Ducks favored by 4

[Dan Thompson]

I think this is going to be a very close game and the Ducks just might win this one on a trick play.

I saw a replay of the Holiday Bowl and the trick plays and then the Ducks beat FSU on the fake field goal to win by 7.

[cschellman]

For those that don't know, the "FSU" Oregon beat Saturday was not Florida State. It was Fresno State, and UO beat them by the skin of their teeth.

[Landthief 1972]

I like being the underdog to Oregon. It will be like salt rubbed in their wounds... again. >:D

[westcoast_sooner]

Not worried about the point spread. Could be close. If our D comes to play, we should be OK.

Oregon has to resort to trickery to win with that fake FG pitch to the kicker from a backup QB. We have AD, a bunch of playmaking WRs, ENA, and a D that looked pretty good in the 2nd half of the game Saturday.

Yeah, but they're a classic trap game for west coast teams early in the season.

I think this is going to be a very close game and the Ducks just might win this one on a trick play.

I saw a replay of the Holiday Bowl and the trick plays and then the Ducks beat FSU on the fake field goal to win by 7.

They actually won the game when Fresno State tried to recover the FG that they blocked and UO got a break and a first down inside the five. Reminded me of the Big Cat giving Miami the win on Thankgiving by doing the same thing.

How can anyone make the same mistake ever again after that game?

I didn't see anything that scares me about the Ducks. If we play up to our potential and minimize mistakes, we should win this one.

[Miko]

Didn't the ducks give E. Popcorn State all they could handle, only to see EPS win it on a long FG in the final seconds?

That may have been against Appalacia School for the Blind back in the sixties.

nice research...

But all of that means exactly squat unless the defense puts together 4 quarters of sound football against a quarterback that's fast and is completing 67% of his passes.

AD will get his...their coaches know that.

The key will be if the OL can handle the environment (both of our turnovers against UW can be attributed to protection busts) and give Paul time to throw against a secondary that's not exactly all-world...even before the loss of one their starting corners to injury.

We do that and we'll be 4-0 walkin down The Ramp on October 7th.

DUCK SEASON! FIRE!

[Quack 10]

0-7 Record vs. OU

I don't think so. Wanna double-check your stats?

[Octavian]

OU is 6-0 all-time vs. Oregon...again, that means nothing on Saturday.

[Texas Golfer]

I've got the Ducks as going 0-6 against us. Nonetheless, those aren't impressive stats if you are a Duck fan.

[soonervegas]

http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/428/stoopsduckhuntjr7.jpg


I like, but in reality shouldn't there by three ducks in the red below....because after Saturday we will have beaten them three straight years.

[Quack 10]

When did any Oregon fan ever visit this board claiming that the Ducks have the tradition and history of Oklahoma? How many of the other 117 D-1A schools come anywhere close to Oklahoma's history? Five? Ten?

Has OU never lost to Baylor? San Diego State? UCLA? Tech? Do their histories match OU's?

This seems like a lot of chest-thumping for a team ranked #11 in the nation. Perhaps you're not really as confident as you portray?

[BIG_IKE]

Actually....OU has NOT lost to Baylor..NEXT!!!

[BIG_IKE]

I know the game is played on the field, and I am prepared to eat Duck if you guys win...I just had know idea Oregon's football history is so.....Jayhawkish

And sorry about the 7 wins I was looking ahead.

[Octavian]

none that I've ever seen.

three.


This seems like a lot of chest-thumping for a team ranked #11 in the nation. Perhaps you're not really as confident as you portray?

perhaps...we know have a lot of talent and a very capable coaching staff...we just haven't put it all together yet for 4 quarters.

It's a mix of anxiety and confidence.

[BIG_IKE]

And for the record we are 15-0 against the Baylor Bears...whats yours against the Cal bears?

[BIG_IKE]

DUCK...

[daddywarbucks]

We are thumping our chests in preparation to thumping your arse...

Ok now the "Im big and bad fear me" is out of the way, I expect a good game actually, I do expect OU to win by 10 but it should be a good game thru the first half...AD doesnt show up till then.

[Quack 10]

And for the record we are 15-0 against the Baylor Bears...whats yours against the Cal bears?

