Flock Talk: The Beat Goes On

The Bye-Week Narrative

As always, attention shifts to perceived advantages. Penn State gets the luxury of a bye this week, while Oregon hosts a reeling Oregon State squad. The question practically writes itself: does the Nittany Lions’ off week give them an edge?

Oregon excited and ready for the week ahead in preperation for No. 2 Penn State

The Oregon Ducks will see a drastically different opponent this coming weekend as they travel to No. 2 Penn State. The Ducks say they're excited about the preparation that will come with the game.

Oregon opens as a slight underdog for road game at No. 2 Penn State

The Ducks will be an underdog for the first time this season when they travel to Penn State for a week five Top 10 matchup.

Penn State fans are already cocky, say White Out too intimidating for Ducks

Crowds give themselves too much credit. The truly intimidating thing about playing Penn State is that they are a great football team, as talented and experienced defensively as the Ohio State squad that rolled the Ducks 41-21 in the Rose Bowl.

If Lanning and the Ducks want to smash that narrative, they'll need a better plan and a better mindset for their third crack at a Jim Knowles defense. In a matchup of No. 6 at No. 2, execution matters way more than fan trash talk.

It's big. It's loud. It's a dramatic scene in a hallowed venue, so powerful that the broadcast crew goes silent as the music roars and the band dances.

Reminds me of last year when before the season started people were talking about if Oregon could adjust to BIG "play".

Well, going 9 - 0 in football and 7 other league championships later (the most in any conference we have been in), it seems we'll be ready for anything they want to throw at us.

It is not like we haven't played in big BIG games before. I think we are 3 - 0 in our last three trips to tosu (1) and Mich (2).

JUST SAYING

Instincts and circumstances led James Ferguson-Reynolds to tuck it on fake punt

Oregon's fake punt wasn't called, punter James Ferguson-Reynolds says. He read the OSU defense, took the ball and ran it.

They said the same thing the last time Oregon played Ohio State in the Shoe (and we had one arm tied behind our backs with Mario on the sideline).

Both very talented teams with a great home field advantage. Ducks will have to show up and execute at a very high level.

The game we have all had our calendars circled for is finally here.
