Oof, my fingers are still burning from last week's prediction. But, here we go.. Ducks 42-20 1TO 3 Sacks 245 yds passing Air yards are this low because I hope OBD does a ground and pound on Rutgers. Something that was a week late in coming. Something Tony Soprano would be proud of and Jersey mobster Tony Provenzano probably did to Jimmy Hoffa.

I'd love nothing more than to see PSU pull what UCLALA pulled on them against Indiana or do a Michigan on Bucknutt. It could happen.

DUCKS 49-17 2 TO 3 SACKS 285 PASS YRDS

Oregon 38 - Rutgers 21 2 TOs 2 Sacks 290 Passing Yards

Oregon is not Penn St nor Wisconsin. Oregon is Oregon. They have adopted multiple unis. Its their tradition. Clothing for the fans isn't what the fans tend to do. Cant seem to get everyone on the same page in the stands so let's just focus on those Screaming Unis this week! Thats the coolest uniform combination I've ever seen. I truly hope that the numbers turn bold Mallard green when the light hits just right. Just....Cool!!!!

It might have helped if our O could have sustained longer drives..

Hello My OBD FishDuck Forum Friends! What is your prediction of Oregon versus Rutgers? Take your shot and let's have fun with it... Let's get these predictions started, and remember I look for the differential between your predicted points with both teams from the actual points. I will use the tiebreaker information when needed, so provide all the data below! Entries without ALL the information are invalid, and predictions on other threads don't count. We Have Two New Rules: If two winning scores are the same? The first one who posted wins, automatically. TerryM9 gets 42-6 locked in every time as his. (I love this guy!) Please follow directions, as I need all that is below for tiebreakers: --the winner --the score --the amount of turnovers Oregon creates --the number of sacks Oregon records on the opposing team --the number of passing yards by the Ducks. My prediction is: Oregon 45-20 2 3 251

Defensive Performance Review – Indiana Game Indiana demonstrated a balanced offensive attack with an efficient power run game, recording a 23–14 advantage in first downs. Their ability to sustain drives and control the line of scrimmage provided a clear model of execution we can learn from. Our defensive performance showed strong moments early, but we experienced a noticeable decline in the fourth quarter in each of the last two games. This drop-off indicates a need to improve our finish, and late-game consistency. The issue may not be solely athlete-related — potential contributing factors include player rotation, team depth, and defensive alignment. These areas can create situations where fatigue, and a numbers disadvantage at the line of scrimmage impact overall defensive effectiveness. Next Steps: Review player rotation patterns and evaluate late-game substitutions. Assess alignment strategies to reduce stress on front-line defenders. Continue developing depth to sustain performance through all four quarters.

But you only have to wait one week instead of months to start getting that Hoosier taste out of your mouth. Hopefully, OBD will brush away Rutgers all Knights long. Get Right at Rutgers! 😁

Smh..we got this dude a new contract. This has been an awful week for me... Im right back feeling like when we lost to Ohio St..☹️

In his own words, Kenjon "had to vent" about the Indiana game, and does so for the first 40 minutes of this Ducks of a Feather podcast. Great stuff!!! Find it here. (I hope this works because I have never linked anything before.)

Doctor, Doctor, Mr. MD. Great question. My answer: How about NO! But with a game at Ohio State followed by a home game versus Indiana, the Nits will have a chance to do so. PSU could also derail Nebraska's PO hopes when it plays the Cornhuskers in Lincoln.

Everybody has seemed to write off Penn State as a threat in the B1G and for good reason. They’re winless in the conference, they just fired their head coach, their QB is out for the season and it seems that even their own administration has even written them off as they begin their search for a new coach. However, there is one thing a lot of people are overlooking. Talent. Penn State has loads of it and now the proverbial chains are off. They are no longer weighed down by the high expectations of winning a title. They also don’t have to worry about playing for their head coach’s job. However, they still should be motivated to perform well because many of them skipped the NFL draft to come back for this season. These players certainly don’t want to see their draft stocks buried because they gave up on their seasons. Perhaps the coaching staff felt micromanaged by their former head coach and now they can continue to implement their game plans without interference. Maybe their backup QB is an accurate passer who makes good decisions, but lacked the prototypical size and arm strength to start. Whatever happened, they weren’t responding positively to Franklin’s leadership. I’m quite sure the interim coach has told them that they’re capable of playing like a contender and it’s time to show it. They still have, Iowa, Ohio State and Indiana left on their schedule. If I’m Terry Smith my message is simple. Try to ruin every opponent’s chance at the playoffs for the remainder of the season. https://www.ydr.com/story/sports/college/penn-state/football/2025/10/16/how-penn-state-football-can-recover-without-james-franklin-at-iowa/86610310007/

Drink is from Alma, AR (Go Airedales!). I don’t think we’re going to see him making the jump to Arkansas just because he was a Razorbacks fan growing up. Believe me, if they could coerce him or The Gus Bus to come to Fayetteville they would. However, for Drinkwitz, jumping ship from an established program to go rebuild a program is the definition of insanity. As for Gus, I’m not sure he wants the headache of dealing with NIL.

Im sure he is loyal to Indiana but Im also sure he is loyal to 11.6 mil.

BTW, My family harkens from Monroe City and Hannibal M0. They couldn't wait to get out.

Good for Cignetti, double good for Indiana and there fans. I respect Cignetti for being loyal and for the AD stepping up to keep him. The AD got out front of his coach being poached. . Now that Indiana settled this issue, can we now get back to the real task at hand? Getting the Duck O Ferrari back on the track? LOL Go Ducks.....

Im sure the poster was referring to Portland-that guy has probably never heard of EUGENE

Columbia, in the middle of the Show Me State, is not Saint Louis. The population is 130,000 or so, slightly over 250,000 if you include the capital, Jefferson City. There is crime there, of course, but nowhere close to the rate in St. Louis. Coach Eli Drinkwitz's job at Mizzou is secure. FWIW, he has said he is not a candidate for the Penn State job. He would not even be a lateral hire for Penn State. The only firing I can think of, akin to Franklin's firing, was Georgia firing Mark Richt. A guy who won a lot of games but could not score a championship for the Dawgs. It was risky hiring alum Kirby Smart, a guy without head coaching experience, but the risk certainly paid off in Athens. Nevertheless, the Tomfoolery on social media is always worthy of a good laugh. Every child growing up in Eugene will become an addict. Thank goodness Justin Herbert and Bryce Boettcher managed to stay straight, right? 🤪 BTW, Curt Cignetti just signed an eighth-year extension of his contract with Indiana. Curt and his agent want to thank Penn State AD Pat Kraft for the assist. 🤑

LOL -Apparently that poster hasn't visited St Louis lately.
