With the Alamo Bowl matchup vs. Texas looming, there's a lot riding on it for the Oregon Ducks, more so than the Longhorns. Beware the team with nothing to lose, as a possible role reversal to the 2000 Holiday Bowl outcome when Oregon and Texas last battled could occur, Texas the up-and-comer looking to knock off the Ducks. http://www.campusattic.com/headline/remember-alamo-bowl
With the devastating loss to AZ and watching a Beaver team run wild on us, I do think this is a very important game. I think a win will be good for recruiting in Texas as well as ensure we start as a top 10 team next year. A loss can hurt big time in both areas.
