No idea myself, but if I? were Duck I would fucking love Pedo and would take them in a heartbeat over a rematch with Buck or Indiana for what I assume are obvious reasons. Rematch with Buck would be a tougher game without question and the first team to beat Indiana is going to get the following response: "Yeah, we all knew they were shit all along."
Penn State is one of those names that reverberates. It's not completely disconnected from your Oregon uniform theory. Beating Penn State will always look like an accomplishment even if they're not that good (and I don't think they are). The further away from the game you get, the less people remember the specifics and all they have are the names of the teams in the game. 10 to 20 years from now, nobody is going to automatically remember that Pedo was overrated. Likewise, nobody is going to remember "that was a really good Indiana team!"
Hard to beat Buck twice. I'd want none of that if I were them.
Penn St feels like a matchup that Oregon isn't expecting similar to our team against Michigan last year, where all the sudden Gaybriel is getting locked down and they're getting their ass kicked physically in a 17-6 game. Just my opinion though. We'll see if PSU's offense is truly just ass this weekend.
Penn State always looks like ass against Ohio State. I would expect the same against Oregon. Michigan isn't a factor this year but they suck against good Michigan teams too
They don't look like ass against Washington type teams. This year's edition
I'm just never overwhelmed with PSU or Franklyn. I'll allow for the possibility that they're a tougher out than Indiana since we still don't really know who they are. Anyway, more clarity on the way.
If UW was in Oregon's situation this year I'd want the championship opponent…
Indiana - I think they're well coached and tough. Their raw talent is super suspect though and they could get easily simply outclassed. Probably learn a lot about them when they play Ohio State.
Penn State - Feel like their typical teams outside of when they had McSorley and Barkley. Franklin can't win big games and any good team that doesn't fuck up should beat them.
Ohio State - Easily the most talented of these teams and best at QB. Will be really hard to beat twice and beat them by one at home in a rabid Autzen with them flying across the country. Day continues to beat Franklin in the battles of who is the second-worst big game coach at a power school.
The doog in me tells me this UW team should get a game against a better team where things come together and they at least keep it close. This feels like a better chance than Oregon. I still don't see it though, especially since it's in Pennsylvania.
I know they had a backup quarterback, but they won by 14 points in a game where we straight up submitted a 10-14 point swing after driving it 70+ yards into their redzone..
If our defense stopped them 7 straight times or whatever it was at the end of the half, they probably won't do shit to OSU either.
They're going to lose in Columbus and the rematch in the BTCG is almost an inevitability.
Yeah, there is a big difference between covering on the road and winning on the road.
I think Huskies have a pretty good chance of covering because the OL and special teams have incrementally improved over the past month or so.
I am a little more optimistic today about an outright win after listening to an ANALyst on the radio who noted that Drew Allar looks the part but doesn't really play up to his measurables and his WR corp is pretty pedestrian. I'm looking forward to watching the game within the game between PSU's OC and Belichick to see if Belichick can slow down PSU's running game while containing Tyler Warren.

We want Penn St
Beat the B1G big 3 in season one.

As long as there is a Bruener on the field, there is hope.
I actually think Dwag will be competitive. Expectations are down now, coaches and players can relax their sphincters and nothing to lose.

The opinion of a fucking moron. herrrdurrr Orgon not fizkal. I thought you didn't think about Oregon at all!?!
Imagine squirting eggs like this.

disagree. They all suck.

I was wrong.
Duh. Ohio State will beat Oregon rather easily.
It's that superior UW education at work.
