I'm not sure our season was "saved" by that call, but okay. As I noted before the WI game, outside of the tOSU game, we quacks had this one circled as our most difficult of the season - an away game across 3 time zones, at the end of an 8-straight-game slough, at one of the most difficult places to play in the B1G.
Losing to WI wouldn't have doomed Oregon's season necessarily, but it would have made it more difficult. It means we likely need to beat UW and maybe win the CCG vs tOSU/Indiana to get in. But a close loss to either of those two in the CCG and I think Oregon would still be dancing ahead of some other 2-loss SEC teams.
