No. 4 Oregon at Northwestern Wildcats preview: Ducks prep...

The Ducks begin Big Ten play with a 9 a.m. game at the Wildcats.

Ducks started out slow last year and winded up running the table, being the conference champion. But I believe our Ducks can beat PSU.

CBS analyst Crawford predicts doom for the Ducks in 'harsh reality' forecast

Not so fast, my friend. The CBS Sports pundit is accurate generally but shoddy in the specifics. Penn State will be an imposing test, though a few paragraphs down he takes the Nittany Lions to task for their lackluster execution in two wins over cupcakes. For James Franklin and PSU, the harsh reality is, "

Alert this elite team the season has started."

Criticism is fair as long as it comes from a reasonable premise and it's based on facts.

At this early point of the season the Oregon Ducks have achieved something fans rarely see in college football.

"He’s an elite passer," Oregon offensive coordinator Will Stein told me when discussing Dante Moore in a recent phone conversation, "and there are certain things I can’t teach. God gave him the ability to throw the ball when he was born, and we try to capitalize on his skill sets with our passing game and with our approach every single game."

A preview of Oregon’s week 3 opponent in Evanston

The Oregon Ducks have been among the hottest teams in the nation so far this year, and while they have not played elite competition thus far, they've looked practically flawless in the eight quarters of football that we've seen thus far. Because of that, a lot of national buzz has started to come over the last week, following a 69-3 blowout over the Oklahoma State Cowboys.

Now they go on the road for the first time this season and kick off Big Ten Conference play with a game against the Northwestern Wildcats. It's another game that features a four-score point spread, and one that will have a different feel to it, thanks to the 9 a.m. PT kickoff and the fact that it will be played on a converted lacrosse stadium that seats 12,000 fans.

So far, we've broken down the matchup, looked at some major players to know for the opponent, and covered the injury news heading into Saturday. Now it's time to make some predictions.

To preview the game, we go through our weekly roundtable with the writers from Ducks Wire to offer our opinions and predictions for what's to come. Here’s our first roundtable of the year.
