Ducks destined to lose 2-3 games this year a la Corvallis and UW 2022.
Biggest reason: Lanning will shit the bed again with reckless decision-making. Case in point: fake punt on own 17 against shitty Colorado. That decision was fucktarded, fueled 100% by emotion. Ducks fail there and it's a huge momentum swing with gift points for CU, which, up to that point, hadn't moved the ball in the forward direction. Dumb. Just plain dumb.
If Oregon is even able to hang with UW straight-up, Lanning will find a way to fuck it up by forcing an inane, low-probabilty call, probably on 4th down in our? own territory, per the script. Fuck.
Deboner > Lanning, until shown otherwise (probably never)
I don't see a huge disparity in talent between UW and Oregon.
Penix and receivers are the difference. Oregon has edge at RB. UW has better coached D, which can stop Oregon. Ducks need BigPenix to make mistakes in order to win. I don't see that happening. Hence a dumb Lanning 4th down decision(s) will seal it for UW, rather easily, say 44-27?*
*Adjusted for inflation
Have you watched the defense the last two weeks? Teams aren’t even throwing at Jahlil Florence and Kyhree Jackson has been outstanding on the boundary.
Oregon’s defense is ahead of UW on SP+ that is still using last year’s data.
If Oregon can pressure Penix like yesterday they win
But I think Colorado has a shitty O line
That oline is so bad that I draw zero conclusions.
The pass rush is better than last year. I just don’t think we know if it translates.
