Oregon had its share of mistakes, but so did a&m. Nothing ever goes perfectly in track and field, and the depth that a&m had in the sprints and jumps was too much for the ducks. Lets face it though, pretty impressive for a distance oriented squad to be in contention. Sprint oriented teams have a big advantage in outdoor track and field, much like distance oriented teams in indoor t&f
Just because OR won indoor this year, doesn't mean it's the norm. It's an anomaly that they (a distance program) won - and PERHAPS, why they did not win outdoor. (too much of an emphasis on indoor - with a distance oriented team)
