Oregon 19-18 2 2 219

Sco Ducks! The season starts now. Let's wreak Trojan and look good doing it

This is one of those games where....I am just not very rational. It is hard for me to even enjoy the game, due to all the animus built up over the years. But, let's discuss the game before and during, here in this thread. Being critical of coaching decisions and player performance is FINE, as that is what we do in a forum. But do not get personal towards the players, coaches, or fellow OBD forum members. But being angry, joyous,....all of it is fine. I hope you can enjoy the actual game more than I do!

27-17 USUCK 1 turnover 2 sacks 245 passing yards I don’t think Dante Moore knows how to read defenses and I don’t think that gets fixed in 1-2 weeks.

Well one thing I can tell you. In my opinion you will NOT be defending your title. You don't have enough offense. And losing both your prime RBs doesn't matter. The offense isn't as potent as last year. Which again highlights how much luck really comes into play. You were five yards from losing a heartbreaker. No IFs ANDs or BUTs. But I will say this. The B1G is going to have a very tough time winning the Natty period. OBD do NOT look like a playoff team. IU and tOSU2 don't have enough firepower to withstand the pool of talent this year. Michigan should be 2-1 and unless Bryce Underwood miraculously starts throwing like a QB, they are toast. USUC has no defense. Aaaaand that's about it.

Going to be a very interesting Homecoming game.

Oregon Ducks Facing Uncertainty With USC's Jahkeem Stewart AnnouncementThe Oregon Ducks may have to deal with USC Trojans star defensive lineman Jahkeem Stewart making his season debut. Oregon Ducks On SIOregon Ducks Facing Uncertainty With USC's Jahkeem Stewar...The No. 20 Oregon Ducks will face a No. 12 USC Trojans defense that's looked suspect. USC, despite its 4-0 start, has surrendered 30 points or more the last two

Oregon definitely has the talent to erase all memory of Stillwater by the end of November. Comes down to trench play... Shocker! Can the defensive front live up to the hype? Can the O line perform just well enough to get the running game respectable? And can the new coordinators perform at a high level given the lack of experience? Like everyone else, I don't know. Definitely has an effect on the cortisol levels leading into this USC game this today.

I think based on what we have seen with the inconsistent offense. USC wins 24-21 1 turnover No sacks 275 yards

Good summary: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2026/09/26/indiana-football-northwestern-score-lee-beebe-jr-aidan-chiles-turbo-richard-injury/91949803007/

Indy works for me. So does NW. So does SUC. So does fusky.

Well the "NW" includes Idaho, Montana and Utah. The PNW is Oregon, Washington and Northern California being they have a Pacific coast line. I know nothing about the state of Indiana, probably never will. I apologize, I didn't know "Indy" can be used in a way that is offensive. But it's just my ignorance of a state that I have never had connection to.

Occasionally, when a train goes off the rails it rights itself and continues on it's expected path. Rare, but it happens.

I think you meant to say PNW ....

This is honestly the hardest OBD game I've tried to predict. Anything can happen today. Oregon 38-35 2 TO 1 sack 282 yards passing

Figured we could use one thread for the rest of today’s Top 25 action since Oregon vs. USC already has its own. Here are my picks. Feel free to come back tonight and tell me how horribly wrong I was. 😂 Wake Forest at #16 Louisville: Louisville 34, Wake Forest 20 #1 Texas at #14 Tennessee: Texas 31, Tennessee 27 Illinois at #7 Ohio State: Ohio State 41, Illinois 13 Sam Houston at #11 Texas Tech: Texas Tech 48, Sam Houston 10 #3 Notre Dame at Purdue: Notre Dame 41, Purdue 14 #4 Ole Miss at #21 Florida: Florida 31, Ole Miss 28 #15 Utah at Iowa State: Utah 27, Iowa State 17 #17 Iowa at #18 Michigan: Michigan 20, Iowa 16 Oklahoma at #2 Georgia: Georgia 31, Oklahoma 14 #25 Houston at Georgia Southern: Houston 35, Georgia Southern 17 Wisconsin at #13 Penn State: Penn State 30, Wisconsin 17 Central Michigan at #6 Miami: Miami 52, Central Michigan 7 South Carolina at #8 Alabama: Alabama 31, South Carolina 17 #23 Texas A&M at #10 LSU: LSU 28, Texas A&M 17 #19 Missouri at #24 Mississippi State: Mississippi State 30, Missouri 27 Missouri State at #22 SMU: SMU 45, Missouri State 10 A couple of those are probably going to age terribly, but that’s half the fun. 😁 What games are you guys watching, and where am I dead wrong?

A good article about not writing off a team because of one bad early season loss. My favorite line in this article is: "September tells us plenty of lies." If we win today, we'll have just received a complete reset after an incredibly rough start to the season. What a great opportunity. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/page/gamedaykickoff092426/2026-gameday-kickoff-week-4-preview-top-games-usc-oregon-alabama

Between you correcting my "Indy" comment and this prediction, feels like you are trolling a bit. I have been salty to after Oregon has looked bad this season. So I understand after Hoosier got exposed last night. It's all good.

Right, and Northwestern is NU now NW. Got it! NW actually refers to a collection of states located in the northwest corner of the US. Oregon being one of those states👮‍♂️👮‍♂️👮‍♂️

31-28 USC 2 TO's 3 Sacks 298 yards passing

The word IF is the biggest word in the world of sports.

Chiles has now had games just like this againt IU's D for the past three years for two different teams. Northwestern's Braun has been great the short time he has been there. NW will upset a big name team this year. I told IU grads in Chicago (friends) that it would be a one score game. They laughed but as of this morning have not answered my texts or calls to them. On a side note to Log ... if you are going to be in the BIG at least get it right. "Indy" has NOTHING to do with Indiana Hoosiers. Indiana is either IU or Indiana University. "Indy" goes with the Indy 500 and Indianapolis. I guess I could call it Oregon University instead of the University of Oregon. 😂

Northwestern started slow in the first half, at one point Indiana had 200 yards vs 20 yards offense for Northwestern. If not for the slow start, due to NW O-line failing and bad throws by Chiles, NW would have won.
