Oregon has a game this week against a very nasty Mich defense. Top 15 nationally allowing 16 points per game. Top 5 in pass D and holds opposition to about 100 yards on the ground.

Oregon has spent the season trying to fix a very talented but broken offense. The last couple games have shown a ton of improvement. Going into the shoe and smashing Ohio State.

Ducks have gained a huge amount of confidence. My question... what does the Oregon offense have to do to flip your thoughts on the ceiling?

Oregon on paper has as much talent as anyone. Some injury along the way has dampened that some but still super talented.

My number is 27pts and 350 yards of offense. 125 on the ground. Oregon does that against this Mich D and I think the championship window is back open as long as they can get to the PO. What do you think?

I like your numbers, and a new part of our entertainment is seeing what the ceiling is on the revised Oregon offense. Most would say that matching the Ohio State performance would be more than adequate, as the step up from the Northwestern game was vast, but can we make another step from the tOSU game?

The upside is there, but we only have three weeks; can they do it? Fun to watch for...

We need to step up running the ball. At least 3 to 4 yards consistent so we don't get in holes. This will not be easy this week!

Michigan has given up 20 to Iowa, 20 to Minnesota and 21 to Rutgers so 28 seems about right for the Ducks to me. With UM's offensive problems, that's about 25 more than they should need.

From a winning the game perspective ... Might just need a defensive score or an extra turnover some where to make up the difference here.

Sometimes a weak offense gives the opposing defense scoring opportunities. Let's hope the Ducks can make it worth while.

I hope Lanning starts to pump this team up in the media. Need to keep winning and get the hype train back on the track. Get media talking Ducks and change the narrative. And just keep winning decisively.

Fans need to pump the sunshine everywhere comments are allowed.

AND JUST KEEP WINNING!!!

Michigan defense may be good but their lack of offense is going to keep their defense on the field until they get exhausted and surrender.

After watching 9 games and viewing a number of podcasts that the players OBD's have for this offensive line lack the skills to pound the rock.

OBD's barely got north of 100 yards against tOSU. However, OBD's made some of those runs count on the scoreboard. Against Michigan that may be a big ask. Use the run effecively to set up the downfield pass attack.

Having more 2nd and 3 instead of 3rd and long opens the playbook.

275 plus passing yards should be sufficient. With 3 passing TD's.

Play clean with no mistakes or turnovers.

I would be elated with a 31-10 Duck victory.

Go Ducks and hopefully no booing if the Ducks start slow.

GO DUCKS......

This right here. If Oregon puts up 21+ on a Mich D that has not surrendered more than 21 all year, the committee will continue to reward them. 27 points puts Oregon on the bubble at minimum. +4 spots would be my guess.

The committee is showing a lot of love for Oregon.
