9 AM body clock KO for SC at Illinois. The folks who have beefed the most about game times and travel? The LA coaches, of course. 🤮 https://trojanswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/trojans/football/2025/09/26/lincoln-riley-unhappy-kickoff-time-usc-football-illinois/86354792007/?utm_source=smg-trojanswire-strada&utm_medium=email&

38-30 Penn St 1 TO 0 sacks 260 passing. Run D has not been that impressive. Game Day + White Out + all day tailgating will have the crowd in a frenzy. Revenge game for Penn St. Jim Knowles. Big stage is too much for the young Duck team.

One question has been answered. LaVar Arrington, one of the guys who once helped PSU be LB U, will be the guest prognosticator. What team will Saint Nick pick? Does he go with his pupil, Danno, or with Jimmy Frank? Pulverize Penn State! On3ESPN reveals Week 5 College GameDay guest picker for Penn....

OREGON 31-24 1 3 240

You certainly laid out what the Ducks need to do for a victory in Happy Valley. Composure and mistake free execution in all 3 phases are a must. To me it boils down to how the uber talented freshmen and RS Fresham handle the big stage. And this is a big stage....... Go Ducks, prove me wrong and bring home the win.

DUCKS WIN! 38-28 2 Turnovers 1 Sack 312 yards passing

PSU wins 35-31 1 - TO 0 - Sacks 315 passing yards I think its the first time i have picked against the Ducks! Leaves a bad taste in my mouth. GO DUCKS! Prove me wrong, please

DUCKS 48 - 34 PSU - 3 TOs OBD - 3 sacks Pass Yards by OBD - 325 yds Punish Penn State! Take No Prisoners! Leave No Nits!

Never… DM, with clean pocket, opts to throw ball 10 yards further downfield to the receiver breaking free on a post pattern.

Is it OK if I get back to you on Saturday around 9 PM your time and early Sunday morning my time? The Right Coast is No Country for Sports-Watching Old Men! SIGH.🤬 However, since you inquired, and as I will shortly commit to in the prediction contest, I think OBD wins the game by two scores, at least. Drew Allar's safety blanket, TE Tyler Warren, has left the B1G and Beaver Stadium for a Bigger paycheck (I think?) 🤑 How will Allar respond to his first turnover in this game? The PSU OC knows he will have at least some success running the ball. But are the three newbie WRs going to give PSU a lethal passing attack? The PSU OC does not have Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate (Egbuka last season) on the field. There's a lot of youth in Oregon's Back 7, but the group is bigger and more athletic than the 2024 group. OBD has quick strike scoring ability that I don't believe PSU has. Jim Knowles doesn't have Caleb Downs on the field along with the other Buckeyes D guys who matriculated to the NFL. Penn State has a very good roster, but it is not on par with the roster Ohio State took to last season's playoff. Penn State, including a cupcake OOC threesome, is trying to duplicate what Michigan accomplished in 2024 and what Ohio State accomplished in 2025. I don't believe the Nits have the same talent level as Michigan and Ohio State, or the same coaching acumen. Plaster Penn State!

We have more than enough talent to win this game. But with such a young squad, and almost no experience going into & playing in an environment like PSU, I'm struggling to see us pull it off. If it was at Autzen, I like Mr. Fishduck's score prediction. So, here's hoping I'm dead wrong: PSU 34-28 1 TO 1 Sack (so far, on the season, we've only had a total of 1) 281

Ducks 41-34 2 TO 3 Sack 318 Passing Yards

YES! Reason this game is the "Game Day" game. Winner of this game will be thrust into the "National Champion Favorite" narrative, while the loser will be a "great team" but XYZ issues will limit their ceiling. (ie: Ohio St last year after loss at Autzen, and we ALL know how that turned out). Regardless of the winner/loser of this game Both teams will be in the playoffs conversation the rest of the year. The playoffs are when you want to have discovered and addressed any weaknesses revealed during the course of the season. Then, is when you want to make "a run". Looking forward to this game. Could be a classic! 🦆🏈🪨's

And of course the inverse to that: How quickly Dante releases based upon the distance of a 300# "edge" barreling down on him with murderous intent!

Ducks! 37-27 2 PSU TOs 3 OBD sacks 352 OBD passing yards.

I think next week many of us "hyper focused" critIcs 🧐 of some elements of OBD's shortcomings may realize that it was mountains outa molehills. (Of course get blown out in Happy Valley and we might have some "mountainous" shortcomings to overcome. 😬) Go Ducks.

Hope your back will be in good working order real soon.

Ducks 24-17 1 2 247

Man O Man this is a tough one. Penn St. 34-32 (Last second field goal as time expires) 1 T.O. (Dante will also throw his second INT) 3 Sacks 302 Yds Pass HATE to go against OBD but, at Happy Valley, White Out Pandemonium, two weeks to prepare for OBD. GameDay crowd primed from early am, two of the top rushers in NFL-Lite, B1G conference winning streak Has to end sometime, right? Revenge Game AND "show-me" game for Franklin and his staff. OBD will be in it from the kickoff with several lead changes/ties. Just will run out of time as Penn St. kicks the winning field goal. Will be a win for Penn St comparable to the Ducks win at home, last year vs. Ohio St. For once I hope I am WWAAAaaayyyyy off on my prediction. GO DUCKS!

Bummer on steroids. As said above, there is always 2028. Plus, that will be the rubber match as Saturday we will even the record at 3 - 3.

The PSU OL to this point has been like a stationary wall. They don't get much push (low yards before contact), but don't let much get past them (low negative yardage plays) against poor competition. I take that to mean they are fundamentally sound, but not very athletic, or the running scheme has been a Mario Cristobal special. It's a bit of a conundrum to this point. I think PSU will want to run outside more against us like they did last year, but Oregon is much better at setting the edge this year than prior years. I wonder if we don't just put 5 down linemen and play single high safety and man coverage. Bottle up the run and make the QB beat us with his arm or scrambling.

I stayed up until 10:30 last night helping my high school freshman daughter prepare for her math test, so I'll pass on the number crunching. So my answer is the ball will get there faster than the DB thinks is possible.
