Quack Attack is Back Jack

It has not been a well kept secret that Hard Knox Sports is an Oregon Ducks fan even from across the country. All the professional level jokes about Joey Harrington and Kellen Clemens can be easily ignored. There will always be the excuse, "If Dennis Dixon did not tear his ACL in 2007 they would be at least Pac-10 Champs."

This year did not look like a great year for the Ducks though. Boise State embarrasses them on the Blue Turf, LeGarrette Blount suspended for the year after a cheap shot, a squeak by Purdue. But today gave a big reason for all fans to Yell-O as the Ducks destroyed the California Golden Bears 42-3 in front of the Autzen Zoo.

Everything looked good from the defense shutting down Heisman hopeful Jahvid Best to just 55 yards, Jeremiah Masoli and Ed Dickson linked telepathically for 148 yards and three touchdowns, and those amazing throwback uniforms.

Between this win and snapping Utah's 16 game win streak the week before the sky is the limit for the Ducks. Cal is temporarily out of the picture, USC is once again not the invincible force they were supposed to be, and the sexy sleeper that was Oregon State became a flop. The Pac-10 is up for grabs.

The Ducks do have challenges in the next three weeks with UCLA and Washington, who defeated USC. After that it is a Halloween night in the Autzen Zoo against USC. With the way the team has looked after the last two weeks, Chip Kelly will not have any reason to give any more fans their money back. Look for celebrations in many different colored jerseys in Eugene.
