Oregon 48-31 2 2 325

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

Pretty quickly, when the punter jumped for a ball that wasn't there.

Just watched the replay of the Cal UW game. I'm actually not that impressed. Outside of a few big plays to start the game (both of which should have been called back) spotting the pups a 14-0 lead it was a fairly close game. If the Cal QB hadn't had a propensity to throw the ball to Washington defenders Cal may have won.

It will be quite an accomplishment for anyone to run the table in the PAC this year, even 1 loss will be a terrific season for anyone who does it. But we see how there is already a bias against the conference. Who could watch FSU the last two weeks and rank them ahead of UW or UO? I wouldn't put Penn St. ahead of them either. And Ohio St. hasn't been that impressive either. But here we are, 4 top ten teams, but ranked 7-10. I'm hoping a 1 loss team gets into the playoffs and that it is Oregon, but it will be interesting to see the playoff rankings when they come out. I still find it a great irony that in the last year of the PAC it just might be the best conference in the country.

I think the Ducks cover or at least come close. Buffs are not sneaking up on anyone now for one. The last two weeks their competition has not been great and they have not exactly smoked teams they should have. While they have some dynamic play makers, Oregon is a step up on a talent level that I'm not sure Colorado is ready for. That will lead to mistakes and they already made plenty against CSU. If Oregon takes advantage of those mistakes it could get ugly, early. I also don't think they have faced an offense with the combination of ability to pound you with the run and explosive passing game that Oregon has. But honestly every offense they have played against so far has looked explosive, maybe a comment on the Colorado defense.

Yeah, if an alien arrived here and watched college football knowing nothing else but how the teams were playing, would they believe that the PAC is the conference that is in its last season? It's not much of a stretch now to say the PAC is the best football conference in the country this year. How ironic.

Am I being too critical, I know we scored 24 in the first quarter, but it seems a lot of the offense is dink and dunk, nickel and dime. It's like we're trying to take 3 or 4 downs to get a first down. Of course then we pull off a 40 yard pass or 20 yard run. Never mind.

Bulletin board material, sure. Making a big difference in how the game plays out, no. This statement was about the CO past. A lot of those players aren't around anymore. Lots of new guys, who are looking pretty good so far. Sanders and these players realize that what Lanning said was true. I count (not very hard) one winning season since 2011. This is a feast for the fans though! If Colorado were to pull off the upset? Oh my! Lanning, but even more so Duck fans, would never hear the end of it. Well at least not until next year when the two teams probably don't play each other for a while.

Oregon 65 Hawaii 13 3 TOs 6 sacks 312 passing (340 rushing)

yeah, most of the responses to this tweet are laughing faces and he hasn't responded. I can certainly understand the MSU guys being impressed with DL, but he is totally out of his mind with the idea that MSU has greater resources to work with that would 10X DL's effectiveness. Guy's a crackpot.

Ducks 45-24 3 TOs 1 Sack Many more pressures 272 passing yards (255 rushing as ducks continue a balanced attack)

Yes, obvious MVP of the game, the Duck! What a performance!

Yeah, I missed a few things I wanted to see because of that, but on the good side, I'm watching the Ducks now on the PAC channel when it isn't part of my package. Shhh....

So far Ty is looking like he belongs. Give him some run with top weapons before going 2nd and 3rd string guys with him.

Yeah, you don't need to run Bo in this one, so don't risk it. We don't need to run him much later either, just enough that the defense has to be aware of it.

Poor Duck, the mascot trainer (I guess) asked (at least reading her lips), "Are you okay?" And it's just the first half. After the touch down drive by PSU early I was a little concerned with the defense, not that the Ducks would win, but that kind of defense is going to give up a lot of points against most PAC teams. But they settled down. I know the competition is not great, but laying 50 on someone in a half is impressive anyway. Now get a lot of play for those down on the depth chart, get them some experience.

How about BOciferous? More toward the general idea of the thread. How ironic would it be if a PAC Team (hopefully the Ducks) won the NC in the last year of the conference? Maybe in football and basketball.

yeah, I know you can't judge a conference by one half of football, but the first half of Minnesota and Nebraska is horrible. If this is B1G football, the B now stands for BORING. I know this is not the top of the conference, but even the mediocre teams in the PAC are much more exciting to watch than this.
