Duck 1972 No. 2 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Why is almost every predictor going with Cal and OSU as losses. OSU is at least an away game but Cal? What coolade are they drinking (or been smoking or mushrooms) I would think it would be BYU or Utah. But what do I know? Go Ducks Fly High.11/1 this year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Ducks Fly High.11/1 this year Because Mario seemed to choke up a loss agaisnt a team we should beat every year. Mario ball played not to lose, not win. So he ended up in games late he could have won long ago. Mario is a one-line minimum better on a penny slot type of guy. 2019 ASU 2020 Cal and OSU 2021 Stanford Seems like these guys feel projecting a bad loss is a safe bet. I think Lanning will change that on a dime this year. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pac10again No. 4 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I think Utah comes out of the South undefeated. May have a loss to Florida's athletes to start season. Games at hot, humid, Florida. But they will face Ducks without a Pac-12 loss, I think. Ducks lose to Georgia, at Georgia, by 17. BYU will test our defensive line. We win a nail biter. Then like Utah we go undefeated in conference play. We have an SEC coach, and SEC QB, and the #1 nationally ranked O line, along with a top five nationally ranked linebacker squad. Beat Utah and that resume will put us in playoffs against Bama. To optimistic? Maybe, but show me why. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Ducker1 No. 5 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I could see us losing to the Beavs or Cougs before losing to Cal at Autzen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandownbytheriverduck No. 6 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I don’t count the Ducks out in the ATL v Georgia. Veteran offensive line and QB, an abundance of skill, talent, and a new higher powered offense coupled with a experienced talented front seven and aggressive defense going against a talented but newly replaced and reshuffled Georgia defense while the offense comes out with several replacements on an offensive line that protects a shorter less mobile QB. I don’t see a 17.5 disparity in talent and having come off of a victory in Columbus don’t think many Ducks will feel intimidated. If the Duck coaches can coach the talent is there. If the Ducks manage a victory in Georgia anything is possible going forward. If not BYU looks awfully big. How many losses is unacceptable? 3,4? Am I spoiled AND delusional? Are we there yet? I have to go to the bathroom? How much loooonger? 99 bottles of 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave 7 more because they will come after us with same intensity as they would playing Alabama. (Maybe more). They will run baby run. I look to go down by two TD's quickly, then play them even the rest of the way. I agree they aren't 17.5 points better talent wise. On a neutral field, a year from now, it would be a toss-up IMO. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
