And you know they're upset they aren't playing at their place when it would have normally rotated back to USC home but the conference change messed with that. And they dodged us in 2024. Bring on the Trojan Tears!

USC is significantly better in the trenches this year, although if they do have a weakness it would be pass blocking, but our defensive strategy is to pressure the QB without allowing escape lanes which is why we get home infrequently. We trust our secondary to hold up longer and defend the pass better. Makai Lemon, like Serrat is going to make some catches. There is no defense for the perfect pass and catch. I think if there is a weakness on USC's DL it's the edges. Their strength is in the middle.

This is November football. To be the best the Ducks must beat the best. With the Trojans and Huskies on tap there is much to prove. It’s time to waddle the walk. There can be no excuses. Go players! Go coaches! GO DUCKS! I admit bias, but I believe these Ducks are built to succeed. The best is yet to come - Sinatra.

Oregon Ducks' CFP chances increase, per ESPN Football Power Index

The Trojans showed alot of grit and determination in the 2nd half against the Hawkeyes. Their D pitched a shutout and their offense did just enough to put points on the board to pull out a come from behind victory. I feel the Trojan offense was hindered by the weather. Just like our Duck O was restricted against Whisky and the Hawkeyes. OBD's utilized their powerful ground attack to win those games. It appears the game Saturday may have inclement weather. USC does not have a powerful ground attack, they score thru the air. Hope it pours rain and is windy. USC's defense does not match up well to stop the Ducks rush attack. Besides, if the weather is okay, USC has to go up against the best Duck Defense to take the field in along time. The order of the week is to rest, heal up and then remind this talented Trojan team how they are not welcome at Autzen. And support why they wanted to get in a different conference away from Oregon. Go Ducks......Take care of business these last 2 games.....

The game between Oregon and Southern California in Autzen Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 22 will take place at 12:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on CBS. It will be just the second time in the past 10 seasons that the Trojans have played at Autzen Stadium. The last time was a 36-27 Oregon win in 2023 in what was USC's first game in Eugene since 2015.

I'd buy one but not both. We lost at home to the #2 team by 10 points, beat then ranked Iowa on the road and just blew out the Gophers. Okie lost big at home to now out of it Texas and by 8 to Ole Miss. Beating Bama with Mateer having a so-so day will mean something, but not enough to leapfrog OBD. The ES(EC)PN bias will come in with leaving Bama just above Oregon. They did squeak by Georgia at home, but also lost at home to a dismal FSU that lost at home to the 'Furd. In a just universe devoid of Paaawl Finebaum, SEC bias and ESPN talking heads, the Ducks would be ranked above both. I'll be satisfied with splitting the difference. Doesn't matter anyway as Oregon must win both remaining games to hopefully end up at the 6th seed sweet spot.

I'm anticipating Bear and Pregnon will have some insights on the Trojenz trenches. Not to mention an extra gear in their giddy-up going against old teammates.

USC always has trouble in the trenches. I expect our DL will have their QB running for his life most of the game.

USC game set for 12:30. So much for the "Fright Night" Black Out repeat.

You mean when we put three tight ends on the field and move them into a run blocking formation and then into a passing offense? Yeah... that's a headache I'm sure they'll have next week.

Watched a lot of football, today, but did not watch tOSU. OBD have the most balanced offense and an outstanding pass defense. Special teams is good, as well. I wish that the pass rush would put more heat on the opponents’ QB, and that very well could happen Saturday vs USC. I expect a win in both remaining games. We can run through the USC defensive line and their secondary will have a difficult time with our bigger receivers. The mutts will not be a problem. I’m hoping for an injury free finish to what is shaping up to be a very successful regular season. Go Ducks!

Which teams have we struggled against with a high power passing attack? Indiana is the only one. Rutgers and Minnesota had pretty good passing attacks and they had little success. We have some of the best passing defense in the country statistically. It doesn't mean we are going to completely shut down their passing attack, but we can definitely limit them moreso than other teams have through the air. But they've also have had a lot of success on the ground. It's clear we are going to have to put up points. I think it will be first to 30 wins.

He is a great hire to be sure. But before anointing him as the best hire ever, let's see him win something of significance first, lol.

Ole Miss 34 - Florida 24 He tried hard to blow the audition, but in the fourth act, Kiff didn't Miss his lines, as he swamped a Gator. Ole Miss 34 - Florida 24

Goin' to a BoBo everybody, Goin' to a BoBo now. He's been slandered, libeled, called things that ain't in the Bible, but the game Mike Bobo called tonight and Smart's chops to go for it on 4th down and go with an onside kick after scoring with the game close in hand. WOW! Georgia 35 - Texas 10 - No Sark, your 3-loss Horns do not belong in the PO.

The refs did call penalties on Iowa this week. I guess USC is more B1G than we are...

A terrific comeback by SC when it could have folded. It's not like Iowa has an awesome offense, but after the first half, SC shut down the Iowa O. Perhaps Iowa was worn down by Oregon last Saturday, but SC on both LOS punched Iowa in the chops in the 2nd half. I did not want an 8-2 SC headed to Autzen with PO hopes. And with Notre Dame blowing out Pitt today and Illinois taking care of Maryland, SC's 2 road losses are not PO crippling. OBD opens at -7. It would be nice to get more guys out of the Duck MASH unit. I was surprised Iowa went away from the run, but not surprised that at home, SC's athletes shone. And in lousy weather, SC drew a crowd at the Coli. This will not be an easy out. This will be the second team with a Blue Chip roster Oregon will have played this season, and it hurts to say this, but SC is better coached than Penn State. OBD's other Blue Chip opponent, Penn State, defeated Michigan State today to score the Nittany Lions' first B1G and P4 win of the season. Throttle the Trojan Horse!

I’m nervous about this one. USC is going to be a heavy lift for the Ducks. OBD has struggled against teams with high-powered passing attacks. Hoping Dan Lanning has them prepared. Go Ducks!

DUCK? Heck of a comeback by SC. 8-2 SC will be playing for a PO spot next Saturday. DeBoer? 😁😁😁Your not OK.

I am thinking the very same thing.

That actually may hurt the Ducks, if we drop another game. I’m rooting against all of the teams with 2-loses.

Ugh. Here comes the SEC narrative. Who wants to bet that both Oklahoma and Alabama are in front of the Ducks on Tuesday? And if Texas beats Georgia? Get ready for the “6 teams deserve to get in” nonsense from the media talking heads.
