Re: keys to victory
I agree with the keys, but I have to push back a little on "The Ducks haven’t generated nearly the kind of pass rush they had last season with Kayvon Thibodeaux wreaking havoc on the outside". I didn't think the pass rush was all that great last season and KT was inconsistent. Sure, it should improve this season. It seems like minus the Georgia game I've seen pressure at times it's just that they've let a lot of QB's slip away and just miss tackles for the sack a lot.

Re: keys to victory
All I know is Oregon has yet to play a game which resulted in MY expectations...
A more competitive effort vs Georgia.
EWU itself would be more competitive.
The BYU game would be much closer.
Didn't expect Oregon to be outplayed for 3/4 of the WSU game; only kick FG's in the first half and then score 29 points in the 4th quarter to win the game!
So I have yet to "guess" correctly or even be close beyond just predicting a W or L.
I will say though...
1) The defense needs to do a better job of keeping its composure. Oregon is better on paper but all it takes is a couple of dumb penalties...late hit, unsportsmanlike, etc. to turn a almost certain victory into a struggle or more.
2) The offense in the red zone needs to score TD's not FG's. Memo to Dillingham: Run your tallest WR's or TE's along the back of the end zone and have Nix throw high so only they can catch it.
