Oregon (3) @ Stanford (11) - 2/10/19

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford needs to regroup here, not sure I am seeing any improvement since the beginning of the season.

I think they've regressed a little bit from the end of OOC. They've had a series of injuries and have had to shuffle the starting lineup several times. Just don't seem to be as sharp and crisp as they were playing for a while. And inconsistent. Looked good when they hammered Cal at home, not so good when they lost on the road to the Bears. They've actually lost 3 of their last 5 games.

Schedule eases off a little bit, but not exactly easy. Have @ UCLA and hosting Arizona St. coming up the next 2 weeks. Can't really take anybody for granted in the Pac. @ USC might be a tough game. End the regular season @ the Washington schools. Could conceivably go 6-0 during this stretch, but a loss or 2 also wouldn't be surprising.

Glad to see a Miss. St. fan finally getting behind Oregon. Can't remember who said what, there are several active MSU fans on this board, but some of them have been hesitant to offer any praise to UO, even after the Ducks beat the Bulldogs.

Yeah, we seem to get grouped together like we're one big MSU fan. I doubt any of us know each other or share consistent opinions outside of wanting State to win. I think the one guy who hated Vic, and was frankly just a negative force, has been banned.

I have respect for a lot of teams. I have actually recently gone back and rewatched the Oregon game with less emotion. Clearly two really good teams. Oregon had a better gameplan and executed it well.

I think since that game T and Anriel have gotten more comfortable playing together and Danberry has really developed more confidence and is playing at a high level. But we've lost Bibby and that's big.

Oregon to me has just steadily improved. I honestly don't see a loss, even with the tough games in front of them, unless they have a really off game offensively. Possibly @ ASU, just because of their defensive intensity, but I doubt it.

Like your confidence, I wish I shared it. Took overtime in Gill last year, and that was with Gulich. But they might have a shot there if everything goes perfectly. RealTime picks UO in both games, winning by 22 in Eugene. That’s closer than Stanford, if that’s how it works out.

They definitely can't have the lack of production from McWilliams and Corosdale that they had on the Bay Area trip if they want to beat UO. I expect a beat down in Eugene (like last year) and they'll be fairly fortunate if they can pull off the W in Corvallis.

Yeah, now that you mention it, we haven’t heard anything about the “Southern TV Evengelist” for a while, have we?
