In a season where Oregon allowed a school-record 41.4 points per game, the third-highest average in the 128-team Football Bowl Subdivision, it was difficult for UO to camouflage its defensive weaknesses.
But UO did a pretty good job against Virginia, Cavaliers quarterback Kurt Benkert said recently.
Last week at ACC media days in Charlotte, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Ken Sugiura asked several players about which road-game environment they considered the most fun. Popular picks included Clemson's Death Valley and Florida State's Doak Campbell Stadium.
Benkert, though, chose Autzen Stadium.
Specifically, he mentioned the bright-yellow jerseys UO wore against a backdrop of yellow-clad fans during UO's 44-26 win on Sept.
