More ammo for an already rowdy crowd.

Oregon is 1-3 in their last 4 road games where gameday is being hosted.

Going to be another absolute brawl. Oregon struggles to convert in the red zone against quality teams on the road ... will Saturday be the game that finally changes?

[greenyellow]

Utah has been hit hard this year with injuries. Reminds me of the 2007 Oregon team that would seemingly lose a player or two every game.

Wow- Mycah Pittman has really had a rough go. Mario touted him as such a big deal when he signed. He's been to two schools since Oregon and has had little or no impact. Hope for the best for him.

I predict a somewhat lower-scoring game with Oregon getting the win. Utah's defense is really good. Curious to see whether they'll get any fourth-down turnovers from us and how that could impact the game.

I read that USC ran at will on Utah's defense. I only saw the tail end of the game and at that point SC was passing but they did rush for 170 and 3 TDs. Not stellar but then SC is not know as a run heavy team this year.

They had 98 yards in the first quarter, then stopped giving Marshawn the ball. I think he had 3 more carries after the 1st. Finished 7 carries for 98 yards and 2 TDs.

Looks like 1/3 of USC's total rushing came on a 45-yard run in the first quarter, but the Trojans were largely ineffective beyond that. Utah actually held them to negative rushing yards in the second quarter.

Utah has great coaching. I'm sure Whittingham couldn't have been happier to see the Trojans running rather than passing, and looks like they made an adjustment to take that away, too.

For Utah to get that kind of win on the road is huge for them with us coming to town. They will fully believe they can beat us.

He had 6 Carrie’s for 50 yards. Not really ineffective

Have to get to the 4:37 mark for Lanning to show up.

I read this game is on Fox with Gus Johnson/Joel Klatt on the call.

Great, so 50% of the broadcast will be about the actual game, 25% about USC, and 25% about the B1G, can’t wait.

Gus is fun.

This will be a fun game. Utah's D is legit, but I think Oregon will pull this one off. We need to generate some turnovers this game.

Six carries for 40 yards if you take away the one 45-yarder.

USC ran the ball well in its first and second series, but in its third series runs by Lloyd and Caleb got stuffed. Then on its next series, an incompletion followed by a penalty effectively cut running from the equation. Then Caleb got hot and was getting first downs with his arm. Later, as USC trailed big, the Trojans were simply going to throw the ball more to get back into the game.

Not surprising that USC didn't rely on the run. It's not what they do. And Utah is too good on D and too well coached to not make the necessary adjustments to bottle it up.
