Oregon Ducks' Dominant Loss Raises Questions About Play Tipping

Oklahoma State's upset win over the Oregon Ducks in week two of the college football season has left many questioning how the Cowboys dominated an opponent with national championship aspirations. According to a postgame report, the Cowboys might have had some help from the Ducks themselves, as they noticed tendencies in Oregon's offensive line that helped them key into run or pass. This 'play tipping' raises questions about the Ducks' poor performance and whether they gave the defense free clues as to what's coming. The Ducks' quarterback, Dante Moore, was also found to have different stances in his pre-snap setup, which could have been a 'tell' for the Cowboys. While it's unclear whether the Cowboys were aware of this 'tell,' it presents an interesting possibility that Oregon's poor performance was due, at least partially, to giving the defense free clues. The Ducks will look to correct their predictability in their next game against Portland State, but a massive game against USC Trojans looms on September 26.
