Georgia is just on a different level. I don’t see how too many teams can compete. That quarterback for them will never be a pro but he’s a helluva college QB.

That said, Oregon state will probably lose to the lowly Broncos tonight. And not of the Russell Wilson variety.

And I have a lot of family that are Beavers fans/alumnus. But TLong is such a smart ass that I’m rooting against them and their awe schucks coach
 
I’ve been more impressed with Georgias offense than their defense
 
I like Lanning and think he’s going to be a great coach. I’ve seen enough glimpses.

Pretty rough to be tossed into the fire against the defending national champs
 
Civil war will be juicy this year. Probably another Ducks blowout though

Very much. Got to hand it to the kid. Nothing spectacular, but gets it done. Great game manager. Oregon's totally undisciplined defense hasn't hurt either. This is the worst display of Oregon defense in a long time. No one has been in position to even come close to making a big play. I'm not gonna slam Lanning. It's too early. Georgia is awesome, but they're winning with what looks like vanilla play calling. Now on Mix, he is what he is, and it's time to see if Ty Thompson can play , or not. Mix had his chance, and failed miserably.
 
I actually feel bad for Coach Lanning. Many of his players look like they've never played before, and sure as heck have never tackled.

Georgia’s style of offense has really given nothing to pounce on. I mean they were all in on that one play and that little wideout was wide open in the end zone.

I’m interested to see how the Ducks bounce back from this game. That will tell me a lot about the coaching staff.

I’m not sure there’s a team in the country that could come into this atmosphere and pull out a victory. That’s a road game to start thdd Ed year against the defending national champs

I think a more disciplined team will play better. The Ducks defense looks like the three stooges. They're lining up so far off receivers, Bennett doesn't even have to think of going to a second read. He's been able to dink and dunk all day. On offense, a better QB would have Oregon in the game. Nix doesn't seem to be able to survey the field, at all. The Line is doing pretty good on protection. Nix just isn't that good.

The SEC can have their QB back. I haven’t been impressed whatsoever.
 
Lanning needs to nix, Nix. Ty Thompson needs to get a chance to prove that 5 star rating . If he gets picked , he does. Ain't any worse than watching Nix.
 
Our secondary really has been shit. You gotta be like Velcro, man

I know I just want to see what the kid is all about. If he sucks ass that is a pill I can swallow. Just leave no stones unturned

The Duckies tailed way off at the end of last season which, along with conference reputations, is probably playing large in the minds of those predicting (& betting) this game. Being openly betrayed during last season by their "loyalty & family" HC was pretty much a pin to the program's balloon. Between that and general poor QB play, they were a sad watch as things wound down last year. But it's a new season with a promising new coach, staff and QB. The presumptive starter is Senior transfer Bo Nix who's ranking out of HS was higher then any QB ever to start a game at UO... good reason to think they majorly upgraded the most important position. He'll have a plethora of weapons to distribute the ball to.

I just read/watched like 5 different outlets saying that Georgia's size/speed advantages will win them the day, but good grief do those guys even bother to look at the rosters? I don't know speeds of each player, but Oregon is verifiably huge and loaded with quality depth. The entire starting OLine is back featuring 4 Seniors and a Junior, most with legit NFL aspirations, averaging 6'4.5" & 319lbs. Georgia's OLine features 4 Sophomores and a Junior averaging 6'5 & 310. Can Oregon slow the Georgia run game? If Georgia is getting 5-6 yards a pop, of course its a route. But the Duck DLine is also huge, talented, deep and experienced. The Linebackers are possibly the best group in program history, with multiple day 1 NFL pick type prospects. I can not wait to see Justin Flowe lining up next to Sewell. Despite losing a ton of talent to the last NFL draft, the Georgia D is still loaded with former HS All-American types at all 3 levels.

I'm expecting a back and forth game with early season sloppiness. But like last year going into Columbus when no one gave UO a shot, I see no reason this is the mismatch the predictions suggest... Lets Go Ducks!

I’d rather lose early against the defending champs than knowing we’re not going anywhere and getting smacked in the mouth vs. Georgia early
 
Brutal. Ducks look like a Juco team today. Georgia's great! But these Ducks don't look as good as i thought they'd be. I'm surprised how awful the defense is.
