No players fake injuries that many times, without the HC being the one okaying it. Once, I can buy the DL coach being to blame, not every other series.

Oh Tedford definitely Ok'd it. Tosh would have been fired for it if he dreamed up and implemented that scheme without the HC say so all on his own.

I'm actually pretty confident we'll roll both of these "C" teams. Lanning said his team was hungry and still had a lot to prove (paraphrasing here) after the fUCLA game. I believe him. I expect our Ducks to come out with their hair on fire these next two games. Usually I would be apprehensive about these games, but this team seems different from the last 5-6 years. Sure hope I'm right! Go DUCKS!!!

I'm hoping for all white, that is my favorite road combo.

I'm hoping they finally do that combo as well but that feels less likely now that the yellow helmets have black wings on them.buckmarkduck wrote:Nice. Hoping for some yellow helmet, white jersey green pants this week.

A little to gain lot to lose game. Expected to tromp them, less is a looked at as a loss, an actual loss a disaster. Score wise if Oregon comes out sharp and puts them away early, the Ducks will stop scoring in the 40s as they unload the bench and likely lose garbage time. 42-20
If Cal's offense finds lightening in a bottle for the second time this season Oregon might score in the 50s. 54-32
Even though Cal has slowed Oregon's offense beyond expectations in the past I will be shocked if it happens this time (like I was the last time they did it.) 24-14
{I'd go on and post six more predictions so I might be close on one but I think TK will let me get by with this word count this week.}

I think your first score prediction is probably the most likely.GrandpaDuck wrote:A little to gain lot to lose game. Expected to tromp them, less is a looked at as a loss, an actual loss a disaster.

Ducks going with the classic green/white/green combo.

Those cleats are next level but I am not a fan of the ombré wings they keep using. Not a fan of air brushed anything.
