Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

I've got a good feeling about this game

    Not even many UO fans are picking Oregon against the spread but it remains at 21. So the money isn't moving. UW looks like a sucker bet. Oregon covers if they win but UW shocks the world and wins outright. If you think Oregon is going to win they are going to cover

    This made sense to me when I wrote it

    Yes, teams have been going after Olumu (CB, #14) with surprising success. I know he made a play against UCLA but he's undersized so I'd love to see Campbell or KW block him on an outside screen to Ross or Mickens.

    A TE screen to Darrell Daniels would be great to see too (or to Perkins, when he returns in the second half after his crime against humanity last weekend @ Cal).

    I think our defense will be able to hold them from completely running wild, but their defense isn't Cal bad. If we had a top notch running back like Sankey/Polk then I would feel very confident. Coleman/Washington just aren't good enough to be able to Stanford them out.


    Cal's defense is terrible against the pass. Statistically, they are better than Oregon against the run by almost a full yard per carry.

    We don't need Coleman and Washington to be Sankey or Polk. We need them to continue averaging around 4.4 to 4.5 yards per carry, setting up favorable down and distance situations for Miles, and creating just enough problems that Oregon's got to push up a safety so that Miles can work the play action game enough to find open throws in the intermediate to deep game. That's the exact playbook that Arizona used very successfully to beat Oregon.
    Find Ross.......

    The Race Bannon has visioned a Husky champions on ducks every year since we got the interwebs in Istanbul. This year will makes it 0-3, very nice.

    I think Fisher is the difference. If he was out you'd have to think UW's front 7 would have a big advantage.

    You wanna talk about money grabs, if UW wins this one, any of that 94 throwback shit will clean up on eBay.

    I figured they would donate all that stuff to hospitals in Dallas.

    That is a widespread misconception. It's true in the early days of the pod cast when we would proclaim UW had better talent but...Ty...but UW wins! By Sark we had abandoned all hope. Oregon's talent and coaching edge were too big and obvious. Oregon still has a far bigger talent edge than most Huskies posting here will admit. I thought the position breakdowns earlier this week were way out of whack. Oregon is better almost everywhere but coaching,

    Make no mistake, a Husky win would be a huge upset. But they happen every week
    Maybe under Chip, your beliefs about the talent gap would be true. From what I've seen, there isn't a large gap. I would take UW's roster over Oregon's excluding QB. There is also a huge gap at RB. UW has a substantially better front 7, the slightly better out of the dreckfest OL's.

    UW has played 1 decent game. And even in that game the offense was underwhelming. Caps defense is worse than Oregons. 21 points is the right betting line.

    Yeah, he's probably one of, if not the biggest, reasons Oregon is favored by 20.5.

    But I am thinking a lot of money betting tomorrow that his return and convincingly beating UCLA are worth a ton of points and I disagree. UCLA's offense has talent but their OL is bad and that has really slowed them against decent defenses. UCLA's D also has talent but they are highly average this year with a 1st year DC (1st year ever, not just as UCLA) and losing Anthony Barr and Cassius Marsh from last year's D.

    I think Fisher is the difference. If he was out you'd have to think UW's front 7 would have a big advantage.

    I'd like this to be true but I have to see it. Oregon has out recruited UW for some time now. They are deeper and we don't have a bell cow on the O line like Fisher. Petersen is the game changer for sure, but this year? We will see