Really, I didn't know that. My apologies.

Oregon is 29-34-1 versus Cal. In fact, Oregon has a winning record against only three Pac-10 schools (OSU, UA and WSU) and those are very close. The Ducks would have to beat Washington 20 straight times just to even the series.

[Bourbon St Sooner]

Unfortunately, we're not playing our tradition vs. theirs. We're playing 2006 OU vs. 2006 UO - at their place. It'll be all we can do to come out with a win.

And yes, I do remember losing to Kansas. I remember them pulling down the goalposts in 91 or 92. And then there was the true-frosh Troy Aikman game (shudder).

[proudsoonergal]

I enjoy well played football games, and I hope my favorite team (OU) wins.

Okay, I feel compelled to respond to these skewed statistics.

First, let me say that I'm not going to talk smack about the Sooners. Like most Duck fans (and, frankly, college football fans), I have a great deal of respect for the Sooners football program and tradition. You have a good team, and I expect a great game on Saturday.

As for these statistics, they ignore recent history. Oregon has developed, over the past decade+, an outstanding football program that has been competitive on a national level. If you look at what has transpired since the 1994 season, the statistics give you a completely different view:

RECORD:

Oregon:
99 wins, 46 losses (68% winning record). (Second only to USC in the PAC)
Oklahoma:
98 wins, 49 losses (67% winning record)

CONFERENCE TITLES:

Oregon: 3
Oklahoma: 3

BOWL APPEARANCES:

Oregon: 10 (4 wins, 6 losses)
Oklahoma: 8 (4 wins, 4 losses)

NATIONAL TITLES:

Oklahoma: 1
Oregon: 0 (but few would dispute that in the 2001 season, Oregon should have played Miami for the national championship instead of Nebraska. I'm not saying we would've won (we'll never know), but we should have been in the title game)


See you in Eugene on Saturday, where you will be more than welcome.

GO DUCKS!

[AIR, LAND, WATER]

Nice post PDX.
Ducks are a much different program going back just 10+ years. Oklahoma, Ohio St..........all the tradional powers love going back 100 years ago and bully others around with overall program strength. Its like they have those program stats saved somewhere and the first thing they do is go and copy/paste it. Hell, I guess we would too but then again what impact does that have on todays players?
Note to Sooners.....
Everyone knows who you are, what your program is about, how many championships you've won.......
Dont pretend like we dont know college football and stop posting stats from the last 100 years.
Tell someone who doesnt know.

[TrophyCollector]

Uh, DuckTard, the original stats weren't skewed, they are a collection of complete historical facts.

Your stats are skewed because they pick some random *** year that makes it look good for your side.

That is all.

Ducktard?
Ive been reading several posts on here from some Oregon fans and some of our comments have quite frankly embaressed me.
But your "DuckTard"......how about 5 minutes in the corner for not being able to come up with something better than that. Chalk 1 up for the Sooners.

I feel the same way you do. I don't think you should get too overconfident about ANY game. You never know what will happen. So many games and wars, for that matter, were lost by people who thought all they had to do was show up to win.

Besides, if you think your team will always win, you set up unrealistic expectations that are sure to disappoint. It's no coincidence that the most fervent, boasting supporters are the ones that always turn on their teams first when things don't go their way?

[centralohioguy]

The stats are pretty even, but the season is young so I don't know how meaningful they are. In any case, as an outsider I'd go with Oklahoma based on conference strength alone. Also it looks like Oregon has lots of injuries, but I don't know if they're starters. If the Oklahoma defense shows up, it shouldn't be that close, IMO.

Excuse me TLID but that is 1947(Bud's first year) not 1950.Before 1947 football was just football.In 1947 a state religion was born and it is called SOONER FOOTBALL.Just needed to clear that up.

[CincySooner]

I'd go with Oklahoma based on conference strength alone.

I dont know how you can say that... conference season hasn't started yet. No telling how OU stacks up against the conference this year.

pac10 hasnt exactly torn up the non-conference schedule either.

In fact, Im not just real sure what you are trying to say <head scratch>

[centralohioguy]

I guess what I was trying to say is I'll always pick a Big 12 team over a supposedly 'equally matched' Pac 10 team.
