Ranking Oregon’s top 10 players vs. California according to PFF grades
If you asked Dan Lanning or some of the Oregon Ducks players on Saturday night how they thought they played in a 63-19 win over the California Golden Bears, most of them would have told you that they were frustrated and that there was a lot of things they needed to clean up.
If you look at the grades from Pro Football Focus, though, it was the best game that the Ducks have played all year.
Overall, PFF gave Oregon a 93.6 grade in their win over California, which tops their previous high of 92.9 which was set in Week 1 against the Portland State Vikings.
As you would expect, a lot of the player grades in this contest were incredibly high as well, with Bo Nix and his 6 total touchdowns leading the way.
