They won't "get up" for a shot at their first Rose Bowl?
I truly hope I am wrong, and all the optimist are right…but, Utah is a team that has a mobile QB something that OSU didn’t have. Their game planning is similar to ours, but in the last meeting, they were just better and things seemed to flip their way. Unless Oregon changes the offensive scheme somehow, I don’t see a different outcome, the score should be tighter but I still don’t see how the Ducks win. They were outclassed in all three phases of the game for all four quarters. Unless the ducks have made quantum leaps in their play, this will be a trip to San Antonio, which like I said before is still a good bowl game. It would be great if after Friday, all the positive thinkers could tell me, “See I told you so”. But nothing that I have seen all season, except the tOSU game looks anywhere close to the performance that would be needed to beat a motivated and well coached Utah team.
Hopefully we can do a repeat of last year's Pac 12 championship where we defeated a very good South Division team, seriously, the North division has won 9 of the 10 CCG's.
I know this is random but is it a for sure thing that KT is playing this Friday? Is it possible he sits out the championship game and bowl game to avoid getting injured for the NFL draft? He doesn’t seem like the type of player to sit out the postseason but potentially being the top pick in the NFL draft has to be getting his attention and it has to be something he doesn’t want to risk.

I don't see him sitting out of this game, but could definitely see him sitting out the bowl game.

I think (hope) this is the most likely outcome. If we win and he plays in the Rose Bowl that would be great but nobody should fault him if he doesn't. He may not go #1 but he's a sure-fire Top 5 and that means ~ 25 Million plus endorsements. I saw one CBS Mock Draft that had him going 4th to the Jets with the Seahawks draft pick from the Jamal Adams trade.
