Thank you for the stats on this. IMO, this shows that Penn St. isn't invulnerable in this environment, but the Ducks definitely have their work cut out for them.

Great post and topic! This will be the toughest that I can remember. I believe the Michigan / Tennessee matchups you mentioned earlier could be considered on par in terms of stadium capacity and number of fans, but the mystique about the "White Out"--plus the ranking of both teams--puts it over the top for me. I personally think the outcome of the game is irrelevant to the environment. The environment is the environment until you overcome it, or succumb to it. So excited (and nervous) for this game!

Oregon to continue to lean into its 'strength in numbers' as Top 10 matchup looms Oregon coach Dan Lanning said on Monday that the Ducks will continue to rotate and play a large number of players in this week's game with No 2 Penn State.

Do you guys realize why PAC12 after dark games always were crazy is because strange things happen when you are playing your heart out physically around your usual bedtime. Mental and emotional regulation drops. These players don't have the luxury of staying up late like most students. To physically recovery at a elite level requires a good night sleep. Like 8.5 hours plus, and with full schedules they can't sleep in, so they have to go to bed at a reasonable hour. Oregon doesn't have to adjust to the new time zone. Go in your hotel room after sunset and stay up until your usual time. Let 7:30 feel like 4:30 for the game start, and then you don't have any reverse jet lag on the way back.

Oregon ever played that far east at night? Last season the Ducks kickoff at Purdue was 8:00 pm local. This week Penn State is 7:30 pm local. Both are in the Eastern Time Zone. Though PSU is approx 500 miles east of Purdue. Longest surface travel trip? Miami, likely followed by a game at Army, as the two longest trips. Both games in the afternoon. Miami was a 2-0 loss. Yes, a safety. Army was a 22-22 tie. Ducks at Maryland in 2027, and back to Penn St in 2028.

Interesting list that has zero old guard B1G teams that aren’t tOSU or a team with a new coach. I’d flip some of the conversations circulating in the world and start taking a look at our pass defense efficiency. Hasn’t our goal always been to make teams one dimensional? Our pass defense has been so good teams getting blown out that should be airing it out have been unwilling or unable to do so. I believe Beavis threw for almost 300 against a very good Texas Tech on the road a week before us, but only managed 80 yards at Autzen on 7/22 passing. Give me a one dimensional, caveman football team to defend any day of the week!

And they have played Nevada, FIU and Villinova. I'm not saying that we have played great competition to date but we have certainly played better competition and better athletes. Montana State may be FCS but they played a disciplined game. They are 2-2 right now with their only losses being to FBS teams. Oklahoma State is bad but they have some larger players on the line of scrimmage. But they are still very bad. Northwestern is a Big Ten team though not a top tier Big Ten team. They have some bigger linemen some play makers but not a great team but I think they will surprise someone this season. Oregon State is also bad but they are improving week-on-week... kinda. But they could probably beat Villinova at football and probably Nevada. They should have beaten Fresno State but they couldn't manage to figure out special teams. They are a G6 team for sure. Both teams have padded the stats a bit for sure but we have played slightly better opponents than Penn State to date.

Agreed. And evidently Penn St has been toying with outside runs instead of between the tackles during their first three games, so stats may be misleading.
