The Ducks are massive favorites on the road against Colorado next week. It feels like a spot where they want to dominate the Buffaloes from start to finish.

8 games in, Oregon's offensive line has allowed just 1 sack. Clearly the least amount of sacks allowed by one team this year. Credit to Kenny Dillingham. Credit to Bo Nix. BIG credit to the 5 (sometimes 6) up front.

Keanu Williams filling in nicely for injured Taki Taimani

 

Williams may have had meager results in the box score (finishing with a single pass breakup),

but was regularly in the backfield bothering Cal quarterback Jack Plummer.

 

"I think he did some really good things. He's continued to grow as a player and when his number was called,

he was ready to go out there and play at a high level," Oregon head coach Dan Lanning said of Williams on Monday.

What would be nice to see is the Ducks get up big early, say 30 pts by the end of the 3rd.  Then It'd be nice to see Thompson come in and get a whole qtr to see if he's half as good as the Arizona red-shirt Frosh CAL has on their team.  That kid (Kai Milner) looks like a future star and he came out of school as a 4-star - unlike Thompson's 5.

Oregon could very well be at 45+ by end of 3rd quarter. I wouldn't let off the gas till I had a 30+ point lead or start of 4Q, which ever comes later.

In the high mountain air of Boulder - something tells me this game will be closer than the oddsmakers think.  I'd even be cautious taking the pts (-30.5) on this one.  Three starters (at least) out for the game and on the road.  I'd hazard a guess of 45-20 and be very happy to see that.

Injury Report: Updated news for Oregon Ducks ahead of game at Colorado

 

the Ducks might be without a few of their more important guys this weekend. A few starters were missing from both days

of practice sessions that were open to media members this week, and others are not quite ready to return, as of yet.

 

With a tough stretch of games ahead, kicked off by Washington coming to Autzen Stadium on Nov. 12, Oregon wants to make

sure it comes home as healthy as possible, and of course, with a win, before the rival Huskies come calling

CU Buffs may have an advantage over Oregon in this area

 

We went behind enemy lines this week with Ducks Wire writer Don Smalley and he mentioned

that Oregon’s kick coverage hasn’t been stellar this season.

 

With Nikko Reed averaging 27.8 yards per kick return and Jordyn Tyson averaging 32.8 yards on his four punt returns,

including an 88-yard touchdown last week, the Buffs could excel in this area against Oregon.
