Supersonic spread time tonight at Autzen!

Can UCLA pull off a monumental upset? This is a team that went out and beat Texas and Houston earlier this year, but got railed by Stanford and Cal a combined 70-7.

I will be watching but I don't expect Oregon to fall here.

Thursdays are great nights for upsets. Happens all the time. Who will jump Boise next week to take Oregon's spot?

Oklahoma, with a win, will jump Boise even if Oregon wins - a win over a top-20 opponent on the road will do that. If they lose though ... winner of Auburn-LSU jumps Boise.

Lets hope what happened to USC on a Thursday happens to Oregon. I think USC was #1 when Oregon State beat them in the past year or two. Dont feel like looking it up.

True and true. And I should have said in the BCS standings because that is the bottom line.

Yes. It was the week after USC beat OSU too.
UCLA is not looking too bad...until that throw.

What a bad throw...

And then 2 really good ones from the Ducks' QB.

This is the first I've seen Oregon play this year. To say they play fast on offense is a horrible understatement.

Good Lord.


To me it doesn't look like a single player is truly set when they snap the ball though.

Think Peyton Manning Colts offense fast. I've seen pretty much every Oregon game this year. This is normal for them. I'd also say the offense is much better and more diverse than last years.
I expect a blowout.

They also play much better in the 2nd half.

James is hurt. That could really hurt Oregon if it's serious.

That wasn't a play called from sideline. They line up in that formation each time. If the numbers are right they run that play.
