Dawgs open as -15pts vs. Ducks (early line)

Should have that covered by halftime. It'll take Lanning a few years to beat the west coast softness out of Oregon. I fully expect our coaching staff to watch the two Utah/Oregon games last year and base their gameplan around them.

We will be on a three game win streak against 3 major programs after this one’s over.

Might be worse than 42-10.
First time head coach.
Traveling cross country.
To play his former boss and players that he recruited and coached.
In a hostile environment that’s basically a home game for the defending national champs.
With a first year in his system QB.
Playing against a 24 year old 6th year veteran Qb playing with nothing to lose and lots of familiar targets around him.
Will Kirby have a similar to saban undefeated streak against former assistants ?

I really don’t even know what Oregon’s roster looks like. Is it loaded with 4 and 5 star players?

I don’t have the answer to what I’m about to say, but I’d guess the rub is how good they are in the trenches.

If they’re standard PAC-12 quality then it doesn’t matter who they have at skill. We’ll run through every motherfricker’s face mask if they aren’t in our league with linemen.

If that’s the case their only prayer is Bo Nix pulling horseshite out of his arse.

They played Utah twice in three weeks. They lost 38-7 and 38-10. Utah plays our style with nowhere near our talent. Do with that information what you will.

So this warms my heart. This was from Oregon’s spring game trying to highlight Bo nix, but after the wide open man catches the ball. Just loop once or twice how confused and turned around the DB is.

The WR/te room is going to feast…

Seems like too much

I think we win, but Oregon will be a team to contend with moving forward

With paying players legal, the Ducks are in a great position starting NOW

why? Because it is not just about paying for the best players that wind up being starters and stars, it’s about how deep your team is, and Nike money ought to put Oregon in the hunt more often than not

Transfers are not done yet, I think we win, but that Oregon will be a lot deeper and more competitive than people expect

Here's how we've done in openers every year under kirby. I'll also include a completely and totally UNscientific ranking from 1-10 of how I view the opponent AT THE TIME of game, wiht 1 being a 1AA team and 10 being alabama.

'16 UNC (7) - W 33-24
'17 App State (3) - W 31-10
'18 Austin Peay (1) - W 45-0
'19 Vandy (3) - W 30-6
'20 Arkansas (6) - W 37-10
'21 Clemson (8) - W 10-3

We don't really have an apt comparison for this upcoming one. UNC, Arky, and Clemson are the only 3 teams that were actually "good". Clemson was a neutral site that felt more like an away/netural instead of a home/neutral. Araksnas was a true road game in a weird setting with no spring practice. UNC is the most valid comparison in that both teams are pretty good/top 20 and it's in a firnedly home/neutral setting, but in 2016 we were brand new everythign. This year we have some question marks but are mostly plug and play at this point while oregon will be all new everythign. Nix is a great addition for a Pac12 team but we've seen how he's fared against us. I woluldn't bet money on it necessarily but I can easily see 15 being a pretty solid line. 31-14 wouldn't shock me as a final or something like that .

You may be right but Ohio State didnt look elite.
