All right, another Sunday recap edition of Always College Football.

0:04.0

Let's go through it, man.

0:05.5

Gotta start with the game of the day.

0:07.7

And I think when you look at both Oregon and Washington, and look, I thought coming into the game it was going to be a great matchup.

0:16.1

And I think we all kind of came out of that one.

0:20.5

I know someone had to lose.
