Not holding my breath on this one, more likely than not this won't be close. However Im assuming its because of the high turnover with movement from NIL, but even some of the most loaded teams this year look really poor for large chunks of the games.

I hope the two weeks we have here will pay off. Maybe two weeks with the new DC will help. I know I am reaching here but you never know. Crazier things have happened.

There is a pretty good chance both of these teams are 3-3 entering this game.

Oregon is not the team of old. We will need to force turnovers if we want any chance to win. Could be a very interesting line come next Sunday.

And that’s what is so frustrating. The schedule this year screamed the possibility of 10-2 or even 11-1 if the right pieces would have been put in place in the offseason. Such a missed opportunity.

We played horrible against Duke and Purdue. If we play just an average game we win both games. Just way to many mental mistakes

Purdue played a brutal 3 game stretch and has actually looked like a sneaky good team. They completely steam rolled a respectable Minnesota team yesterday.

Duke is also 4-1. The problem with those games is the self inflicted mistakes. In the past couple years we win those games because we play mistake free football.

Six wins will take a miracle. But I will enjoy watching Pat Bryant chase the TD record, some of our talented freshmen getting playing time, and seeing if the OL (most of whom can return next year) can start solidifying.
