looks like Crapzano is all over the Ducks in b2b fawning columns in The O. not a good sign.
I'm changing my pred to: tOSU 50, UO -3

I think the Ducks have more than a good chance in this game but I do worry about the inexperience. I also worry about Cristobal letting Moorehead run the O.

I'm still not sure if it's Moorehead or Cristobal that thought running the ball up the middle from way behind the line was a good strategy for the second half of games. They have receivers this year Brown seemingly has the arm to throw downfield. The Buckeyes definitely aren't a team you're going to beat by not being aggressive on offense. Of course you have to limit turnovers while doing it.

It looks like things are bad in Oregon as well. Damn...

Our son has been in kindergarten for three days. Already two cases in three days at his school. We are operating on a wing and a prayer. I think I had it back in June. I was fully vaxxed after April 2, with two Moderna shots. I run 25 miles week, and I could barely get through a mile without feeling like I had a rhino on my chest. I felt foggy cognitively. I never got an antibody test, but it was a hard week. I think, regardless of our Vax situations, it will hit us all. And it's funny how it impacts people differently. A guy in my running group has been out since January. He is 38 and in perfect health, but he is still taking respiratory treatment. And then, I golf with an 83-year-old man that shoots his age (or lower) twice a week and he got it and was asymptomatic and nuked it.

All I can say is that we have to be flexible and really aware. I mask up and I skipped the Jags scrimmage and haven't been to a Shrimp game all summer, and I feel healthy. Strange, strange times. I am teaching full time at my college and I had three students in class today. Three! Ugh...
