Every sports team wants to be playing their best ball as the season winds down, and it looks like that's exactly what the Oregon Ducks are doing. It wasn't even close to their highest scoring output this year, but it felt just as dominant as any other blowout this season because of how good the opposing defense was.
The Minnesota Golden Gophers gave their opponents fits all year with a ferocious front seven. However, that was far from the case on Friday as the Ducks did pretty much whatever they wanted on offense. The main culprit was tight end Kenyon Sadiq, who is this week's Ducks Wire Player of the Game for his career day.
Sadiq set a new career high in both receptions and yards, with eight and 96 respectively. He was ruled out of last week's game shortly before kickoff and it seems like he used that as fuel after seeing the clinic he put on against Minnesota.
He looked like a brand new player, running people over and seemingly getting open at will, even hauling in an impressive touchdown in the second quarter. We've seen multiple times this year just how potent this Oregon offense can be, and if this is the version of Sadiq they'll be getting moving forward, then the sky is the limit for how good this unit can be.
