Oregon football may have the most consistent scoring offense in the nation
It's hard to believe after watching the first two games of the season come down to the wire, but Oregon football is 11-0 and just one win away from likely punching its ticket to the College Football Playoff.
The Ducks are coming off their closest win of the season since the Ohio State game, going into Madison and stealing a victory away from Wisconsin after trailing for a good chunk of the game.
The Ducks' 16-point performance in the win was actually one of the rare sub-30 point games for the team but it shows just how consistent they have been this season. In fact, through 11 games, the Ducks have a top-30 scoring offense in the country, ranking No. 27 at 33.9 per game. That's the model of consistency.
What makes this scoring average so consistent and kind of impressive is the fact that Oregon has only scored 40 or more once this season and it has only had fewer than 30 points in two games.
In eight of the Ducks' 11 games this season, they have scored at least 30 and no more than 40 points and I fully expect that to continue in the finale against Washington.
Outside of the first three games where the Ducks had 24 points against Idaho and 49 against Oregon State, they had seven straight games with point totals between 31 and 39. That's unheard of and, honestly, it might just be the most consistent scoring offense in the nation.
If you throw Week 1 and the Wisconsin game out the window, Oregon is essentially guaranteed to score at least 30 points a week.
That consistency, thanks in large part to Dillon Gabriel, Jordan James, and Tez Johnson, is the difference between a solid bowl team and an elite playoff contender.
Oregon may not have 2019 LSU's offense, but it's going to get its points consistently.
