Oregon plays Michigan State in the Redbox Bowl in Santa Clara. Michigan State on offense at the end of the year was an absolute disaster (as they barely survived at home against hapless Rutgers), lost at Nebraska 9-6, and got blown out by Ohio State, only scoring 6 points again against another suspect defense. Oregon will win that game by a mile if Herbert plays. If not, I still think, given how they played against Oregon State with Burmeister by emphasizing running the football, they will still win comfortably if they are motivated.
I fully expect/hope Stanford would dominate either opponent, but perhaps Pitt would give us a better game. Barring another significant injury in the Sun Bowl (god forbid, of course), I would hope we would at least win by a similar margin to yesterday's game (14 points or so, with a possible late score).
