Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Will be the second Oregon road game I've attended, Go Ducks!

This will be a really good test to see if our defense is actually improving. Cal is comparable to Wazzu, and we struggled against the Cougs defensively.

Yes: I WILL be worried about this game. Because I can.

Bye week. This will be over by halftime.

I see Pellum putting a LOT more pressure on Goff than they did Conner Halliday. They may get burned a couple times, but they may not and they may create turnovers and make the game a blowout.

The way Oregon has played the last two games, I agree. But keep in mind, this was a team with an 18-point 4th quarter lead over Arizona. Also, they only lost to UCLA with 3 minutes left in the game by 2 points. They've scored 55 points or more in 3 games.

I think Cal will give us a decent game.

probably will be similar game to Washington, their offense and defense not so great like washington. i see the ducks doing same thing what they did to washington.

Not sure where Cal stacks up, but UW actually has one of the conference's better defensive units. I don't think Cal's defense is at the Huskies' level.

But I think Cal's offense is certainly better than the Huskies'.

Cal has given up (points per game):
Northwestern 24
Sacramento State 14
Arizona 49
Colorado 56
Washington State 59 and
36 UCLA

I'm fairly confident we are the best offense in the Pac-12, maybe the nation, and their defense is giving up an average of 34 points a game to teams not even in our league (meaning how good we are, not the Pac-12). I stand by my prediction haha

Cal is 10th in PPG and 3rd in passing yards (370+ ypg). They are fairly wazzu-esque, and the last time we faced a team like that we didn't blow them out. Wazzu gave up 41 to Rutgers and 60 to Cal.

I'm looking at how we should play defense from the back-in. We should see Dargan/Daniels with Ifo, Troy and Dior a lot. Now, if we go with 3 LBs, we need to have Prevot/Washington rushing on most downs to constantly bring 4. Frankly, I'd rather we just put Prevot and Walker at LB in coverage though with Armstead, Balducci, Buckner and Washington bringing it.

What will we see, lots of Amoeba fronts and expecting A-B-B to bring enough pressure while occasionally bringing a late blitz from outside. The LBs will be out of place and we'll continue to give up 3rd and long because we've either failed to put any type of press on the wr's to mess up the timing (along with a proper rush) and/or we'll fail to tackle in space and give up YAC.

The best thing for us is that Goff is not a real mobile QB and with his tiny hands, if we can get to him, we might cause some more fumbles. If we see him take off from the giant holes that we leave open for QBs when we fail to create a pocket then they might score a whole lot more points than we'll care to see. They'll pass the ball against us, but we've got to create turnovers through pressure.

Seek and Destroy. Please bring the same type of pressure(at times) that they did against UCLA and Udumb. If...IF...they get pressure I see a pick six. I think Oregon wins by a small margin....63-28

Headed down to Levi's as well this weekend. Really excited to check out the new stadium. Being a Niners fan, the new stadium is world's better than the old Stick. Gonna be a good chance for our boys in green and yellow to scope the scene for where they'll be playing a few months for the Pac12 title!

I feel pretty sure we will put up points in the 40's or 50's. I will feel we have really made progress if we can keep them at or below 20 until garbage time. I have given up on the idea of not allowing garbage time scores.
