As a Duck alum I don't support UW at all. I'm just admitting they seem to be on the upswing while the Ducks are fading. I don't like Stanford either, but I respect their program.
At this point the performance of the pac12 isnt deserving at all of a spot in the playoffs. So I just hope both teams play a good game, and they leave the weekend healthy. Obviously I want a duck win, but big scheme of things for this year it really doesnt matter. So just have a fun competitive game tired of the blows outs on both sides.
I think the dawgs may win this one..... but "the Ducks are fading"? Seems like, with currently the #3 recruiting class in the nation, (By far their highest ranking ever) the Ducks also might just be on the upswing.
I tend to take that stuff with a healthy dose of salt. What % of recruits actually wind up de-committing and going elsewhere? Unless you are somebody like Alabama, it seems like your school is guaranteed to lose at least a few out of every class. Teenagers change their minds!
Obviously some will change their minds, but that is not really the point. If you follow recruiting at all then you know that last year and so far this year Oregon is on the rise, and players that previously they have failed to get. Like huge physical O-linemen.
This whole you cant touch a qb thing is making football just stupid. Id say that if the jerseys were reversed too... Rediculous had that of been a rb or a wr they wouldnt of even looked again.
