#7 Oregon @ USC (Nov. 2, Sat 5 PM Fox)

[GoDucksIn09]

I do think Oregon will pass it more against USC. Can not expect Oregon or any other team to pass it much against WSU because they are horrible at stopping the run. I have no problem with Oregon running it as much as they did against WSU. It keeps the clock moving and over the course of game probably kept WSU from having an additional possession that if have incomplete passes would have had. I will probably wait til here some injury news on USC before making a prediction but do think right now Oregon will win.

Great news^

I'm super nervous about this game. You know USC is gonna give it their all to upset us. Should be a good one!

I think Oregon is going to get everyone's best shot the rest of the season.

USC is good at home. They beaten Utah and crushed Stanford at home. They also almost beat Notre Dame in South Bend. They can be a very good team if their players are clicking.

They will definitely try their best to defeat us, a top 7 team, and try to jump start their recruiting and momentum in the season. I actually don't mind losing this game, if it'll mean we get to play USC again in the CCG. Utah has been amazing, easily defeating their opponents. If Utah blows away UW this weekend, I would seriously lower our chances against Utah.

I expect another shootout. Unfortunately usc is without a lot of their star defensive players right now but when clicking their passing game rivals wazzu. They tend to throw up more jump balls which usually works with their star receivers but if we can get a couple of interceptions I like our chances.

USC is missing their top three RBs, hopefully we can make them one dimensional. But those WRs are a damn fine dimension. I’m worried about this one.

The back up, Kenan Christon, runs a 10.30 100m and is better than any of the 3 injured RBs. Nobody is catching him from behind. But he's also the only scholarship RB they had available last week. Not sure of their status for this week.

To those touting the "USC has a similar offense to WSU buy even more talent," do you think USC passes for more offense than WSU against us? More TDs?

Yup... Everybody's "Super Bowl".

Yeah, it really isn't similar at all. WSU throws short, low risk passes to move down the field. USC often throws 50/50 balls counting on the receiver to make the catch, often for an explosion, (20+ yards) play, and of course, USC runs.

USC Passing offense: 282/200 PA/Comp. 2369 yds.
USC Rushing offense :261/1170 yds.

WSU Passing Offense: 418/290 PA/Comp. 3491 yds.
WSU Rushing Offense: 134/ 684 yds.

It looks like USC could get a couple injured players back against the Ducks, but the majority of them will miss the Oregon game (as expected).

Chris Steele and Christian Rector returned to practice.

Everyone else (Drake Jackson, Jordan Iosefa, Palaie Gaoteote, Talanoa Hufanga, Vavae Malepeai, Stephen Carr, Markese Stepp) was out.

Clay Helton said wide receiver Bru McCoy will officially redshirt.

Anyone know the USC's recruit visitor list for this week's game at USC?
