Ranking Oregon’s top 10 players in win vs. Colorado according to PFF grades
When you play as well as the Oregon Ducks did in a 42-6 win over the previously ranked No. 19 Colorado Buffaloes, the stats are going to back you up.
More importantly for us, the grades from Pro Football Focus tell much of the story, with the defense largely winning out in our look back at the top 10 graded players from the week.
With seven total sacks on the day, and an ability to shut out the No. 15 scoring offense until the final 3 minutes, it comes as no surprise that Dan Lanning’s defense earned high marks in the contest. Here is a look at some of the top performers from the game, according to PFF (10 snap minimum):
