Prediction EWU @ Oregon

[luckyintheorder]

This one will be uphill. I think physically Eastern can match up for the most part. We've all seen what the power of a running QB can do at this level and am not sure Eastern has ever seen someone like Bo Nix. Bo is not a perfect weapon but after watching the LB play last week against an inferior opponent, I'd take Bo and the points in this one. Think a poor man's Tommy Frazier. Not sure GT will get the time he had last week either but his willingness to use his legs could keep this close for awhile.

If Eastern holds on to the ball 28 - 49; if there are TO's it could be far worse. My wish is that the Eag's had come out second half last week and just run the ball working on the blocking scheme in a live game. Why? It is obvious Fall camp was designed to reduce injury. Poor tackling is the best example of how this showed up but the run blocking could have been much better too. If Eastern could run the ball and shorten this game, then it could be anyone's game. I just don't see that happening against the LB's of Oregon.

BTW, totally pissed this one is on the lame duck Pac12 network. Will have to settle for Larry's and Paul's call. It could be worse.

Eags 28 Ducks 49

The Pac-12 couldn't have started the year worse, losing every matchup with other Power 5 opponents. Oregon, despite playing terrible on Saturday, still has a roster full of top 10 talent. They'll be enormously difficult. I think we can probably score a few, but it won't be like the last time when we dropped 6 TDs on them. The game will come down to whether or not the D can get themselves off the field, and based on last week's defensive performance and the fact that Oregon is on a level we don't see often, I don't see a big improvement coming this upcoming weekend. This one probably won't be pretty. If they separate, I'd rather start rotating players and getting everyone some reps. We all figured this one was a loss, although it sure would be nice to make some plays and compete hard. Ultimately, it's that game in 2 weeks against Montana State that'll really be the Mendoza Line for our season.

You ain't wrong. Oregon is loaded with talent. I was hoping to see the typical week 2 improvement that many teams have but not sure this is the match up to build anyone's confidence. Agree the Kats game will tell the tale. Might be interesting to see if the OL can give GT the same kind of time in the passing game and certainly would think it's a win if they can move the ball on the ground. I do believe the Eag's strength and conditioning throughout the offseason was very productive.

Maybe they finally saw Best's record against big FBS programs... if UNLV counts in that group then take the points and Eastern. Enjoyed the breakdown of all the odd's sites you did.

Massey still gives Eastern a 25% chance of winning this game but predicts 28 -42 Oregon. Honestly, Eag's going to need 5 TO's and efficiency on offense to get this done.
