September 21, 20232 yr Administrator No. You know, I want to beat teams at their best. (That is the angel on one shoulder) But on the other shoulder is a distasteful character who just wants-to-beat-the-damn-Huskies any way he can... Regardless--an offensive line that had injury issues, and is light on depth now has these issues to contend with. "I never said I was noble." Mr. OBD
September 21, 20232 yr Moderator No. Unfortunately, as long as they have Penix and their 3 stud WR’s they can beat anybody.

September 21, 20232 yr Moderator No. Pac-12 teams a-hurtin'? No school has been dinged this season worse than Utah. Losing your starting center hurts but as noted above, so long as Penix has the 3 amigos to throw to it will be tough to hold the Husky's down. Utah is down a lot of starters including, both starting OTs injured last week to add to Rising, 2022's 2 best receivers, 2 best DL guys, 2 starting DBs, and 2 RBs. BUT, they'll probably all be good to go when Puddles trips to SLC. It's going to take all of the Mighty Muss and Whit's coaching to upset UCLA on Saturday. UCLA did defeat Utah last season as did Oregon. But Utah is 25 and 26 in its last 26 home games and has won 14 in a row at Rice-Eccolls. The Utes win over Florida is looking better with UF's decisive win against Tennessee last Saturday. Man, this conference in its closing act is a Witch!
September 21, 20232 yr No. It's crazy that the Ducks have both depth and virtually no injuries. At the level Oregon Washington and USC are at, it only takes one injury to derail championship/playoff aspirations -the QB. No Nix, No Penix, No Williams, no show.

Crazy how we've weathered that. With both being transfers, I said "virtually" because it's hard to feel like you are missing something you never had. It is interesting to wonder if guys like boettcher would be seeing any LB time if Jacobs was our best LB on the field as has been projected.
