It's pretty much the same uniform they wore in the B1G CG. I know everybody expected them to break out the Ohana uniforms since they are selling that gear online for this game. However, they've already broken out the special event uniform for the year against Beavis. I'm not worried too much about black uniforms against a black clad crowd. It worked against Ohio State, but there was also enough red in the crowd to create a good amount of contrast.

USuC's offense is better than Indiana's by about 10 yards per game. However, their defense is worse by about 95 yards per game. When Oregon faced off against the two teams with top 10 defenses they averaged 19 PPG. When USuC played against two top 15 defenses they averaged about 23.5 points. The averages say that USuC will probably get 21-24 points in Autzen Stadium on Saturday. Oregon just has to score more than that against their 47th ranked defense. One more statistic. The best offense USuC has face all season in Notre Dame (18th). The next best is Michigan (40th). They also gave up 34 points to Illinois (69th ranked offense) on the road.

I think she's just talking specifically about the Penn State, Indiana and Iowa games. She's saying that Oregon hasn't shown the ability to slam the door in the 4th quarter while holding a one-score lead or a tie.

I think Franklin preferred to go to a school that appreciates him and understands he needs some time to get the football program where he wants it. It would be the exact opposite at the SEC schools. Virginia Tech probably said “We’re glad you’re here”. Whereas an SEC school would probably say “You’re lucky to be here”. Ole Miss has apparently told Kiffin him they need a decision by the time the Egg Bowl rolls around. It’s looking like he may jump back into the meat grinder of boosters, fans and admin who have zero patience. That may be a challenge he wants to overcome. I personally feel he’s more equipped to handle the pressure this time and I think he’s will be successful to a point. He may have some SEC championship game and playoff appearances and maybe even have some wins in those games.

I was not surprised by the defense. They only gave up 200 yards. I was surprised by the offensive output based on injuries at WR. I also heard Eugene was going to get a lot of rain based on weather reports earlier in the week, so I was also expecting a run-heavy offense like the last two games.

I always like the white helmets, but I think a yellow stripe down the middle would have matched the jerseys.

This article is just small piece of a larger narrative that the SEC and Notre Dame homers are pushing for their own playoff status. It’s a campaign to influence the playoff committee. The more they beat the drum about Oregon’s “weak” schedule the more everybody starts to believe it. They’re counting on Oregon losing one more game, so they can get them pushed out of the playoffs and replaced by a 3-loss SEC team. It makes it easier to justify Notre Dame’s spot. It’s also their way of making the B1G look like a weak conference. Want to see proof? Listen to the take from B1G alum Joey Galloway.

I know most people would just leave this site after receiving a response like this, but I’m not one to back down. If you can’t back this post up with examples then I officially call you out for being full of steer excrement (I’m being very polite). I provide accurate analysis. I rarely throw out opinions that aren’t backed up with fact. Hell, I was dead accurate about my analysis of today’s game. Oh, and BTW, I didn’t make one remark during the Oregon v Iowa Discussion Thread. We won by 2 points. A safety caused by a punter’s mistake.

Is it griping or “pondering”. I thought we were welcome to ponder without being berated.

I’m actually more worried about playing Minnesota than USuC or Fuskies. OBD is on short rest and they don’t know the Gophers like they do the other two teams. USuC is athletic, but a healthy Duck team can exploit their defense. The Fuskies showed their vulnerabilities against Wisconsin tonight, but I also think the Badgers are gaining confidence knowing that Fickell is coming back next season.

What part didn’t you like? Me saying that injuries have depleted our offense or that Minnesota has a chance of beating us at home coming off a bye week when we’re on short rest? I’m sure the Fuskies thought that they would “be OK for Wisconsin” today.

I hate to be Debbie Downer, but with no Bryant, Sadiq or Moore we are Iowa with a better punter. Now we get a short week against another team coming off a bye. I see a trap game against Minnesota. Our defense will soon buckle under the pressure of carrying the offense on their back. .

Herbstreit was darn near perfect in his prediction on College Gameday. He even had the fact that one team would have 15 points. However, he picked the wrong team to win. Oregon is definitely now a B1G team with that offensive performance.

Absolutely. It’s an “Iceman” game. Both teams will play ice cold and wait for the other to make a mistake.

Texas Tech tried to get a TD instead of a FG right before halftime inside BYU’s 10 yard line. They didn’t get it so it’s still 13-0. Let’s see if this comes back to bite them. Tech’s defense is awesome so I can see why they went for the TD.

Typical bye week hex. Defense will have to pitch a shutout. I don’t think the passing game was going to be really effective due to the weather, but now the threat isn’t even there if Sadiq sits out.

A few empty sections at Beaver Stadium and more Hoosiers fans in the stands than they’ve ever had. Happy Valley is very sad today.

Penn State fumbled on 3rd and long with a minute left. Indiana scored in two plays. 17-7 Indy.

I think DL will hold Dakorian out if he really is dinged up but can go. It’s going to be trench warfare due to the weather so he might be comfortable with McClellan taking his reps. I don’t know who would replace Harkey. My guess is Wilson.
