Game Thread 2015 National Championship Game: (2) Oregon vs. (4) Ohio State, Jan 12th @ 8:30p ET, ESPN

Also,


Hold on to the ball....don't help them

Quick count from boxscores of the games they played against solid teams (MSU, UCLA, Utah, Zona x 2 and FSU) shows me a +12 TO margin for them.

The only game they lost was also the only game they were at least even in TO's

The one that concerns me most
Last nights game was BRUTAL.. truly a 'sledgehammer' game
while Oregon had a cupcake game

Hope 11 days is enough to recover from Ali/Frasier tier bout

But, they have to be a little tired from all that running they did across the goal line.

Pretty sure they lost Devon Allen who was their #2 WR and top KR

Also lost top CB in practice before Rose

One thing we as a nation owe to Oregon: They ended the clown show that was Jameis Winston and his team.

I think we are going to win the football game. I like this matchup better than I did the Alabama matchup. We are going to be able to run the ball against them and eat up some clock. We also have an advantage in that we run a lot of the same stuff that Oregon does so we will be familiar with what they are doing. A lot of defenses look like they don't even know what way to run when they are playing Oregon. You could say Oregon will have an advantage against us too b/c they will be familiar with what we are doing as well, but I think we have the edge athletically so it's advantage us overall.

Maybe most importantly this team is extremely mentally tough and resilient. You have to be to beat Oregon b/c you know at some point they are going to put a flurry of points on the board against you and you can't fold. Like Florida State did. I can't see this team folding. Hell, it didn't look that good when they were down 21-6 to the #1 in the country and the QB in his 2nd start was 5-13 with a pick and the rush defense was getting gashed. But like they have all year when they were faced with adversity, they bowed up and just to work from that point on.

I think we win 44-37

I liked @OregonBuckeye over on the Ducks forum saying the BP elitist pricks would never make a non-Buckeye a mod like the forward thinking Oregon site making an LSU fan a moderator.

It would be cooler if @methomps wasn't a mod for a decade here. But whatever.

If the Rose Bowl against Oregon was any indication, expect a flood of two Oregon fans any minute next week.

I tried to convince my boyfriend to sign up, but he threw one of his teensy little fits when he saw all the duck-hunting posts.

(He has just a wee anger management problem.)

So, for now, I guess you'll have to settle for just one fan. I'm a fan. I'm a duck and a fan...of the Ducks. I'm a duck Duck fan.

duck Duck fan...that reminds me of something or other...

Can't say things like this without linkage.

I don't think it was a shot at the BP mods....and it has been a while since methomps has been around so far as I'm aware....

I agree. He was just sucking up a little.

I think we are significantly better on Defense and Special Teams. I would give Oregon a slight edge in Offense mainly because they rarely turn the ball over. Marriotta is the X factor. But EE is our X factor. We will run on them all night long. Zeke needs at least 30 carries. We need to slow down the game and keep their Offense off the field. If we hold on to the ball there is no way I see use losing this game. The run game will setup play action. Nothing cute. Just smash mouth football. Then when they don't expect it BAM! By the 4th Quarter their Defense should be the ones who are worn out.

GO BUCKS!

I do think highly of Oregon's Oline.

Their Dline? Not so much.

I don't know mate. Their DLine was eating Florida State's OL for breakfast, and Florida State's recruiting has been pretty top notch.

I think their lines can compete with just about anybody.

Duck hunting memes are pretty lame imo.
