He was big on Oregon just a couple of weeks ago. I'm an Oregon fan and even I think Oregon is in for it. Statistically, they are due for a loss and the game is on grass not turf. Also, I think there is a chance Gabriel will be sacked maybe 5 times if the offense doesn't find their legs and block without holding. They are going to have to be fast on their feet and play execution is going to have to be at a whole other level for Oregon to win. I don't think it's going to happen though and I think football season for me will be done.

Only thing that can be seen in a good light in that situation is that a coach gets to see what he has going into the following yr and what spots still need work. It's how much that can help an off season and get young guys out there and some experience where the stakes aren't as high as the could be the following yr. Not a perfect situation but me personally would much rather have players sitting out and us have a better situation for the CFP and National Championship than having the BCS or the system that was in place prior.

The scoring could definitely be that high if both offenses are playing their best ball. It’s not likely, but definitely possible. I’m pretty sure Oregons O will score at least 30. and Ohio State, if they stay aggressive, can definitely score 30 as well. However, in my eyes, the real dealbreaker will be QB play. And I simply think DG outclasses will Howard in particular in big games. I think it’s gonna be close, but I could see a 31-34 Oregon result.

If Ohio State tries to go to number 4 all game or tries to do what they did against TN, they will fall into the funnel trap that Oregon has set for them and Howard will have a terrible day. The best chance for Ohio State to win this game is to run the ball, not to pass the ball. If they can't run the ball, they will lose. Oregon has two secret weapons for this game. Jalil Florence DB 6.1 190 and Sione Laulea 6.4 190 lbs DB. Both are DB's that can play this game that are excellent cover DB's. Florence started most of the year last year and missed the last several games with injuries, Laulea was a transfer and has a pick this year already. They both add heights and length if needed to stop those receivers. Kingston Lopa 6.5 198 lb DB played last game and covered the Penn State tight end the second half. He adds speed, length and height and gives them a third weapon to bring in the secondary.

Unpopular Opinion: Ward is better than Sanders

[@MIMadDogsHC]

Idk if that’s unpopular…it shouldn’t be tbh

[@jordanmadden7388]

He’s significantly better. I really don’t understand how Sanders has a first round grade.

You do not want to draft ward. WSU fans know how turnover prone he is. Dude missed checkdowns frequently as well

My guess is that ASU plays a 3 high safety on defense. My question is who else is going to deliver for ASU? Boise and ASU are going to find out the hard way about trench warfare.

[@JoshFreize]

everything is turning out to be the same as last time for oregon ohio st. josh Pate picks Oregon, Joel Klatt pick Ohio st and then im going to the game again wearing the same fit when we beat Ohio st for the first time, Oregon will win and win the natty this season Sco Ducks

[@jbjohnson4728]

Oregon has earned the No. 1 seed but there's too much parity in college football for them to go undefeated, especially considering that their defense has looked suspect at times.

[@Jose-mh2om]

Miami fan here, Cam Ward left us with the lead at half, gave us a 10 win season that would NOT have happened without him. The defense was terrible all season. No need to risk injury in the POP TART BOWL, its not a natty.

[@AndreFurtado-cj4yd]

great work

[@pupdog_24]

One of the few times I disagree with Joel. Sure I’ll give it to him for playing the game when a trend is to opt out nowadays. But Cam knows he can win the game for Miami, and he knows that the second half favors Miami more than Iowa St. But if the worry is to make sure you aren’t injured in the second half, what happens if you get hurt in the first? Then the question is why did he even play? You go out for your team in your last game of your college career and give hope to your fans to win a bowl game. BUT instead you leave a tight nail biter game knowing you were really the only person who was able to put your team in this situation of the season. You cannot tell people that it’s the better of the change in college football. This is exactly why people don’t like the change, the selfish thinking, the “me first” attitude continues to ruin CFB and it all started with NIL.

[@sparkyplug788]

I agree totally

[@gistrogorb7975]

Agree that players sitting is bad for the sport, but not sure that the “me-first” mindset started with NIL. Coaches have been leaving their teams prior to bowls for as long as I have watched the sport. Brian Kelly left undefeated Cincinnati to take Notre Dame gig some years back. But major L take from Klatt attacking people’s character for thinking players should play

[@ragnarzuzu]

Well said. Klatt seemed to describe what Cam did was a good thing. Don’t complain! College football is getting better!

[@bryce2702]

You know Steve Owens?? I saw him play in Norman in the late 1960s with my Dad there in Norman. Dad went to OU years before. When Owens won the Heisman, the story appeared above the fold on the front page of that morning's Tulsa World. I've still got that issue somewhere.

[@AP2020_Outdoors]

Oregon Defense will setup Cover 2 High to try and stop Ohio State Big 3 receivers. This will open up the run game. Will Howard will get his RPO perfected in this game. Penn State took advantage of the Oregon Defense. What Penn State lacked was the Buckeyes Big 3 receivers. Once Oregon sees this Offensive dilemma, they will know how Tennessee felt. Too many Offensive weapons to cover. Oh...and the Buckeye Defense??? Lol. That's altogether another discussion!

[@kirk-o1r]

you are right and that's exactly how Michigan felt! Michigan had no idea how to handle OSU's offense.

[@5a.m]

Buddy we beat the buckeyes while leaving 10+ points on the field that game. And an interception that the refs didn’t give us. Also, we put up 30+ on that amazing Buckeyes defense and we will do it again. If you think Tennessee and Oregon are comparable your gonna have a rough new years

[@robertestes9462]

Your forgetting Oregon's outstanding pass rusher Jordan Burch who was absent the first meeting? The Ducks Defense will be better this time around and this team has something to prove. The Offense will exploit more wrinkles in the Buckeye Defense and will find opportunities to hit big plays and yardage. Ducks for the win 42 - 24. Tennessee is no Oregon!

He argues that the best time for a group of 5 team to catch a good power 5 team is early before depth can be exposed so that same logic should apply when the group of 5 team gets a bye and almost a month off.

The thing I worry about though is peaking… who is peaking now.. OSU seems to be surging after the slap from Michigan.. if they come out with that attitude, they can win. If they are tentative AT ALL, OR will put them away. Should be a great game. If both sides play to their potential, this should be an overtime game. Another Rose Bowl classic!
