Bottom line is that this narrative that gets leveled against west coast teams, and I heard it a lot in pre-game today, that they're not used to playing physical games in bad weather, is stupid and made up.
These historical Big teams and their announcers, like Daniels, just like to pull on each other's dicks.
Lanning or Stein should have just kept running the ball and they'd have been fine. Iowa's running game was nothing special and Oregon had no problem with it. In fact, they had more problems with Iowa's passing game, such as it is. Moore threw a nice pass to bring them into field goal range … nobody ever said he doesn't have arm talent. Otherwise, he was unspectacular … again. Realize he was down into the 3s and 4s in the WR depth chart for this game.

I'll give Oregon the same props I gave Indiana. You're going to have to win games like this and both teams did
I expect Oregon to rather routinely grind up our DAWGS in a similar fashion. The ducks are a running team not the high flying quacks of old

As a dawg fan most of us knew Oregon would win the game after Iowa missed the two pointer.
As I said this week, Oregon under Lanning always finds a way to win these games. Unlike Juddidiah's teams you have to be actually better than them to be beat and have a good QB. Simple as that.

Washington could have some grease by then, and they are a different team at home. And then there's BONEM.
I still would not be shocked at all for Washington to win that one. But you're right; if Stein remembers that their strength on offense is on the ground and that their QB is prone to panic and make mistakes, they should be fine. But if they try to showcase Moore and air it out, that is a turnover waiting to happen and if that happens, watch out for the grease factor.
I also think somehow Jedd will be coaching for his life, sort of, knowing that capping off the season with a BONEM will buy him a lot of grace (except around here). In that case, he won't be looking to save Demond from anything and turn him loose. If you play design DW keeping it Oregon will struggle against Dwag. Cook it.
