Seriously, when has Oregon EVER won a big game? They've been a perennial Top 5 team for the past 10 years, but whenever they face a SEC team they invariably get beat. Even lowly Clemson takes on SEC teams and occasionally beats them like Georgia, LSU and Auburn in the last 3 years. Oregon can only beat Big 10 teams out of conference.
So far this year Oregon has scored 460 points while opponents have scored 250, roughly
HALF as many points - that seems like a fairly good recipe for success.
FYI - FSU opponents have scored 228 on the Noles - an average of only 3 points less per game than the Ducks - yet I don't hear you whining about their "lack of gumption" or complaining they can't beat the SEC.
In the last 5 years Oregon has only played 2 SEC teams - and granted the Ducks lost both those games - one was against #1 Auburn by 3 lousy points and the other was against #2 LSU and was the first game of the 2011 season.
Besides the fact that those teams no longer exist - two fairly close and competitive losses don't "define" a program.
Perhaps a record of 54-8 over the last five years is a better reflection of Duck Football -as is a respectable 45-18 for Clemson.
Clemson lost to #1 Auburn the very same year the Ducks did and they lost to Georgia a few years later - and they always seem to find a way to loose to South Carolina (SEC East).
Sure Clemson has won against four mostly unranked SEC teams in the last five years - but that doesn't give you the right to imply that their record is somehow "better" than the Ducks simply because they play the SEC much more than the Ducks do.
Especially considering their record for the last five years is 4-6 against the SEC - certainly not knocking them dead.
So - at least be reasonable with your whines.
