    The only "blueprint" to beating Oregon is to have a Top-5 team and play better than they do on a given day. They don't lose enough to anyone consistently enough to simply say "here's all it takes".

    Disagree. RoadDawg is right. The key is to control the line of scrimmage. Nothing earth shattering.
    Oregon has at least two game changers
    if only Oregon had 2-Win Ross.

    GAME OVER

    I was hoping to learn more about Oregon tomorrow night, when they play Stanford. Unfortunately, the Baylor - Oklahoma game kicks off prior, so I'll probably miss it.
    Seriously, everyone has been talking about how Stanford has figured out the Ducks. Thursday's result will go a long way towards proving whether that's universally true or not.

    The fuck?

    You only have one channel?
    LOL. No, just goofing around. It does truly suck that 2 of the best games of the season are on at practically the same time on a Thursday night.

    It's not even a fucking contest for me.

    The Big 12 is a joke.

    Now if LSU and Alabama were slugging it out Thursday night ... yeah ... I would be confused on what to watch.

    I don't see Baylor and OU being much of a game ... either Baylor gets exposed ... or they are going to light some shit up.
  • A couple of things RE: Bama vs Oregon. Remember Bama was up 35-14 and 42-21 on A & M going into the 4th quarter. Also you can't say "Do you think A & M is better than Oregon? " because Manziel is the only QB to do well against a Saban led defense in the last two years.

    Another point, that game was the 2nd game of the year and on the road. Good coached teams become better as the season goes on. Not everyone is like Washington where they peak 2nd game into the season.

    In championship games the little things matter. Oregon ranks 119th in penalties per game while Alabama ranks 33rd in penalties per game. Oregon can get away with that against the terrible teams they have been playing against but that will cost them against Bama.

    Also with a month to prepare are you taking a first year head coach or a guy who has already won 4 BCS national title games? I don't think Oregon would even score in the 30's on Bama.

    I would go Bama 34, Oregon 24 as my final score. Oregon is no push over but to ignore history is just silly.

    Pretty much this. If they played during the regular season after no byes I'd take UO by 7. If both were coming off a bye I'd take Bama by 3. If both have a month to prepare, the Tide will role.

    Oregon-Stanford is not going to be a good game. #plungerrape

    There's only one meaningful game left to play in the Pac 12, UCLA-ASU and that's just for the honor of receiving another ass raping by the Ducks.
    I think if anyone from the Pac 12 has a chance to beat Oregon, it's ASU. ASU looks to have gotten much better as the season has rolled along.

    Its just the opposite. Bama had a bye before A&M and had played them last year. They still got worked again, even worse. The last 6 weeks have been against standard competition.

    Marriot is as good as Johnny Football and just the kind of guy that gives Bama fits.

    Its the Oregon defense that will tell the tale. A&M scored 42 but gave up 49. Oregon has a better defense than A&M. And as good of an offense.

    Who the fuck has Oregon played to prove your points?

    Maybe they have. Need to see them against UCLA. Seeing how if ASU is for real is what makes that an interesting game.

    A&M has been giving up massive yards and points to the same type of teams Oregon has been shutting down. Watch a game sometime

    Oregon has struggled every time they have played a dominant SEC team. How is this year going to be any different?

    Just so we're clear here "every time" = twice.

    That's a pretty small sample size to declare the SEC has some sort of magical Oregon stopping powers.

    LIFPO.

  • Did Race really just bring up Tennessee in a serious way?

    Do you think Alabama would only be leading UW by 7 points heading into the 4th or tied with UCLA midway through the third? Because I don't believe they would.

    disagree

    Scum Devils are solid, but 49 out of 50 times, they lose to Oregon. They aren't there yet talent wise.

    Oregon is much better. I just think if anyone possibly upsets the Ducks, it's ASU. Stanford will get blown out tonight and UCLA or USC have no chance in the conference title game. ASU is the best bet, although it is still very unlikely.

    I don't even think the game will be that close when they play. There's not one spot where Oregon is substantially better at. Maybe QB, but McCarron is a smart, accurate QB who has already won two championships. I will LIFPO, but I don't get where anyone is getting that Oregon is all of a sudden better than Alabama. Maybe you guys are just getting tired of Alabama being dominant.

    I'm not tired of Alabama being dominate, I just understand that aTm gives them a fight with a QB similar to Marriott, but ... aTm does not have Marriott's supporting cast.

    The pressure is on Alabama ... not Oregon.
