Classic let-down game.
Pokes 21
Oregon 17
The ducks got way up emotionally late in the game to pull off the come from behind victory against Mich St. And of course they're overlooking the Cowboys. Oregon plays Washington State next Saturday, right? You won't convince me they've spent this week preparing for lowly Wyoming when they've got their conference opener next week. We've got a new coach, a new QB, a lot of young faces, and a not-very-good-last-season defense. Of course they're overlooking us. Classic scenario for an upset.
This is a no-win situation for Oregon, and a no-lose situation for the Cowboys. Oregon wins by 10, or 20, or 60, and no one thinks twice about it, that's what was supposed to happen. We win, even by a point with a blocked last minute field goal, and the football world loses its collective mind.
And yes, most of this is TIC. Just don't expect the Cowboys to roll over and die in this one - that ain't our style. Win or lose, the Ducks will know they were in a fight come Saturday evening.
GO POKES!!
