1. Herbert is good. Maybe great. Who knows? Has zero wins against any teams of consequence, but is super accurate and fast. He's what doogs think Locker was.
2. Oregon played, according to S&P, the worst OOC schedule in the history of the FBS. Stanford has been exposed. Likewise Cal. Embarrassing levels of bad.
3. Every intangible favors Oregon. Home game. Bye week rest. Revenge (lol). UW is beaten up and missing multiple key starters, Gaskin is hobbled, and Browning is QB

Oregon is likely somewhere between mediocre and mildly decent, with a porous secondary, but no one really knows.

No idea how this game shakes out. Reading too much into a sleepwalk performance against UCLA is dumb.

    This is the best football talk I've seen here in ages.

    Kudos.

    They will attack the middle of the UW defense, and encourage Herbert to take off routinely.

    On defense they will blitz the fuck out of browning.

    2. Oregon played a bad 2018 OOC schedule due to the SEC backing out of a game. Stanford has lost their superstar Bryce Love.

    Oregon is likely somewhere between very good and top 10, but no one really knows.

    FIFY to remove the dooginess and better reflect reality.

    It will come down to whether UW can keep Hollins and Jelks away from Browning.

    Good luck stopping UO's run game. We have a fresh stable of explosive backs, expect Verdell and Dye to have a big game, along with a balanced passing attack by Herbert. Would expect we concentrate on the run game though for this one.

    PM to @oregonblitzkrieg:

    Bryce Love (RIP) didn't play defense.

    He carried that team and it really shows whenever Costello has a bad game.

    Comparing a group of young black men to a stable of workhorses? Racist piece of shit.
    Are you saying that all horses are black? Some horses are white and some are brown.

    Will concentrate on the run game for sure because UW has a good secondary, if we run into trouble there, look for Herbert and Mitchell to carve up the field and soften the husky defense up.

    I'm saying you view black men as animals used to do your dirty work.

    Way to contradict yourself.

    This game is going to come down to Oregon establishing the run and then mixing in some play action to catch the secondary cheating. If Oregon can’t establish the run, it’s going to be a long day in Eugene.

    I think the ducks do establish it and win close. 27-24

    Mark Emmert and I shared a good laugh together after reading your post.

    UW doesn’t seem to have a great pass rush. Oregon is great in pass pro. I could see Oregon putting together a passing attack.

    Not to boast or anything, but I've got a 65-70% win ratio of picking teams on Saturday over the last two years. Said the Stanford game would come down to less than a touchdown, that we would beat a ranked Cal team on the road by 2-4 TDs.

    My call for this game hasn't changed. We establish the run vs UW and win by a margin of 1-2 touchdowns imo. Very different from last year, when I picked UW to win rather easily.

    UW certainly hasn’t looked all world against the run.

    65-70% at Picking games straight up in cfb, where teams are often favored by more than a td, is actually pretty fucking awful.
    Do you make picks in the Pick Em thread? No? Nothing you say on this topic has any value.

    Sounds like an obscure baseball statistic.
