PDXAnas, Eastern has built a complete football program and it started long before Vernon stepped on campus. The last 4 years in a row we have played PAC 12 opponents with 3 different starting QB's. In 2011 we should have beat the UW with Bo Levi at QB (went to the last play and we were -3 in turnovers). In 2012 we should have beat WSU with Padron at QB (went to last play). in 2013 we beat OSU with Vernon at Qb and we hung 52 on UW last year when they had 3 1st round draft choices on D.
The Ducks will win and might win big, but if you have it in your mind that the last 2 years were all about Vernon you are mistaken. Don't get me wrong, I wish Vernon was back again this year because he was INCREDIBLE here at EWU but we have a complete program that is more then one player.
The Ducks better be ready to strap it up because our boys are coming to play!!

Did I not also mention coaching and talent? And Adams played a big part.
This isn't your average FCS bodybag team, far from it -- I get that. But, come on, this isn't an average FBS squad.
With Oregon's speed on D, EWU has very little room for error in executing their pass game (don't see EWU having success on the ground). Whereas I think Oregon is going to be able to run the ball very effectively.
The talent differential is substantial (to say the least), and I reckon in this one Adams will enjoy putting balls to the deepest group of receivers he's ever thrown to.

Your depth and talent all over the field might not be as great as you think it is, case in point Vernon Adams. A transfer QB can come in from a "lower level" and be with the Oregon squad for all of two weeks and win the starting job over guys that have been in the system for 3 and 4 years. When does that ever happen? Hell, that doesn't even happen at Eastern when guys transfer from FBS "down" to FCS, most of those guys don't make an impact for awhile.
Oregon is a great program with great talent, but when you look a little closer it isn't nearly as great as you think.

To All: Will be at the airport to see our team off Friday 8 a.m. I go and see them off whenever the team fly Charter. We see the Players when they come out to board the plane, and then we go upstairs and see the plane taxi to the takeoff runway, watch them go airborne until they get out of sight. We cannot go in the areas where they enter, once they clear Customs. for anyone interested. Chartered Flights are on the other side of the Airport, which is South side of the Main Runway, Go Past Washington State Patrol Office on your left, Waste to Energy Area on your right side. Stop at stop sign, go past the Gas Station on your left, turn right next road, follow the road until you come to the Chartered Terminal on your right at the end of the road. Can't miss it, if you do you will run through the chain linked fence which is a secure area. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Go Eagles!!!!! Vic Wallace

A few quick thoughts on the game:
First, it's great to have another opponent from the Great Northwest. Welcome to Autzen this Saturday.
Second, I know it's got to be tough loosing a very talented QB like Vernon Adams to the Ducks, I'd certainly be upset if I was an Eagle.
Third, you guys have a reputation of putting up big numbers on the PAC-12 (Washington & OSU) so I don't see you getting shutdown consistently in this game.
Fourth, No Oregon won't score on every possession
Fifth, Oregon does not run up the score on opponents (contrary to something I saw somewhere else on your board)
Sixth, I'd expect Oregon to try and pound the ball on EWU and wear you down.
Hope it's a great game with no injuries on either side of the field.

GoDucks349,You are the only one I have seen with any type of sense when talking about our Eagles. This team was great before "Traitor came to Eastern". We will still be even greater now that he is gone. What made him, was the OL protecting his sorry ass. The Traitor is a person that doesn't think of his team, he is for himself. I knew it the day we played Illinois State. He was supposed to go to PSU, when he signed with EWU, he had his PSU Jersey on. I am not bitter, just glad to see him facing a "Damn Outstanding Defense" this weekend. I am not going to tell what you will see on Saturday, but we will be coming and coming very hard. Do not underestimate this team, you will be getting a team that doesn't back down from anyone. Good luck on Saturday, and as you have said, the best team wins, with no injuries on either side. Go Eagles!!!!! Vic Wallace

I've been around awhile, I'm an old fart that's remembers Oregon when 3 wins was a great season. I also played small college basketball and know the competitive nature of athletes both at smaller schools and larger schools. I learned that it's fun to knock off the guy with the press clippings.... I've also learned that you respect opponents every day and every week. Boise St comes to mind for the Ducks.
I like seeing the supposedly "small" schools in the NW grow and become competitive with bigger schools. EWU is one of those schools. Lots of eastern schools that get more press clippings because of the population base would be very hard pressed to compete with EWU or similar NW schools
I wonder how Vernon with his propensity to cramp will fare under UO's turbocharged pace of play. I realize that he now has the best of resources in trainers/nutrition etc in contrast with our program but my understanding is that the problem stemmed complications from his sickle cell anemia traits rather than the more traditional causes related to heat and dehydration. It will be something to monitor as the season progresses.
