Bears score another TD and are within a TD after being down 20 to start the 4th.

USC likely has put this one away but they sure make it tough on themselves with all these close games against the bottom of the conference.

Cal within 6 now with just under 3 minutes to play. If Oregon somehow meets USC in Pac-12 CG, they're going to be scoring almost at will against the Trojans' defense.

Also, ASU is now within 6 of UCLA in the 4th. Not a good look for the LA schools tonight.

Looks like both will pull out the wins but not good showings against teams they should have beat handily.

And people want to pretend our D is bad.

Oregon's looks downright average when compared to USC's. USC's only saving grace has been their propensity to get INTs off of tipped balls.

A lot of yards we've given up happened during garbage time with our 2s and 3s getting reps. We're not a great defense, but we're much better than stats show.

Shhhh. That ruins the narrative around here that our D is trash. Btw we give up less that 400 a game. When you have the 2 best O in the country, giving up around 380 yards a game makes for easy wins. I also believe it’s a lot easier to flip an O around than a D, it usually takes 2-3 years to get a great D built up.

Oregon's defense isn't perfect, but I feel they are more consistent than the Aliotti defenses. They aren't quite as fast sideline to sideline, but they are much better at stopping those annoying 3rd and long slants that were a huge weakness for Oregon for years.

Our pass defense is 117th (out of 131) in yards allowed. It's an issue.
