It is that time of year again...isn't it great!

 

Hello My OBD FishDuck Forum Friends!

 

What is your prediction versus Portland State?  Take your shot and let's have fun with it...

 

Lets get these predictions started, and remember I look for the differential between your predicted points with both teams from the actual points.  I will use the tiebreaker information when needed, so provide all the data below! 

 

Entries without ALL the information are invalid, and predictions on other threads don't count.

Please follow directions, as I need all that is below for tiebreakers:
--the winner

--the score

--the amount of turnovers Oregon creates

--the number of sacks Oregon records on the opposing team

--the number of passing yards by the Ducks. 

 

My prediction is:  Oregon, 65-13, 3, 4, 278

 

Ducks 70-10 with 4 turnovers, 6 sacks, and 327 passing yards.

Oregon 56-20, 2, 4, 250

(Score & passing ydg lower due to playing time being given to 3 different QB's)

 

My preference would be to see Nix until Oregon safely ahead then Thompson the entire rest of the way.  We need to see what Thompson can or cannot do.  It's his 3rd year on campus.

Oregon 59-10

2 TOs

4 Sacks

265 passing yds

 

These modest numbers are predicated on lots of backups seeing 2nd half action and DL/Stein not opening the offensive playbook up too much. But also showcasing the new and improved defense, particularly edge play and secondary.

Vik's QB is pretty elusive from what I understand. Don't see a ton of sacs. Could see some throw aways though. 6 or 7 maybe. Possibly a couple grounding penalties 

Ducks

52-13

3 TOs

5 Sacks

392 Passing

Oregon

I kept it under 50 because it's Will Stein's first game and I think it'll take a little while for the players and new OC's play calling to mesh properly.

Ducks

63 - 7

Oddsmakers giving Oregon a 99% chance of winning.  Even they hold out for the possibility of a miracle happening.

I think Oregon establishes the run game and the running clock will not make for an offensive onslaught. I also thing that they get 14 points off of the turnovers with a short field.
