if you guys are really fucking lucky and there is an Allah, the Quooks will save him for going 8-5. That role reversal will be really bad.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

But maybe Helf figures the job out and keeps the rivalry fun (this is my LIFPO mantra) -
On paper Oregon will be favored by 10-14 but I'm not convinced we can't go in there and pull the upset. Last year that was Oregon's best performance of the year and the bounces went their way that game.
We will have a much better DL & DL depth. That is something we haven't had in a while. Oregon also has potential questions at WR and on defense having lost 6 starters. Notice I say potential. They've recruited well and good players are filling in.
Also factor in that we've gone from Sark against Chip to Pete against Helfrich. Helfrich appeared to lose his team after the Stanford game. They were not good the last several games of the regular season. What happens if they lose to UCLA the week before?
UW has the talent to play with Oregon, the players know that and with Petersen instead of Sark, they will believe they can win. That, along with the depth and experience on both lines will give them a reasonable chance, which is a huge upgrade from no chance in recent years.
Mariotta is probably the difference though. I think Oregon is vulnerable though. No Chip. Huge expectations. Nearly tanked last year after facing adversity. They are a Mariotta injury away from being a big disappointment. You could say that about any team's QB but Oregon has the biggest expectations of anyone and Mariotta may be more susceptible to injury than some of the other QB's. I do expect Oregon's OL and tailbacks to be very good though. -
I think there are still question marks about this year's UW team. For starters, I'm not sold on Miley Cyrus just yet. Also, this OL is still the OL that was (not) recruited by Sark. The defense should get better, but as long as we have a credible receiving threat (not 5*, all world, just credible) I think we will be able to stretch you out and create the seams that our offense needs to work.
This is Helfirch's show-or-go year, so either way it will be interesting. -

Disagree. It's been a really long time since any of us have seen what competency and planning can do behind the wheel of a hungry UW program. I think Oregon wins the game and the division but the biggest argument I've seen with them is "They're bringing everyone back. It'll be the same Oregon team as last year." That's interesting because aside from the UW game, I didn't like what I saw out of them for large stretches of the season. Also consider that if we are a run heavy team then Miles likely won't factor in as much (and I think he's being undersold anyways) as we'll be aiming for an early lead and burning clock.oregonblitzkrieg said:

I don't much like what I saw out of them either last year. Even with the blowouts, watching the sloppy play was excrutiating. If Helfrich and Frost haven't cleaned this shit up, it's the clearest sign that they need to go.haie said:

This is the nightmare scenario for all Quacks because we've seen what has happened when the Oregon machine fails to meet their own expectations ... they light themselves on fire and go down in flames.HeretoBeatmyChest said:
