I agree about the Beavers. After Andersen left the players did come out with some inspired play; but now, though they have played better, they didn't get any wins. Now they come in to Autzen to face a team also playing better and coming off their best win of the season.

They have been playing better and would love nothing more than to come to Autzen and beat Oregon. I don't think they will be able to. Oregon will want to show this is not the same team as last year. I think we win by 14 or 17. I don't think we will curb stomp them though.
We do need to recruit better at qb so what happened this year when Herbert went down does not happen again. I know Burmeister is just a freshman and will improve but I don't know if he is a division 1 qb. Just did not see any real improvement from his first game to his most recent game. You would expect growth and the eye test did not show much improvement.
As far a recruiting better QB's, Braxton is no Herbert, comparing both QB's as they started as true freshman, but I haven't given up on Braxton yet. But if we recruit a Mariota or Herbert type talent he may transfer before it is all over. Don't forget we had two QB's bail on the team last spring...so recruiting wasn't the issue....... and I hope at least one or both of them are kicking themselves about now.
Good season considering Herbert was out for five games! I's happy with Willie, the coaches and the team.

Yeah, seems like the opposite situations from last year, when the Ducks had all but quit by the time Civil War came around and the Beavers were on the upswing.Merganzer wrote:I agree about the Beavers.

Yeah, I think that's important. Seems like I've many times seen a sudden surge of improved play after a team has a midseason coaching change upheaval. That clearly happened for the Beavers this season. But they didn't end up with any wins from that improved play, and in fact it looks like they've been further and further away from a win each week. I think any "juice" from that has run its course.Merganzer wrote:I agree about the Beavers.

Yes, I suppose "anything can happen" per the cliche, but i agree that it looks like quite a lot would have to go wrong for the Ducks to lose this one.

The beavs are very thin at corner. so this would be game to let Herbert pick them apart first and then pound em later

We just beat one of the better teams in the conference, with one of the best players in the country, by 20 points. The beavs don't have a chance.

Barring a complete collapse or 6 turnovers, I'm pretty sure a curb-stomping is in the offing...as others have said two teams going in the opposite direction right now...

I don't think this game is close everyone remembers last year and with Herbert And this defense we are a top 3 team in conference only thing we don't have is good WR's. Chuck, Royce, Crosby, Springs and Henry all going to have big games playing their last game at autzen and I think the team follows suit

I'm expecting a blowout like most, but last two civil wars at Autzen were similar where Oregon was way better then OSU and both came down to the fourth quarter or maybe late third in 2015.

We went into the last CW with one of the worst defenses in the country though, I wouldn't say we were way better than OSU last year by any means.thomas time wrote:I'm expecting a blowout like most, but last two civil wars at Autzen were similar where Oregon was way better then OSU and both came down to the fourth quarter or maybe late third in 2015.

If Portland State would have had a PK OSU would have lost their only win. We roll big.

All-green for the Civil War. Half-expecting OSU to go go all-orange or all-white.
