Ducks named as Kirk Herbstreit’s top-performing team in Week 9

Watching the Oregon Ducks’ impressive performance against the Utah Utes on Saturday was a treat. The offense led by Bo Nix effortlessly dissected one of the top defenses in the nation, while the defense led by Tysheem Johnson and Evan Williams completely shut down the Utah offense, preventing them from scoring a single touchdown.

Whether you’re an offense or defense-minded football fan, there was something for everyone to enjoy on Saturday.

As a result, Dan Lanning and the Ducks have quickly garnered national attention and emerged as serious contenders for the College Football Playoff. ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit, among many analysts, was impressed with Oregon’s performance and included them in his list of top teams in the country.

Additionally, Herbstreit releases a weekly list of the best-performing teams for that specific week. It’s no surprise that Oregon made the cut.
