Santa Rosa Duck

Most of us will watch the game on our local CBS Network channel but there is another option. CBS will be streaming this game on their Paramount Network. My system at home is a high end LG OLED TV receiving most channels through DISH. I also have fast internet and I have been streaming college games through Paramount and Peacock and doing back to back comparisons. On my system with fast internet and high quality TV, the streaming picture is significantly better than CBS through DISH and the difference is easy to see. GO DUCKS!

On Monday, I have to meet with my business partner who is as avid a Texas Longhorn as I am an Oregon Duck. I told him after the Saturday Longhorn debacle that I have the ability to make him an honorary Oregon DUCK and I might throw in my Phil Knight bobblehead as well. What will his answer be???

Unfortunately we are ranked #17 out of the 18 Big Ten Universities academically by the latest US News and World Report. I am very happy to have my degree from The University of Oregon. I almost went to USC. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2025/10/04/big-ten-us-news-academic-ranking-2026/86513586007/#

UCLA is curb stomping Penn State 27-7 at the half.

I just wish to say "Indiana Hoosiers, welcome to Autzen Stadium".

Might we see College Game Day in Eugene?

Charles, you are on a roll! Thank you

I think we may have a new #1 running back.

After our last two big games against TOSU and Penn State, my guess is our talent is there and Dan Lanning will have our DUCKS better prepared this year. I think the big mismatch will be Drew Aller vs Dante Moore. I would guess we will try to get Drew Aller rattled early. My pure fan based guess is also that Austin Novosad is better than Drew Aller as well should his services be required (hopefully not).

Here is Hythology's analysis of Penn State from Addicted to Quack. He is very good and this is very detailed. Addicted To QuackDuck Tape: Film Analysis of Penn State Football 2025A preview of Oregon’s week 5 opponent in State College

Health first my friend. At least you will have the big screen to yell at. GO DUCKS!

I like our DUCKS in this matchup. We can throw and run in a balanced way. Penn State will have a good running game but what about passing? Drew Aller IMHO is prone to making mistakes. He should have gotten down at Autzen and given them a chance for a field goal. Most importantly, he has three new wide receivers and his go to receiver from last year was tight end Tyler Warren who is now gone. DUCKS not only cover but win this game.

It's not Aller I am worried about. I worry about Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen bringing a sledge hammer to our run defense.
