The Oregon Ducks are learning that you can’t buy a championship culture

The Oregon Ducks entered the season with championship expectations. Instead, they’re 5-3 with virtually zero hope of earning a playoff spot. Injuries deserve some of the blame. Quarterback Dante Moore missed three straight games with a concussion before head coach Dan Lanning confirmed that he isn’t expected to return this season. Oregon also entered the Illinois game that served as the final nail in their season’s coffin missing a handful of other key weapons.
