Michigan State did play them with a healthy Vernon Adams, but Oregon out gained MSU and MSU barely won--would not have if it were not for two Oregon turnovers.  Adams lit them up for more than 300 yards, although MSU did hold Freeman in check.

In the other two losses Adams did not play or played only a few plays.  His absence allowed WSU and Utah to key on shutting down Freeman.  We are not going to be playing that team.

The Michigan State game is a better indicator.  Or look at ASU, which turned into an arcade game.

I think the 2009 game may be an apt comparison.
