Anyone wanna talk USC-Oregon?

It’s at Oregon.  Ducks win and they’re headed to the playoff.  Oregon schedule is a bit suspect.  Both teams have played Iowa.  Moore went 13-21 with no td and a pick.  112 yards.  Tells me they don’t trust him

he implodes they lose.  But he’s playing at home so I don’t expect him to.

USC is a year away and trending in the right direction.  I think the idea Oregon is going to physically bully USC as we expected a month ago needs to be rethought.  USC played Iowa as physical as Oregon did.  In really bad conditions.

I think Oregon’s talent and depth is better.  I think the environment will help uo.  Nothing says college football like a bunch of meth addicts riding Harley’s into a stadium

I think this is the best offense USC has faced in 2-3 years.  And the price UsC pays for Iowa is they lost a first round pick in Kamari Ramsey at strong safety and a Thorpe award finalist in bishop Fitzgerald.  I think Oregon exploits that lack of depth there repeatedly.

I think the noise and conditions fluster USC and lanning snorts a few lines and hops around psyching his team up.

42-17 is a number that keep thinking of.

the longer the game goes competitive  the more it favors USC.  UO should win.  Has to win. Their season falls apart if they don’t.  Unfair. I am disappointed they lost to IU.  I have thought they’re the best team in the country the last few years.  You can’t keep being on that edge.  You either get to the top or slip back to the pack.  UO needs this win.

there is already a feeling that UO west coast dominance is ending.  Recruiting is balancing out. USC is improving.  Closing the gap.  8-2 versus 9-1. With the class USC has coming in I think Oregon needs to hold them off one more year.   USC wins and with their upcoming class there will be a palpable feeling that the power has shifted.   I just think we are still a year or two away from that happening

Come on LAD, you guys  have a way more talented roster than USC. And yet another game in Autzen in the series.Your secondary in the most talented one we will face this year. Bear, Pregnant Man, Bryant and all the MD kids will be ready. Ducks are 9 point favorites and it should be more. Looks like both our Safeties are out, our starting RB’s are out. USC is not particularly good at ANY aspect of defense but if we can focus on stopping the run we have a chance to keep it close. That strategy should propel Dante Moore into the Heisman convo. You guys won too many recruiting battles against us before this year. That’s going to show up Saturday.
The only way we win is if the matchup includes an algebra quiz and some 4th grade astronomy questions.

In other words, hell yeah we are going to pull off this upset. If Indiana can beat you so can USC. Let’s gooo.

Oregon wins, 38-30.  Big advantage for Oregon, it’s a home game.  USC has a ton of key players injured and out.  Dante Moore is a Top 8 QB in nation.

I see a shootout LA. SC lost its LT to injury in the Iowa game and both its starting safeties. Couple that with all the freshmen and sophomores on our D and that spells trouble, but they are all talented. At one point we had Abide(SO), Boucard(FR), Stewart(FR), and Crawford(SO) in the game as the DL. At the same time we had Walker(FR), Stephens(SO) at LB along with Gentry(SR). When we lost our two safeties, we had Pierce(Jr) and Urlacher(SO) as our safeties. Our corners were Nicholson(SR) and Conley/Williams(FR). That is 8 sophomores/freshmen on D at one point, so that is our weakness, though these young men are talented but lack the experience reps bring.

On offense, we lost our starting LT Paige, and I don’t know about J’Onre Reed at Center, who is 40lbs heavier than O’Connor, who will start at Center.

My biggest worry is Maiava in away games, where he has been a headcase. If he plays to his abilities, you are in for a helluva game.

Hey LAD  spoken just like the head coach.
