Oregon - Northwestern Pre-Game Reports, Interviews, Etc.
What do the Northwestern Wildcats do well on offense?Originally, Northwestern had a solid rushing attack with Cam Porter at running back, but he was ruled out for the season with an injury sustained in Week 2. Now, it will be interesting to see where the Wildcats go. Preston Stone is a decent QB who transferred in from SMU, but he had a terrible game in Week 1, throwing four first-half interceptions vs. Tulane. He righted the ship last week, but against a porous Western Illinois defense What should the Oregon Ducks expect from Northwestern Wildcats offense? What do the Northwestern Wildcats do well on defense?While we only have a couple of games to look at, the Wildcats have been pretty solid against the pass so far this year, giving up just 131 yards per game through the air. Contrarily, they've struggled to stop the run, allowing Tulane to rush for 269 yards in Week 1. They have some nice talent in the front seven, led by Anto Saka and Carmine Bastone, but we will see how they match up against Oregon's size in the trenches. What should the Oregon Ducks expect from Northwestern Wildcats defense?

Dan Lanning: "Business trip.” Interesting Conversation on Better Equity with Game Scheduling
Sounds like Oregon talked with the conference about better equity situation with game scheduling. I agree, the conference has placed Oregon with disadvantages more so than others in the conference.

It will be an interesting setup for the Ducks, with the game kicking off at noon ET and 9 a.m. PT for the players. On top of that, Northwestern is hosting games inside a temporary stadium that seats about 12,000 fans while Ryan Field undergoes a massive renovation. Despite all of that, the Ducks are still projected to dominate this game, favored by 27.5 points according to FanDuel Sportsbook. While they are regarded as one of the top teams in the nation, there are some questions about Northwestern. On defense, the Wildcats have been solid, giving up just 23 points to Tulane in a Week 1 loss, and then holding Western Illinois to seven points in a win last weekend. So what will we see on Saturday? Let's break it down. What should the Oregon Ducks expect from Northwestern Wildcats defense?

2025 BIG Info, Predictions, Etc. (10)
Tom Fornelli's College Football Power Ratings: Oregon climbs, Texas slides despite lopsided win 2 Oregon the Ducks jump all the way to No. 2 from No. 6 last week, largely because the gap wasn't that big to begin with. The 69-3 thrashing of Oklahoma State had something to do with it, but not directly. I docked the Ducks a bit in the offseason with questions about their offense without a 35-year-old veteran journeyman quarterback and some concerns up front. The injury to Evan Stewart didn't help, either. But through two games, this looks like the same old Oregon offense we've come to know -- something I can't say about many other teams in the country right now. Last week: 6 | National title odds: +1000 While Ohio State stayed on top, there was plenty of movement behind the Buckeyes this week

these rankings mean very little at this early stage, but it does provide a look at the balance of power after two weeks of play, and who we think could be in the mix when it comes to the postseason.

Oregon Marketing Theme Videos "2025"
Ducks vs Them | 2025 Oregon Football Game 2 | "Invested in Winning" Ducks vs Them, Oklahoma State released, and it's a bangerDan Lanning takes the podium at the Monday meeting. "What's the theme this week? Let It Rip." Lanning is at heart a teacher, the son of two teachers, with a gift for engaging his students. He asks senior linebacker Bryce Boettcher, "When you hear that, what do you think, Bryce?" "Bet I see his face Bryce is smiling. All the linebackers in the room are smiling right now. When I say 'let it rip,' what do you think, Bryce?" Bryce answers with a growl in his voice. "Just letting it rrrip, you know?' A few in the room chuckle. Lanning, again. "What's letting it rip, man? Not second guessing yourself. Just going for it." Lanning tells the players he wants them to trust their training and preparation, to play with abandon and purpose. The power point advances to an image of a bull coming out of the chute, trying to throw a cowboy. "The bull don't care," Lanning tells his team.

According to ESPN's Pete Thamel, Northwestern running back Cam Porter is being ruled out for the season after suffering an injury in last week's game against Western Illinois. Porter was the team's leading rusher through two games, carrying the ball 18 times for 137 yards and a touchdown. Northwestern Wildcats suffer major injury ahead of Oregon Ducks gam
