#172

First Big 10 Conference game…. Against UCLA (1-2)

8pm kickoff @ The Rose Bowl

Oregon -24 OU 55.5

Lone win was against Hawaii 16-13

Lost to Indiana 42-13 at home

Lost to LSU 34-17 on the road (looked good in first half)

Injuries?

Bedford had “a setback” in practice during the bye week.

Jahlil Florence still not ready to go

Familiar Foes

Moliki Matavao at TE

Bryan Addison at Safety

Harmon and Caldwell could wreck this game

Garbers has struggled under pressure this year (4 ints)

and UCLAs OLine has struggled up the middle.

UO secondary vs UCLA WRs

Ducks will need to tackle well to avoid explosive plays vs players like J. Michael Sturdivant

Gabriel could feast on a depleted UCLA secondary if the OLine gives him the time to do so. DB Kanye Clark suffered a season ending injury.

UCLA was already allowing 295.3 yards per game in the air, which has them ranked 128th in D-1

DB Devin Kirkwood will need to have a big game for UCLA.

Ducks OLine will need to stop DT Jay Toia from causing havoc in the backfield.

Prediction Oregon 45 - 13

Ducks of a Feather release “What the Duck” Nike Dunk lows in collab with GOAT & Fight Club

A limited number of pairs will be available in person at Flight Club locations in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and Tokyo on Saturday, October 5. The shoes will also be available exclusively on GOAT.com and the GOAT App starting on October 11.

Pac 12 vs Mountain West

The Pac-12 is suing the Mountain West over what it calls an unlawful and unenforceable “poaching penalty” that could cost the rebuilding conference more than $40 million for adding Boise State, Fresno State, Colorado State and San Diego State, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court.

Utah St has also agreed to join, putting UNLV in a position to be the swing school in this latest round of conference realignment. Memphis has said no to joining the Pac12 and will remain in the American Conference.

A merger would be the best outcome for College Football.

Last Take

Oklahoma has benched Sophomore Jackson Arnold for true Freshmen Michael Hawkins Jr.

Venables also had some unprompted comments on how DG left saying “I didnt know I even had to fight this fight, I didn’t realize you (gabriel) was even considering coming back.” , DG responded with “Im right where I need to be”
