    I suppose it should be in OT forum, but I'm directing this at Blazer fans and don't think anyone would find it there.

    So any thoughts on the game?

    Might sound pretty simple from someone who usually overthinks these things, but I really think if Oregon scores in muliples of 7's and gets 3-4 breakaway TDs (including kickoff returns, punt returns, breakaway runs or catches over 50 yards) then I think that should be enough for Tennessee to get so far behind that they're slow 10-minute drive offensive simply will get pulled out of their style of play and they'll be making mistakes and the game will get ugly and Oregon will pull away by 20+ after that.

    But if Tennessee holds them to no long TD's over 50 yards, then this could be a nail-biter for Duck fans.

    I think you would get more feedback where this actual belongs, College Football... here. But right now it is turning out to be a good game.

    Here's where the tide will turn in Oregon's favor. Mark it down, Oregon's going on a huge run starting now.

    Man, Tennessee is big. I don't watch much SEC football, but it's intimidating.

    That seemed like an early hit. I've seen a couple that seemed like early hits.

    Oregon looks tiny compared to Tennessee.

    Scary, isn't it? Their running back is huge.

    Man, these announcers are just out to bash the Ducks... Apparently they don't think much of the Pac-10.

    I don't really see it that way. All they are saying is that Tennessee isn't New Mexico, and the beating the Ducks put on them doesn't mean shit.

    It just seems very condescending.

    Who here thinks that Barner is better than James? It might be so...
