The last time Oregon played Colorado was the 2002 Fiesta Bowl. The Ducks ran roughshod over the Buffaloes after being snubbed from the Rose Bowl (which served as that year’s championship game). The most iconic memory I have of that game is Maurice Morris doing this:
(Please excuse the egregiously bad video quality. It’s more vivid in my mind, I promise.)
Ahh. That moment felt so good for a 11-year-old version of me. Most Duck fans of a more recent vintage have probably seen this during the Autzen Stadium pregame video, but I’m not sure this clip made it into the 2011 video.
One can only imagine what Oregon would have done against Miami in the Rose Bowl, as Miami beat a Nebraska team that lost to Colorado with nearly the exact same margin of victory as the Ducks had over the Buffaloes.
