No chances taken with this being the best ORE team ever, it clearly is top to bottom. Deepest team in the country, deepest team in ORE history as well. However, you mentioned the last five QB's as being soft, weak, or under-skilled to play QB. Three of those five QB's made it into NFL, two of which are still in the NFL. Joey was a top 3 pick, and played for 9 seasons. All of those quarterbacks won a bowl game, four of those QB's played in a BCS bowl game, and three of them won a BCS bowl game. Let's use that as a tool for spotlighting just how great Mariota is, because he is the best COLLEGE quarterback the ducks have ever had. We'll see how he does in NFL, but for now, if he's better than the previous five, the ducks have a shot at the title. A serious shot.

And Stanford's D is nothing like Bama's. Bama's D gave up 20 points total in October, 4.0 ppg. Stanford gave up 77 points in October, 19.25 ppg. Compare that to ORE's D, they gave up 93 points at 23.25 ppg in October. All three teams played 4 games. I'd say Stanford D is a lot like ORE's D, and Bama's D is on it's own level. Save for the fact that Bama played Georgia State, Kentucky, Arkansas and Tennessee in October (9-26 combined record). The only thing Stanford and Bama will have in common this season is that the Oregon Ducks beat them. |

I like the Ducks by 14 or more. No way this game is left on the leg of Maldonado again, not this year. Oregon was playing to win last year, this year they will be playing to dominate. Helfich knows he needs a 14 to 21 point lead in the second half to feel comfortable about closing it out without needing a defensive stand or a late field goal. Oregon will cover this game by controlling line of scrimmage on offense, limiting big plays and TD's on defense, and with their elite speed all over. I see a special teams play similar to the ORE/CAL game in 2010, when Cliff Harris ran one back to put oregon up for good, and squeak by CAL for their toughest win that year. I think it's close until that play, then ORE pulls away in final frame for 45-30 victory.

@searider1972 Your name should be dickrider. You're a friggin idiot. Line is 10 so it's close, because it would be 30 if was going to be a blowout? Do you watch football? Have you ever seen a 10-fav win by 40? I have. And I've seen a 20.5 point dog win SU. And your analysis of Oregon is incorrect, to be polite. Oregon's D is not good? Oregon is ranked 27th in the country in Total Defense, Stanford is ranked 23rd. And Oregon's D spends an avg of 34 minutes on the field, no other team defense in the top 30 spends more than 28 mins on the field. That's elite my friend. And both teams had the same exact amount of time to prepare, as they both played on Oct 26th. No advantage there dickrider. And you mentioned that the oregon system doesn't work outside Pac-12. 8 teams in the BCS Top 25 use hurry spreads with mobile QB's. And last but not least idiotic is your comment about the NFL and Chip Kelly. This is college football, in case you forgot. Thank you for your lack of quality insight and incorrect analysis. Good luck, dickrider. Quote Originally Posted by searider1972:

The Stanford beat Oregon last year so they know they can beat them again. They have the formula to beat Oregon. It just comes down to execution. Oregon has not played anyone and they did struggle with UCLA so they are beatable. The Oregon system has not gotten out of the PAC 12. They have not won the national championship with this system and Kelly |
