Friday Forecast: Saturday Football staff picks for Week 2 CFB slate No. 13 Oregon (-6.5) at Texas Tech SD: I generally believe in what Joey McGuire is building in Lubbock, but this is a talent mismatch. I don’t think the Ducks will be intimidated by the hostile environment. This line is too short. PICK: Oregon PH: I don’t know how you recover from losing to Wyoming (on the road) in Week 1, but facing Oregon doesn’t sound like a great recipe for success. Even if it’s close for a while, I’ll take Bo Nix putting this away late. PICK: Oregon DP: Oregon is the more talented team. Oregon has the better quarterback. Ducks by double digits. PICK: Oregon ES: Texas Tech lost to Wyoming (with all due respect to Laramie, Wyoming). I do not care that they are playing at home, Oregon might win this game by 3 touchdowns.

"My first thought when going back to game film was checking to see if Oregon went into a “contained-rush”where the pass rushers are pushing the pocket to collapse it on the QB and create a throw downfield, yet maintaining their balance and footwork to prevent the quarterback from scrambling. The PSU QB had demonstrated great speed and elusiveness in the first drive, and that strategy would not have been a surprise to me. Yet that was not the case; Oregon was not implementing a contained-rush, because when timing out every snap that had a pass play by Portland State–it was evident that the Viking game plan was to throw the football quickly. I timed out throws by the Vikings to only be: two seconds, 2.5 seconds, 1.5 seconds, one second, two seconds, two seconds, etc. You get the idea; they were throwing the ball immediately, as they knew their offensive line would have trouble with Oregon’s defensive pressure. Above you see an example of when the PSU quarterback held the ball for three seconds, and he was hit by No. 98, Casey Rogers, as he threw the ball incomplete. Every time it went longer than 2.5 seconds–the Viking QBs either were running for their life, or throwing the ball away. My Duck-Buddies, you cannot get sacks in 2.5 seconds, and it was a sound strategy by the Vikings." I agree with you Charles. Great analogy on players out of assignment as to why PSU had a great series of plays resulting in a TD. What is going to be interesting to watch for, in what you said above, is in the TT game. This team is similar to WSU teams with the Air-Raid offense. Very difficult to get sacks due to the speed and accuracy of the QB getting the ball out to his receivers. I believe Oregon seen enough film on TT to come up with a great defensive game plan. If our players stay within their assignments, will help forcing their QB keeping the ball longer than 2.5 seconds. The results will bring great dividends in this game. 1st Downs 26 24 3rd down efficiency 7-17 6-15 4th down efficiency 2-2 2-2 Total Yards 431 320 Passing 338 149 Comp-Att 31-47 18-34 Yards per pass 7.2 4.4 Interceptions thrown 1 0 Rushing 93 171 Rushing Attempts 33 44 Yards per rush 2.8 3.9 Penalties 7-69 3-15 Turnovers 1 2 Fumbles lost 0 2 Interceptions thrown 1 0 Possession 25:58 34:02 The stats are telling. TT only had 93 total rushing yards in the Wyoming game. 338 yards in the passing game. If we can disrupt their passing game? Whoa! Game over. We take the crowd out of the game early, increasing 3 and out possessions. Thanks again Charles for the great work pointing this out in this article! I feel the so called media experts were blinded to this as well as the other article, "New Secrets: Lanning’s Stunning Substitutions" information. Again, they missed it!

You might have missed previous posts about Oregon expanding North side of Autzen (on page 5 titled 'Time to Add Seating at Autzen?' and on page 4 about Big Ten stadiums titled 'Getting to Know the Big Ten Football Stadiums.' Oregon has the North side of the stadium on their radar to expand/remodel. Which is important due to BIG fans travel well and the possibility of hosting one of the early playoff games. Hope this helps.

Hmm 🤨. Let's exchange the writer's last name to Ken Eeyore in honor of this hit piece of negativity towards Oregon. We all know this name belongs to the famed character in the Winnie-the-Pooh books. This character is a pessimistic, gloomy, depressed, anhedonic, old grey stuffed donkey. Since he wrote this unbalanced, biased piece, I can at least give my biased opinion.
