that was a Rose Bowl win over FSU... Again another California game. So to go to the last bowl game the Ducks won that was not in California was in 2013 and that was an Alamo Bowl win over Mack Brown's Texas team. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love "strange" observations and stats like this. I don't know exactly why, but I just do. Does anyone on occasion warmly refer to you as "Cliff Clavin"? I get that on occasion and proudly accept it . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Duck No. 5 Share Posted December 29, 2022 (edited) Just the fact that our last 2 bowl wins have had identical scores of 28-27, and have been in So Cal, is kind of odd. By no means do I place any credibility whatsoever into numerology, and I never buy lottery tickets, but perhaps it might be time I pick one up Edited December 29, 2022 by Desert Duck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be tempted to place a bet on a final score of 28-27 next time Oregon plays a bowl in southern California. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
