It's always nice to see them in the first game, even vs an FCS team. But I just couldn't get up for it this year for the first time in probably a decade.

Losing the PAC-12 has really taken it's toll...

one good thing about Oregon going to the Big-10 is that conference doesn't allow members to play FCS teams like Portland State. IIRC, they are the only P-5 conference with that rule

Their first game of the season the past 5 or so have been amazingly tough if I’m not mistaken. They deserve a year offf.
 
Hey....give the finger to the Pac 12....why not give it to the city of Portland?
 
I think the Pac-12 will be a bloodbath this year. I would not be surprised if no team had less than 2 conference losses. Even the lower tier teams look strong
 
I don't think a team learns or grows by playing a Portland State. Both their offensive ann defensive lines just stink today. And their defensive backs keep making stupid and unnecessary penalties.
 
Probably time for Oregon to stop trying to run. Although it appears Wyoming mostly ran successfully against Texas Tech.

That's what i was thinking; only a turnover could save Oregon/ Although it's not over yet.
 
“Didn’t deserve to win”
What the fuck does that mean? In about 6 weeks look back and this win counts just the same as a 75 point blow out. No such thing as a bad win. Had TT squeaked this one out, would they have “deserved” it? On to the next one.

I think they learned more than a 1st game of the season loss to Georgia or Auburn. Ducks learned that a 1st game matchup against a super power isn’t really their thing, and I’m cool with that. I’d rather they play tougher teams than PSU, but I’ll stay away from the giants.

I will point out though that the Red Raiders had won something like 23 home openers in a row, so they’re extremely hard to beat at home. I think that was the number they threw out at the start.

they were 7-1 at home last season with wins over Texas, Oklahoma, Houston, and Kansas

still, hard to excuse 12 penalties for 124 yards, 4 dropped catches, and a 3rd down defense that gave up 7-12 conversions; and not putting a 'spy' on Shough

First real game of the year and empty cliches are being passed off as insight... whatever. At the beginning of the year lots of stuff is still getting sorted out as the coaches learn what the team can do well. Those games are often messy with penalties and communication, it's a complicated game. The important things early on are to avoid injury, win & learn.

To me they showed some promise, but we shall see. I was wondering why Bo wasn't a running threat the 1st half but then he showed out the 2nd as they turned it up. Happy for a quality win on the road

STOMP

Some of the penalties were just egregious too. Lanning better tighten things up.

And they were 4-0 in 1 possession games last season...
