Ducks Favorites vs BYU

https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2022/09/oregon-ducks-open-as-touchdown-favorites-in-top-25-matchup-with-byu-line-quickly-moves-closer.html
After the BYU win last night against Baylor I was a little surprised to see the line open at 6.5. Not that I don't think the Ducks can win.

As someone else said it on here before the BYU game will be the first opportunity to really judge how good the Ducks are.

😂😂😂 Seriously? It just shows how rankings, before they really count, are nothing more than a manipulation to create interest.

Oregon wasn't deserving of its #11 ranking before the Georgia game and they are not a Top 25 team after stomping a Big Sky opponent.

Yet Texas A&M remains in the top 25 after losing to Appalachian State while oregon state is 2-0 after beating Boise State at home and Fresno State on the road but unranked? Oh and BYU is ranked #12!

Ridiculous.

Re: Ducks Favorites vs BYU

BYU was without its top two WRs v Baylor; managed only 20 points in reg v a pretty good D. forty percent of total yards and one-third of TDs last year. G Romney has been out for weeks and is not likely to play Sat. the Puka shell dude is questionable w an ankle sprain.
BYU QB Jaren Hall is a 24-year-old JR. take some time to go to the BYU website and drill-down on the player bios; pretty much the entire O-line is 24, 25 years old. graduated HS class of 2016 or 2017, two-year mission, and then in the program and playing together 3-4 years. polar opposite of most position groups at UO, even our experienced O-line.
should be a great game. Ducks will have to bring their best and play like a team. I think it comes down to explosion plays & special teams; who can make 'em. Ducks team speed can be a huge advantage; get the ball in space to burners like McGee and Dollars, or to our big wideouts for a little RAC. defend the explosion plays on D and toughen up in the red zone.

been scouring the internet for a Duke Volleyball t-shirt. even willing to pay 2-day Air Express to have it for Sat. so far, sold out everywhere.

Go Ducks!
