Oregon @ Wyoming (Sept. 16, Sat 4 PM CBS Sports Network)

Game will be close.

Those expecting a blowout will be disappointed.

I guess one down year has made everyone nervous.

Oh cool, that's a pretty good idea

And this is why I'm not to worried about the second half last week. When you have as many Fr and So playing as UO does, they don't always know how to finish. Ive re watched the game, and honestly in the 3 qrt the play calling wasn't that bad the execution was. In the 4 qrt is when WT went conservative, when he saw his young OL stopped playing as hard. It's tough to turn it off and then back on once you have lost that intensity. They will learn, and by next year this team will be lethal.

Wyoming can't run the ball even against lowly competition. Expect several picks again by the Duck DBs.

They pulled a redshirt on a True Freshman RB last week, he runs hard and with anger. Bigger kid at 6'3" 210, have a feeling we'll see more of him this week and he's an Oregon kid so will most likely have a chip on his shoulder.

He can run with all the anger he wants, he'll still be the least talented back we see all year.

Could be true, but we have struggled with tackling the last few years including last week. Was just bringing up there might be more life to the run game than we as fans are expecting, I don't expect this coaching staff to miss anything so the players will be ready.

I have a bad feeling about this game, and I think 13 points is way too many to give the Ducks.

I can't pick Wyoming to win, but a one possession final score wouldn't surprise me at all.

Apparently that dude was only converted to RB late in Fall camp

Trey Woods is from North Bend, OR. He's a talented kid running or catching the ball. I was surprised that OSU didn't offer him.

Not going to Gilchrist after all:

Change of change of plans: Ducks will remain in Eugene for practice this afternoon. Stand down, Gilchrist, and thanks.

I would think the same if they had a decent run game, which they did last year. Almost 3,000 yards. Now, Josh Allen has to do everything. He's going to turn the ball over and maybe a fumble or two when he gets sacked.

I feel the same. They just don't have a very prolific offense. They have a great QB that has to do it all and I don't think that will be enough against our team. I also think their defense will make things difficult on our offense but not difficult enough for the game to be in question. I just expect an uglier win than most fans are hoping for.

Oregon is going to have to withstand the intial wave of emotion from
the home crowd and team. This is one of the biggest games for them at home.
Once things settle in Oregon should be fine and roll them. Hopefully
Josh Allen comes out and trys to do it all by himself. Errors will occur.

Would help identify who is going to need frequent rotation to help keep the guys on the field fresh.
