OT Ducks vs. Beavs (i.e. Civil War)

The Platypus Bowl title goes to the Beavers by 10+.

 

Ducks at home and a good bowl and pac12 championship at stake? Give me Ducks -6

 

Too bad WSU elimated a guarantee that a team from the state would rep the North in the P12 title game.

No question Oregon has more talent. No question OSU has a better in game coach. This Oregon fan is far from confident the Ducks will win, but I'd still give them a slight edge at home.

 

Ducks 38
Beavers 21

 

Beavers will win if they do 2 things. First, their defense has to be tough early. Second, they need to strike first. If they get the early lead their running game can chew up time and the Ducks will quit by halftime. (as they did vs Utah)

 

That is the line right now.
This one goes to the Ducks.
I want the Beavers to take this but if they do the Cougs end up in the Championship game is the way i understand it. Not sure i would be happy with that? Mixed feelings.

 

I would rate Beavers higher in "toughness". Hope I'm wrong

 

That was to easy

 

Quack quack

 

To easy

 

Need a score here

 

That was NOT conclusive

 

On the board

 

Well?

 

Brown picking up yards with both his arm and his legs. Something lit a fire under this team!

 

only half way there...lots can happen, and has happened in the Civil War (yeah, I said it)

but too many people were judging the Ducks by the avalanche in Utah. That game just got away from Oregon. The Ducks are a lot better than that game, but recency bias made people think OSU was better and favored

 

I though the Beavs defense was stronger than they've shown.

 

Certainly wrong at this point.

 

The secondary has been their big weakness on defense.

 

And that is why I don't buy the whole "Ducks are better than the Utah game" argument. Down 3 TDs the Beavers came out fired up and just took it to the Duck defense. Nobody told OSU the game is over.
