So, would we have beaten Oregon last night? Ohio State?

I had concerns about Oregon all along, but they pretty much got manhandled on both sides of the ball by tOSU. I'd like to think we'd have done the same, although we would not have been playing with a chip on our shoulder as the Buckeyes were.
About tOSU, as much as it pains me, I don't think we get it done against them last night, either. We proved we cannot stop their offense, and they performed exactly the same against Oregon as they did in the Sugar Bowl.

I didn't watch, but I'll go with "No".

I think we beat oregon 80% of the time and OSU 50% of the time.

If we played our best game then yes to both. No penalties, turnovers and establishing and sticking to a run game

I think the game would've looked a lot like the game last night.

Depends on how healthy we would've been. We looked battered by the end of the OSU game.

We could've beaten Oregon last night IMO. They proved that they just can't be physical over the course of an entire game and they were really weak on the edges. If we had come out, not played tight, and played ball control offense, we would've won. Henry would've had a huge game IMO. The key would be to keep their O off the field, just like OSU did.

Hopefully one day we will return to the mindset of MTAQ and winning the TOP.

Not the way our defense plays, no.

Oregon cant beat physical defenses. We would have crushed them, if only Kiff had a clue about running down hill while ahead by 15.

oregon lost by 22 points after winning the turnover battle by a large margin ...

we lost by 7 after losing the turnover battle by a smaller margin ...

i'd take our chances against oregon all day, any day ...

toss up between bama and osu just about every time ...
