Mariota is a 57% passer & DAT is probably out

I like to assume all sprained ankles are created equalHeretoBeatmyChest said:Sprained ankles take 4-6 weeks to recover from. Trufant had one last year and he was back in two weeks but not very good against WSU.
Seen leaving practice doesn't mean anything. Of course he has to practice to see how it is.
Even if DAT plays, odds of him being 100% are very low.

Shelton and the Defensive Tackles need to be huge so Oregon must double team them. That keeps their offensive line from getting to the second level and then our linebackers can run free to make tackles.

It depends on how badly DAT's ankle was sprained. He didn't play last week because he didn't have to. He sat out the Cal game after he sprained his ankle on the opening kick, and the next week against Colorado. Nobody really knows how badly he sprained it.
I hope DAT is hampered by it, but he may be just fine. Even at 80% he is still an incredible player. I do agree about Marshall and Tyner not being anywhere close to as good as James and Barner. I'm not really worried about any RB but DAT. That said, even without Thomas, they have some dangerous playmakers. Mariota may be only hitting 57% of his passes, but he is averaging 10.13 yards per attempt, which is sensational. He also has not thrown an INT, and he is a fast motherfucker who can break a long run at any time. He's a hell of a player, and by far, the best QB we have faced so far this year.
Josh Huff and Bralon Addison are two great playmakers at WR. Special teams is another concern because Oregon has a couple of guys who are big time returners and last week showed that we are still prone to giving up big returns.
I know it is cliché, but there is no way we beat these guys unless we force multiple turnovers. I think the crowd will play a factor and help keep us in the game, but at this point, it is a stretch to say we will beat Oregon. I'm fucking pumped for the game though. -

DAT will be fine running straight ahead untouched 97 yards with the opening kick off
You made the assumption we kick it to the goal line. -
Van Winkle kicks three yards farther on turf than grass, especially because Montlake is a lot further north than Palo Alto.HeretoBeatmyChest said:RaceBannon said:DAT will be fine running straight ahead untouched 97 yards with the opening kick off

Just dont' know how you come to this conclusion. Tyner is a true freshman and has shredded teams in very limited duty. Both of those guys are very good backs. I might - might - give you James, but Barner, good as he was, benefited from an open field. Both Marshal and Tyner are more powerful runners than either James or Barner, and both are faster.RoadDawg55 said:I do agree about Marshall and Tyner not being anywhere close to as good as James and Barner.

And Thomas, at 80%, would be a COMPLETELY different player. He earns his bacon by cutting hard and often at full speed - something most people can't do. When you roll your ankle, you are vulnerable in precisely the last place you can afford to be vulnerable -the outside of your ankle.
I have no idea how bad the injury is - only he knows that. But if he's less than 100%, it will show big time. I remember when Santana Moss rolled his ankle the week before Miami came here to play UW, and he was a shell of himself. Same type of player - small, very fast and a hard cutter.

I WANNA DIP MY BALLS IN IT!!!! -
Sorry, but James and Barner were much better than Marshall and Tyner are at this moment. Tyner and Marshall might get there, but Tyner running wild on a couple of sub par teams in limited action doesn't really mean that much. Marshall is good, but I still think the old guys were better. I know Tyner is a really fast guy, but Marshall does not look nearly as fast as James or Barner. James and Barner did it week in and week out, no matter who the competition was. Marshall and Tyner are basically unproven backs, although they are very talented. I will eat my words if they tear us up on Saturday, but Barner and James were All Pac 12 backs, and James was a Heisman finalist.creepycoug said:
