Oregon Ducks open as three-score favorites over Minnesota Golden Gophers

It was a sloppy, rainy game that saw multiple turnovers and offensive mishaps, but in the end Oregon still got the win. They faced one of the better teams in the country in Iowa, but they will have a bit of a reprieve this week against the Minnesota Golden Gophers

Big Ten schedulers don't seem to want Oregon to repeat, or even succeed

After a gritty win against Iowa the Ducks have to play 6-3 Minnesota on Friday night with the Gophers coming off a bye.

Oregon beat Iowa 18-16, marching 54 yards in the last two minutes, Atticus Sappington drilling a 36-yard field goal in swirling winds and driving rain with :07 to play.

They beat the No. 20 Hawkeyes in Kinnick Stadium but the Big Ten schedulers don't seem to think that's enough. Now 8-1, the Ducks play in six days. Minnesota enjoys a full 14 days to prepare, having last played at home November 1st against Michigan State, a game they won 23-20 in overtime.

That's absurd scheduling that handicaps the defending conference champions. You couldn't hand P.J. Fleck's team a bigger scheduling advantage, unless the game was moved to Bloomington.

Oregon Ducks’ three keys to victory against Minnesota Golden Gophers

If there’s one thing we know for sure about the Oregon Ducks, it’s the fact that they can win games in a wide variety of ways. We’ve seen them win a shootout against the Penn State Nittany Lions earlier in the year, who were still one of the best teams in the nation at the time.

We’ve also seen them win lopsided blowouts against unranked teams and gritty, low-scoring games against others. Whenever you feel like you’ve gotten a beat on this Ducks team, they manage to throw you for a loop and do the opposite of what you’re expecting.

Sure, they would have loved to be 9-0 and have easy wins in each game, but their many paths to victory could ultimately be more fruitful in the long run. Here is what Oregon needs to do this week to continue their winning ways against a talented Minnesota Golden Gophers team.
