Lots to shake out before next season even starts. Will Harbaugh still be at MI? Who's QB'ing at WA and Oregon? How will long distance travel affect the Ducks? Will the same staff be here next year? This was a magical season where all the pieces were there. Bo Nix's don't come along very often and made DL's life easier. I'm sure the Ducks will be in the thick of things next season but IMO it's going to be just as tough next year as it was this year. Will two losses get you a slot in the new 12 team CFP? I hope so.

And everyone elses.

I think we see a gutsy strong performance from Penix. This is the biggest game of the season for him and the fuskies. It's make or break. I would expect him to come out strong knowing what happened last game. He needs to get his throws in early. This game feels like it a 4th qtr game. Which QB is doing the best in the 4th wins it.

Honestly I'll be a little shocked if the Ducks beat wa by more than 10 pts. WA won't roll over in this game and will be playing their best game of the season. I still see this game tighter than the odds makers.

I have 38-24. Not as close as you but closer than most. Beavs are going to put up a good fight. A slow start by the Ducks and long drives by the beavis will keep the score close. Even if the Ducks score fast the beavis could control the clock so the Ducks only get a couple possessions a qtr. But yeah I'm really wishing for a 56-21 type game.

If he was so good then why didn't he transfer? What good QB wants to sit for 3 years waiting for 2 years of playing when they could start somewhere else? He either must really like it at Oregon or he lacks the confidence to transfer knowing he would struggle elsewhere He also seems to lack the killer instinct. He seems to just be going through the motions and not going 100%. That could be because the games already won and why bust your butt for nothing. Or it could mean that he knows it's not his turn yet and when it is he'll take it more serious. Not sure I like the latter attitude. As far the eye test goes he looks much more comfortable running the O, but he still makes me nervous. Can't really put my finger on it but something's lacking. We don't see practice and we don't hear coach/player conversations so there's no way to get a full picture of his ability. My guess is DL brings in another QB from the portal.

I wonder how much the beavis will have left in their tank after playing UW tonight. Such an emotional game for them. I'm not sold on if the Ducks win out they get to the CFP. Lots of football left at the top of the rankings. I almost wish the beavis would beat the fuskies just to knock them out of the CFP cause if we don't make it, I sure as heck don't want UW to make it. Worse yet, the beavis win the P12 conference game. Geesh what a way to end the P12 Conference.

49-24 Ducks 2 TO 4 Sacks 355 Passing

Anyone remember the Dennis Erickson Beav teams? The year they played ND in the Fiesta bowl and creamed ND they were known for getting a lot of penalties. 18 for 174 yards. It was just their style. Not saying it was good but playing on the edge penalty wise can have benefits. Would Oregon be as good on D if they let up and weren't as aggressive? As frustrating as the penalty situation is the Ducks have only lost one game so far and most would attribute that to not trying field goals on 4th and 1. While I don't like the stupid false start stuff or the occasional PI call (Right or wrong) I can live with it if they keep winning.

Absolutely no way Oregon losses this game. Unless, they have major injuries. Ducks need to go down to ASU and put the game away by the half or at least mid 3rd qtr. Stick the backups in so the starters can rest before the CW game. Lots on the line so no use risking injuries to key players.

Guess they need some $$$$ to pay for their stadium expansion that made it smaller.

Great time, but I hope we get the 1st string camera crew instead of the 3rd stringers we had last night.

Oregon 56-49 TO-1 Sacks-2 PY- 312

Oregon 42-17 2 TO 3 Sacks 295 PY

32-13 Ducks 3 TO 1 Sack 267 Passing yards

32-13 Ducks. I think the hog farmer gets his bacon burned.

Lose to UW and the beavs two years in a row and in the last year of the P12 in the CW? That would sting forever.

Game Day in UT Raucous crowd. Betting line 6.5 O/U 49.5 Kyle Whittingham Of the 3 remaining tough games this is the toughest because it's at UT. I think the Ducks will be held to under 30 pts for the 1st time this year. Expect a slow drug out low TOP game like Stanford and Shaw used to give us. Frustrating to watch. Tighten your seatbelts, could be in for a rough landing. .

41-20 Ducks 3 1 311

Back home at Autzen still ranked in the top 10 with a very real chance for the P12 meet up in Vegas the Ducks will take care of business handily. WSU has issues or they wouldn't of melted down the last two games. Although the Ducks lost they didn't melt down. UT is the game that has me worried.

Bittersweet to say the least.

Not sure a neutral site means anything since they beat us at home as well. Don't get me wrong I want a rematch as much as the next Duck fan. But so far the track record for DL against the Fuskies is not good. I bet he takes the points next time if given the opportunity. Yeah it's all hypothetical and speculation. But you gotta know when to hold em and when to fold em.

Good News: We could get a rematch in Vegas Bad News: we could get a rematch in Vegas.
