I hope this thread gets bumped for the Wisky/Oregon rushing shite talking.


I don't know what Wisky rushes for against Oregon. However, to say we've seen nothing like their rushing attack after playing Stanford and LSU is absurd. I know Ball rushed for 1700 yards but Stanford and LSU run with more backs.

The only team to come close or surpass that total was Nevada because the rushed against our walks on when we were leading by a million points.

BUT Wisky has a QB that can run as well. LSU and Stanford... Not so much. The last time The Ducks played a mobile QB in the Rose what happened???

We got beat by TP. However, we held Cam in check. TP played the game of his life. We also sacked him several times.

Likewise, we were using a couple 260 pound DTs in that Rose Bowl.

Most people don't realize that we have a DT rotation of Heimuli (321), Keliikipi (300), Remington (286), and Hart (283). Last year we were using undersized interior linemen. We are still using a drop end on the boundary side at 240 (two of them) but we also rotate 8 guys regularly.

Wisconsin fans think we are undersized but our dline is the same size on per player average as theirs (seperated by one pound).

Way to break it down. I know you are a O homer, But at least you come with some sense. I talk to a guy in Mobile every day that says LSU should not even bother showing up in New Orleans.

It's going to be a tough game that's for sure. Both teams are hungry for a Rose Bowl win. Imo Oregon needs this win in the worst way.



both teams are going to be highly motivated and the loser is going to be denigrated as a team that can't win big game



Agreed, especially for Oregon.

I'll be there to witness it personally. Just found out today. Gotta love a free trip!

Oregon is a fraud. Going to be awesome watching them go 0 for 95 years in terms of Rose Bowl wins.

Does wisky have the same talent that LSU, Auburn, USC, and Ohio state had along the DL? That was the biggest problem facing Oregon's offense in those games. I see this as a fairly high scoring game. I hope Oregon's D proves me wrong but they are motivated and ready to play. They want a win in this game badly.

I can only hope you're wrong. I wouldn't exactly call them a fraud. They're still a very good team.

This might be true but Wisconsin was a pretty big fraud this year too so you never know.

We won the '01 fiesta bowl because the Rosebowl was the NCG that year. Oregon faced a CU team that was going to run roughshod on us. Every team think they will run roughshod on us. Aliotti prepares the defense very well.

Auburn was going to score 60 points. Been there, done that.

Outside of the SC bowl game I'd go in no particular order..

Wisky-Oregon
Michigan St-UGA
KSU-Arky
Bama-LSU
OkSt-Stanford

Sucks though that SC's game is at the exact time and date as the Gator Bowl AND the Outback Bowl.

I don't know why this would be in anyone's top 5 besides Ohio State fans.

I don't know if this game will be awful but the names me nothing this year, it isn't 2007 - zero buzz or compelling reason to watch this.

From the Big10 State and Wisky are the only real compelling matchups...not even that jazzed about Oklahoma/Iowa...but OSU v. Florida feels like more of a dud than PSU/Houston which at least has a storyline of offense vs. defense. Florida/OSU is disappointment vs. disappointment.
