    Who's the QB? That's my only concern.

    Cyclones gonna roll the Ducks today!

    For reals though, does Oregon have good kick returners? Our special teams is awful. Our losses usually have to do with bad special team play.

    Fun fact: Last year both the Ducks and Beavers were undefeated in bowl games!

    I think they'll handle the same way as the Pac 12 championship game. Shough will play most downs and Brown the crucial ones. If Shough happens to look like he is really "on", they might keep him in all the time.

    Shough is a running threat w/rop

    We play a 3-4-4 defense which is soft on the check downs and QB runs, but we tackle and contain yards after the catch well. A mobile QB can give us trouble as we don't send much pressure with only 3 down linemen typically.

    as a Duck fan...pulling hard for a win, but....

    I saw ISU play a game this year and they are legit. I think they will over-match the Ducks physically and win the LOS. They have a dynamite RB as well.

    I was just thinking a minute ago: This game will probably be decided by takeaways.

    I kind of alluded to this in Duck's last game. I think they realized in the last month that Brown is a lot better than Shough, but they know Brown not coming back and Shough is.

    We usually tighten our d up as the game goes on, but I don't like how easily you guys are moving the ball on us.
