    Playing Indiana in Indianapolis will be a home game for Indiana

    Playing any team that isn't USC, UCLA, and Washington is going to be a home game for that team.

    Seems like Ducks fans will travel for a game like that though. It was impressive seeing quite so many Ohio State fans here last week.

    Yes, they will. Just not sure we can get 30,000 fans there which would be half the stadium of Duck fans. I'm guessing OSU and even Indiana could. Easier/cheaper travel for them.

    I will say, this might need to be the season the Ducks have to cash in on their talent. Look at the seniors on this team:

    Kam Alexander
    Jeffrey Bassa
    Matthew Bedford
    Bryce Boettcher
    Andrew Boyle
    Jordan Burch
    Jamaree Caldwell
    Ajani Cornelius
    Terrance Ferguson
    Dillon Gabriel
    Marcus Harper II
    Patrick Herbert
    Traeshon Holden
    Jestin Jacobs
    Brandon Johnson
    Tez Johnson
    Tysheem Johnson
    Dontae Manning
    Jabbar Muhammad
    Nikko Reed
    Kobe Savage
    George Silva
    Connor Soelle
    Nishad Strother
    Keyon Ware-Hudson

    that's 12 of 22 starters and some essential 2nd unit guys

    then, there are the guys that could opt in for the NFL draft:

    Gary Bryant Jr.
    Josh Conerly Jr.
    Jahlil Florence
    Derrick Harmon
    Jordan James
    Evan Stewart
    Noah Whittington

    and of course, the inevitable transfers

    the Ducks will need to fill a lot of holes. I'd imagine they will go heavy into the transfer portal market

    ********************************************************************************

    something else too: after 3 years of the steady and poised leadership of Bo Nix and Dillon Gabriel, the Ducks will likely be moving toward starting a relatively untested QB. Dante Moore appears to be the heir apparent, but he didn't succeed as a freshman QB at UCLA

    Georgia’s defense is still terrifying to me.

    Both teams have anemic offenses.

    USC needs to go undefeated the rest of the season. Don't want them to fire Lincoln Riley.

    I hear he’s thinking of retiring. Hopes to get a show on Netflix: The Lincoln Coach.

    He’d be a good offensive coordinator in the NFL
