Former Oregon Duck Tyrell Crosby shares fighting words about the Big House
By Sam Fariss
Beloved for Oregon defensive star Tyrell Crosby attended the Ducks' game against the Wolverines and the lineman had a few jokes about Michigan's big-time stadium.
As Crosby cheered his former team onto a win, he shared his thoughts on the Big House, the biggest college football stadium in the world.
Oregon's home field, Autzen Stadium, earned its place amongst the loudest college sporting venues in the country when the Ducks downed the Ohio State Buckeyes, whose fans plugged their ears as the Oregon faithful crowd cheered at their loudest level yet.
Now that Autzen is respected as a loud house, it was compared to Penn State's Beaver Stadium, Ohio State's Horseshoe, and Michigan's Big House. However, after Crosby's review of the Wolverines' stadium, maybe the Big House has taken a back seat.
Crosby even reinforced his sentiment by suggesting that the smaller-than-usual Oregon crowd was the loudest group in the stadium.
During his NFL career, Crosby played for the Detroit Lions which are (obviously) Michigan based. The former Lion shared his love for his former home state.
Led by head coach Dan Lanning, quarterback Dillon Gabriel, and linebacker Bryce Boettcher, the Ducks dominated the Wolverines. After four quarters, the No. 1 team in the country earned an astounding 38-17 victory.
The Ducks improved to 9-0 overall with the win over the Wolverines. Oregon returns to Eugene to take on the Maryland Terrapins at Autzen Stadium and will look to improve to 7-0 in Big Ten play. The Terrapins are currently 4-4 overall and have gone 1-4 in conference games.
