I must admit I'm nervous about this game. The 11.5 point spread for Oregon seems a little generous to me. And then I see one of the OLive guys pick the Ducks by 20. Would love to have that level of confidence, but I don't.
Count me among those happy for the bye week after the big win at USC. I would think that should allow them to really expand the playbook for an already confident Raiola getting first team reps (and Dante now being officially declared out for this game, as I'm guessing most of us figured he would be). Really looking forward to seeing how Raiola plays on Saturday.
Would be kind of funny if it turned out that not only will Dante not play against his old team this week, but that Raiola doesn't play against his old team the following week because Dante is ready to go.

With Lanning, he’s been great with most stuff, but not when he has time off. Hope he figures it out this week

No surprise that Dante is out but potentially not having Flowers available could be a major issue against UCLA. Imagine Woodyard will get a lot of snaps, as well as Jett Washington seeing more PT than usual.

Isn't that interesting? It's almost like a guy who excels in motivation has a hard time keeping the motivation up over longer periods. We like watching all the videos, but sometimes I wonder if the schtick gets old when you hear it every day.buckmarkduck wrote: Thu Oct 08, 2026 12:19 am With Lanning, he’s been great with most stuff, but not when he has time off.

Yeah thankfully UCLA is a run first squad, but don't want to give UCLA any hope on offense.greenyellow wrote: Thu Oct 08, 2026 12:54 am No surprise that Dante is out but potentially not having Flowers available could be a major issue against UCLA.

I would like to see both Washington and McNutt play some reps.greenyellow wrote:No surprise that Dante is out but potentially not having Flowers available could be a major issue against UCLA. Imagine Woodyard will get a lot of snaps, as well as Jett Washington seeing more PT than usual.
