The Ducks' 'D' is offensive, a long season for the Beavers, the Vikings lose in 'Whoville'

Here are my three takeaways from the weekend in college football ...

-- The situation is worse at Oregon than I expected. I never foresaw the Ducks' defense getting rolled that way by a Colorado team with a backup quarterback.

The Ducks will be tested mentally, physically and emotionally this week. They play at Washington State. WSU doesn't have a great football, team but the Cougars' "Air Raid" offense has given the Ducks fits in recent years.

-- It's going to be very long season at Oregon State. I'll give the Beavers credit for rallying from a horrible half to play a creditable third and fourth quarters in a 38-24 loss to Boise State.
