Can Go and Ducks be followed by each other
?

Could you imagine being in an airport saying Go Ducks. Poor Alum.
 
I don't have a great feel for how good Oregon is. They got beat by Stanford, who just got thoroughly manhandled by Utah. They didn't have much trouble with Cal, who just got beat by Arizona. They haven't played anyone else (Bowling Green, Portland State, and San Jose State...who scored 22 against them). My gut is that Oregon is seriously overrated and doesn't deserve their ranking.

On the other hand, I don't think UW is playing like a top 10 team. Their offense isn't what it was expected to be, and their D has fallen off. But, you can't be one dimensional against them. Utah was not a threat to throw, and they got beat. ASU didn't rack up a lot of yards, but they kept UW off balance and played them pretty even. UCLA ran and threw with some success, but their D couldn't do their part. Not sure I think Oregon's can either.

UW builds their leads early. 3 points in the 2nd half against Auburn. 7 against Utah. 10 against ASU. 7 against UCLA. So having it close at the half looks to be key.

I don't think the Ducks have the horses. They'll score some points, and might make the final look respectable, but I don't think they'll be able to keep up. Mutts by 12.
