I think Oregon is going to really try to paste us to make clear how much better than Northern Indiana Parochial College they are (and yeah, they are much much better than ND).

What happened to Colorado could happen to us, and they might not call off the dogs in the 2nd half. It's a frightening prospect.

Have you seen our defense?  We are NOT Colorado.  While I think that Oregon is very impressive, and I do not expect to beat them, there is a reason they are not ranked #1--they have not played a good team yet.  The best team they have played is Arizona, and if AZ had not made made a series of unforced errors early in the game they would have been up 28-3 at the end of the first quarter.  I do not expect Oregon to be able to do whatever they want vs. the Stanford defense, and I certainly do not expect them to run the ball with the same level of success they have enjoyed so far this year.  Enough hysteria.
