Not to mention, the first Rose Bowl win for the Ducks in 95 years!
And for what it's worth, DeAnthony Thomas made Oregon fans feel at ease, were LaMichael James to leave for the NFL, with his 91 yard run for a TD, and another 64 yard run for another touchdown. Those were his only two runs, and in both of them he made Wisconsin players look downright slow. On that 91 yard run, the defensive back practically gives up on the 20 yard line, as he sees DAT continue to pull away.
It went down a lot like I thought it would go: that Oregon would score fast and often; that Wisconsin would use its bulk on the offensive line, to run straight up the middle; and that the game would end with one possession separating the winner from the loser. No blowouts, but this time, I figured Oregon always has the upper hand on its ability to score fast, if it were down late in the 4th quarter. No need to panic, ever, for the Ducks.
By the way, just a reminder to Ducks fans: Sure, you may be the only team this season to play in three straight BCS bowl games, but USC leads all schools with 7 straight BCS bowl game appearances, and a 6-1 record. ;) You have a looooong way to go, to create a dynasty!
Oh, but those helmets were cool.
