Oregon CB Deommodore Lenoir Leaves the Game With an Injury

Oregon has suffered a few tough blows early in the game against Washington as they fell down 14-7 early and took what could be a tough loss in one of their best pass defenders.

A brutal first half for the Ducks just suffered another blow midway through the second quarter, as cornerback Deommodore Lenoir was helped to the locker room, though he was able to walk off of the field under his own power. It has been announced that Lenoir will TK. 

Lenoir will be a tough loss for Oregon if he is unable to return, as he has had an incredible start to the season and was named to multiple preseason All-American lists recently. 

The game has not gone as planned for the Ducks so far, as they fell behind 14-7 to Washington Huskies despite opening the game with an impressive 12-play drive to get on the board. QB Justin Herbert has left a lot to be desired, as he has strung together multiple bad drives after opening the game going 5-for-5 for a TD. 

LB Troy Dye Also was taken to the sideline early in the game and had a good amount of blood cleaned off of his uniform as he had his right hand wrapped. He did end up making it back into the game shortly after. 

The defense as a whole for Oregon has been a far cry from the dominant unit that we've seen so far this year, as Washington has had much success running the ball and getting outside of the tackles. The secondary has also struggled at times with Washington QB Jacob Eason, who has been able to find some holes in the defense and find success in the air.
