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.

    1. Herbert is NFL caliber. He is super accurate and fast.
    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.
