Georgia is in a big game today with Old Miss what happens to the rankings if Georgia loses? Two 9-1 SEC teams with a win over the Dogs Old Miss would more than likely be the top of the one loss teams. The more one loss teams the crazier this thing is going to get. If Washington loses they're going to drop back to 9 or further. Michigan could get bounced out of the top 10 if they lose badly to Penn. Then there's a 9-1 Penn State in the mix but they probably will not jump in front of the ducks in the polls. hold on to your hats gentlemen. It's just starting to get fun!

USC wins the most overrated team of the year again. LOL

He got burnt on a few and was lucky he had help. I liked the kid a lot but he's still young and makes mistakes also he gets picked on especially when he's on bigger receivers. Bridges is just a bigger guy who seams to stand up to the 6'5" receives a bit better.

T. Johnson! Looking good today.

At least he's in position to make the tackle but he gave up 3 passes on the drive before the end of the half

Florence is getting worked. I'd like to see Bridges get a shot as he looked good against Washington.

Husky hangover.

He only needed to make one of those chip shots and if Dan new something he should put someone else in there.

My question to Dan is what do championship team do? They take the points at halftime and go into the locker room with the momentum. When your down 2 scores instead of 1 it feels like you have to go for it, if your only down 8 you kick the field goal and that puts you in a game winning situation next drive. This is what Sabin would do. Game management is what separates the men from the boys and the champs from the runner-up. I get the impulse to want to go for the big points in a shootout but this game is the textbook example of why you take the points. Let's say you do want to go for it on 4th and goal and your QB just threw one in the dirt on 3rd down, don't you at least handed it off to James who is almost automatic from 3 yards?

He lost games due to the same exact thing.

This is why you always take the points

Of all the things the PAC refs scares me the most. At least we're past Stanford.

Oregon is even spending good money at ESPN with the Bodacious adds, come on show us the Love. ESPN just really hates Oregon, more than most channels, likely because we're one of their biggest viewership losses next year. Why promote a team that you aren't make money off. They halve to promote USC with the potential two-time Heisman winner.

My favorite stat of them all. This is what separates the men from the boys. The vast improved of the D from last year is really sumed up in that stat. Last year's D where in the right place allot of the time but just couldn't finish. I'm sure one of the coaches on here could comment further on angles, technique and positioning that had improved, future article wink wink.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Ducks win this one by 21. They're going to be very hard to stop on offense as the mutts are 65th in total defense nationally and 8th in the PAC. Meanwhile the Ducks are 8th nationally and 1st in the PAC in defending the pass. Oregon is going to get some stops where the Mutts D is going to have a tough go of it. The only thing that has stop the Ducks are the Ducks. Ball control and clean football will be the keys to the game. I know stats are deceiving but the eyeball test is telling me that their Defense is nowhere near as good as ours and our offense is more balanced and just as dangerous. Yes I'm wearing duck pond green colored glasses today.

According to cfbstats.com Oregon is now at #7 in the nation in total defense, allowing only 153.6 yard a game! Oregon is also #2 in total offense in the nation, averaging 557.8 yard a game! Oregon is the only team in the nation in the top 10 in both of those categories! I'm a believer!

Very undisciplined football.

Colorado is running the ball on the USC D, just wait till the see the Ducks running game.

17-10 Utah

This is going to be good for recruiting. Oregon played a perfect half of football in front of 12.6 million people!

I feel the same way, Oregon should cover but if coach Prime comes up with a great game plan this could come down to the wire and a one score game. The other thing that could go wrong is Oregon gets way too many penalties.

We could certainly use a few more good pitchers, hope these guys are them.

Great point, they do have that feeling of being scrappy and Sanders is that kind of QB that wills pas to happen. Although Adams was much better at throwing on the run, he could throw a perfect 35 yard lob while backpedaling. Never underestimate your opponent. That being said the Ducks have the ability to put this team away early and just keep rolling to the end. If they don't it will be because of penalties and just dumb mistakes.

Even better than him getting the start is that his only stat was 1 tackle, which I believe he made in run support. I can't even remember them throwing the ball in his general direction. It's been a little while since the Ducks have had a lockdown corner. I really hope he's the next one in long line of great Oregon corners.

I really hope that we get back to that strategy. The most exciting, entertaining, and down right fun games ever where during the CK days. This game plan is also recommended by all of our cardiologists.
