As a Texas fan, do Oregon's struggles make you feel better?

The Oregon OL is ravaged by injuries. They've lost their top 3 OT's & an interior lineman (a Senior). They're currently starting a rsFr at RT & a walk-on at LT.

Last week, they allowed 7 sacks to Washington State.

Last night, they allowed 5 sacks to Arizona.

They're having trouble running the ball & pass pro is a major issue. They escaped against Wazzu last week. They didn't escape last night. 

And all this is with a Heisman candidate under Center.

 
Just confirmation on how important the OL is. The Patriots also have an awful OL and you see what that has done to Tom Brady's performance. Besides not having any wide receivers also.

 
ditto.  if they lost to arizona 41-7, maybe.
Arizona isn't a great team. The score will be something like that when they play UCLA next weekend. UCLA will win by 20 something IMO.

If I'm not a fan of a ranked team it is always somewhat pleasing to see them lose.

 
To quote S-T-P:    NO

truly a sad day, when another team's struggles shall make TEXAS feel better.​

one can only pray... that we shall never become this pathetic....​

 
Living in the PacNW, it always makes me happy to see the ducks lose. Their fan base is only surpassed in delusion by the ags. For a team that has NEVER won anything, they sure strut around up here like banty roosters. Losing to AZ will quiet them for a bit. Lose three this season and they'll all of a sudden become Portland Timbers soccer fans.

This was my point. That's why I put the stats in my post.

I should have asked, "Given Oregon's OL struggle, do you feel better about the Texas offense?"

I thought that was implied. Apparently not.

The answer is still no.

Since I also live in PAC-12 country, their crap does get a little old.  Thankfully the Sacramento area is not a hotbed of college fans.

People often cite Autzen as a stadium that is a terrible place to play since the fans are very vociferous, but it sounded pretty much like any other stadium when the Ducks were behind late in the game.  People tend to sit on their hands when their team is behind period.

 
My position is not that it makes me happy to see them lose, but rather that I like to see underdogs win when I don't have a dog in the fight.
