(From the Fabulous FishDuck Feed) No love for the Ducks: CBS Sports analysts unanimous in Oregon-BYU picks SATURDAYOUTWEST.COM Oregon hosts BYU on Saturday. A panel of analysts for CBS Sports thinks it's a pretty easy game to pick. Well...what can people expect? Rick Neuheisel, for one. Sorry if this offends anyone here but RN is a 1st-class jerk. And what are 'analyst's gonna say about Oregon after a loss like 49-3 to Georgia? But... they may have a point here. BYU is a team built to beat a team like the Ducks, they travel well and are absolutely not intimidated. by O They're the older, more mature team and well- balanced. I'm (sadly) picking BYU 31-24. Oregon learns more about where they are and where thy need to go to get better. Edited September 15, 2022 by Mic 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Log Haulin No. 3 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I think the only thing holding Oregon back at this point is knowing the scheme and being able to react without thinking. Thats going to take a sec. They definitely have the talent to beat BYU. Intensity, speed, reaction time, and explosiveness has been lacking. You could see it in the eastern game. Having to think causes pause. Ducks will get there. Hopefully by Saturday. Probably more like late Oct early Nov. Just in time to wreak the Utes, Beavs, and Trojans. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalBear95 No. 5 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I’m glad this is their take. If the Ducks win then they ‘over performed’ which feeds a narrative of the team ‘getting better’ and that ‘nobody wants to play.’ That said, their comments about the past three games is proof positive these guys are just tossing out cool sounding data but have zero clue how to read it. The team changed coaches so why do the first two games have any bearing on what the Ducks will do this year? Also consider the second of these three games was after the coach left and they have a totally different QB. Lastly, maybe a young team playing the best team in the country at their place in their first game of the year using a totally new scheme may not be the best way to gauge performance for a team that clearly bounced back. Maybe BYU wins but it won’t be because their ‘past three games’ stat had any predictive value in that outcome 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

debbieduck No. 7 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) Our lineman have been here for awhile. They have lived through some bad losses. I am more concerned what another loss to a good team will do mentally to our offensive lineman? I think in that regard this game may set the tone for the rest of the season.
