    Never would have believed it, but my instinct is to root for UW. apparently, I hate tOSU that much.

    Wouldn’t expect a knock em out drag ‘em out affair. But if Oregon can beat them at that style it shows a lot

    Yeah, the only stat not in Oregon's favor right now is the score. One turnover on downs and one missed field goal causing this game to be much closer than it should be.

    Also if Oregon keeps forcing Allar to throw those lame prayer passes he will get picked off eventually.

    Just knee it and take it into the half on a clean slate

    Oh for sure. I’ve heard hype about that kid for a couple years now and I just don’t see it

    I feel like Stein’s playbook has been a little vanilla in the first half. I expect it to open up a little in the 2nd

    I am very very pleased with the Ducks this 1st half. Didn't let the pressure or the crowd get to them.

    He’s been good but he’s playing against a good defense and he is forcing a few throws. He got away with that last one.

    I'm pretty surprised by the Duck D so far. PSU only 69 yards in the 1st half and after Allar converted a couple of bail-out prayer passes on 3rd down.. But last season in the title game PSU gained over 300 yards in the 2nd half....so cross fingers

    The Duck O can't sustain drives though. Only one deep ball and that was 20 yard downfield on a 4th down

    I think this game might be decided by a turnover or a huge chunk play by one of the offenses. Sure wish I would have bet the under
