They beat St. Martins a division 2 team in an exhibition game 93-26. They raced out to a 35-0 lead which is impressive no matter who the foe is.
Very deep squad as we know and they can play defense!! Paopao looked like she has matured into an all pac-12 player and many of the transfers are going to help a lot!
They honored Heberd, Sabally, Moore and the 🐐 last night!

Anyways, thanks for taking a break from your normally scheduled time and GO DUCKS….fast start and good close tomorrow please!!!

Scott

While the Duck defense started slow last week, I do not expect that to be an issue this week. Each succeeding week gets Bradyn Swinson a little healthier; and each rep gets Jeffrey Bassa a little better. The Duck defense played elite for two and a half quarters against one of the better offensive teams in the conference and I don’t expect them to take it easy on one of the worst offenses.

I think they will have some issues with contain on QB runs, but not enough to cause too many worries for fans.

Offensively, the team really seems to have found an identity in the absence of CJ Verdell and that identity will have plenty of success Saturday. I do think that the Buffs have a good defense, but the Ducks just have too many weapons and I think that they will be able to score plenty of points. This could be an opportunity for younger players to get some more repetitions which I think does happen starting around the third quarter. I think that sort of limits the total scoring for Oregon, but still like the Ducks in a comfortable win.

Oregon is 2-5 against the spread this season beating it only when they were underdogs, so I am not going to pick them to cover, but still like the Ducks here with a 38-17 win.

The Ducks are favored by 24 at home versus the 2-5 Buffs, who have scored 14 points or less in six of their seven games.

The Colorado defense has some talent but the offense can't keep them off the field.

The Oregon defensive line should feast on a patchwork offensive line that's given up 50 tackles for loss this year, second-worst in the league behind Arizona.

OREGON 45, Colorado 10

A.J.

I get the feeling this will be a breakout game for some Duck skill players, and I think the defense will come to play being fairly healthy. The Duck offense is lucky that more than six OL are ready to play this season. If they had two injuries to starters last year, they would not have been nearly as good up front.

Defensively they have Kayvon Thibodeaux and Mase Funa healthy, along with Noah Sewell who seems to be everywhere out there. Dorlus, Ware-Hudson and Popo have been stout up front and the back end has been playing well.

Colorado is not very good and the Ducks should have an advantage on both lines of scrimmage and speed across the board.

Seeing this on twitter. Bummer.

No longer visiting according to TOS. Is this true A.J. ?

Bummer for them.

"Landman has a team-high 63 tackles with six for loss, four pass breakups and a forced fumble this season. His 45 solo tackles lead the Pac-12 and are tied for seventh nationally."

I think that the Athletic Department is in a phase where national team championships are more and more likely.
Winning just one Natty is a big deal, but I think that Oregon will win more than one.
I’m not sure which sports but I’ll predict one in a track related sport and then one in another sport.

A.J., Scott, Brandon, or Dale, CMC, and CAM, have been hinting that several of the younger offensive linemen are nearing
or on the cusp of earning playing time? Should we be looking Saturday for J. Denis, Big Jax, Logan Saspolu. Marcus Harper ,
Kingsley S, or others. Perhaps some are still a wee bit dinged up? Any insight would be important. Go Ducks, PMM
