look like our feet are stuck in concrete.

Sorry, but where's my thumbs down icon?

I don't know what that rule is anymore. Used to be that was PI every time. As long as they don't call it on us either I guess it's okay, but when you grab a guy's arm before the ball gets there, it's interference. Every time.

I lived in Oregon for all of 2 1/2 years and I'm sick over the demise of the PAC. I think it is ironic that this last year, the PAC is arguably as good as any conference in the country. As for UW fans, when I was in Portland most of my best friends were either UW fans or Beaver fans. I found both to be great fan bases, I gravitated to the Duck largely for style of play. I never really did like UW, though I still have good friends who are UW fans. I do still root for the Beavers when they aren't playing the ducks.

Yes, but the stats of the first game supported at least a 10 point Duck win, except for one, 4th down conversions. I think the stats this time are similar, without the need for 4th down conversions. But being nervous/excited when so much is on the line is not unusual. Anyone else having a little IBS.

Offense looking pretty good so far with Ty in.

This is insane. That is the best half of football I've seen anybody play in a long time.

Hay wait, FOX is messing with this mid-westerner's bed time too. Go Ducks, I'll watch as long as I can, but I have to work int he morning.

Late start is tough for us eastern Ducks. Especially those of us who work on Sunday, it's pretty much impossible.

I think it is a little harder to instill the want to is some 4-5* guys, but from the get go it seems to have been a focus of DL. Get better every day. Do something every day to become a better player. We heard it over an dover again and still do. Lanning lineage is from two programs that sign a lot of blue chip players and then make them better. He knows you aren't going to win against GA, Bama or OSU or Michigan in the B1G if the 4-5* guys aren't better as Sophs than freshmen and better as Juniors than sophs. Can he do it to the level of the Utes? That's a big task and maybe not necessary, but I'd sure like to see it.

Yeah, and I am not full of confidence either, though I picked the Ducks... Go Ducks!, Utah has just been finding ways to win. I expect it to be very competitive.

Good job PittDuck!

Friends in VA are very high on JMU not only this year, but in the future. They have been doing a slow build for some time and just getting better and better. They have done things the right way and it's paying off. They may not win every game, but I'd bet on this, they would get 4 sacks against any team in the PAC. The D is solid at any level. On the way they've won two NCs. There overall athletic department is solid, but it will be tough finding their way into a P conference any time soon. Harrisonburg, VA is not exactly a giant market and they are not quite close enough to DC be NOVA.

Unfortunately I had a previous commitment and didn't see the game live. Hope to catch a replay on PAC Network soon. Looking at the box score, if I hadn't seen the actual score of the game I would have thought Oregon won by 10. Oregon won every stat except the score. Stats can fool you. Missed field goal really hurt. I, like many others expect this won't be the last time the two teams meet. Hope things are different in Vegas.

The reason I'm pretty confident in this one is that Oregon's defense has been playing well recently and UW hasn't stopped anyone all year. UW gets some turn overs, but if Oregon takes care of the ball (with the most experienced QB in college football, a likelihood) UW doesn't stop UO's offense all game long. On the other side, UO stops UW often enough to make this a 2 or 3 score win. Both offenses are really good, but only one defense is. That defense is Oregon's. Go Ducks!

It's just the second year and maybe it's a little pre-mature, but I'm sure feeling like Oregon has a mighty big upgrade at HC from MC to DL.

Yeah, I think your "poor Dawgs" will be okay. Thanks for sharing the info. Good news for the Ducks! Hope UG gets the guy they want.

Yeah, JJ is a proven player, run stopper, pass rusher, and fully capable of covering tight ends or guys out of the back field. Start or not, he'll see the field in a hurry when he's in game shape.

Oregon, 52-10, 2, 6, 335
