I'll settle for:

Oregon: 28
MSU: 27

I feel more nervous than excited for this game. Really just want the W and another
week to work out the additional kinks against Wyoming before we head to Pullman.

Too bad that one won't be played in Seattle again.

That'd be a lot better than Fuskies 17, Rainbows 16. I hope UW sucks as much as that score indicates. Hate those guys.

September 27th: Stanford VS Washington at Husky Stadium. From a Duck standpoint, I'd call that a "win/win." ;)

For a duck like myself that lives in Michigan, this game is huge for me. I would love nothing more than to see the Ducks roll sparty big but I am extremely nervous, not sure if that's due to living here or that they remind me of Stanford

I'm more worried about being healthy in late October than I am about MSU this coming weekend.

Ducks by at least two TDs.

Oregon opens at -11 .... pretty big spread if you ask me.
Both Oregon and Mich St. blew out bad teams in the first game while staying pretty vanilla.
I am both very excited and very nervous for this game lol

If I am being honest I don't think we are going to win this game. However, I think we are going to keep it close enough so that if we win out we will make the playoff.

I'm a tad more optimistic than that. Granted, this is based on first game observations only, but I think it might play out at Autzen like
it so often has against top notch opponents. We could be down at halftime, perhaps by as much as 10, but I see us rallying with the
help of a rowdy Autzen crowd and walking out with the win.

Oregon: 28
MSU: 27

I think Ducks roll Sparty. Sparty thinks they're special............Ducks lost to AZ last year and that is still a bad taste in their mouth. Ducks will be ready & Ducks debut a lot of new sets nobody has seen. Can't wait!

Don't see us stopping the run and play action. Close game, could go either way I think.

If Marcus plays lights out we could win.

Forgive the nerd factor, but I looked it up. Ever since the 2008 Boise State melt down,
Oregon is 36-2 when playing at Autzen. Our two losses of course had as much to do
with blown, easy field goals as anything.

I like our chances on Saturday.

Espn had a stat up that mimicked that and said that Oregon and LSU had the best home records over X years but I think they also included bowl games assignments and we were both 39-2 over that time.
