Do you want me to change it so it says "Total yards in the Oregon/Michigan St game" so more clear?

I would.

And give everyone who's already picked a chance to change. It looks like they read it the way Jed meant it tho.

I meant total yards for just Oregon in that game. It looks like the people that have picked so far have done total yards for both teams. I know FNG did it for both teams.

Thanks for switching it gobigred

It should probably be specific to Total "Offense" so nobody thinks punt/kick return yards are included. :L

When I look up the stat lines and see "total yards", that is what I am going off of.

That will work.

What's funny is that we had to specify that it was total yards accumulated by 'both' teams, yet if one looks at the answers Oregon could put those numbers up all by themselves. They likely won't because it's MSU who's had a solid defense, but they could if all were to cave in.

Yeah, FNG was the first to put his picks in and he guess 600+. Because my intention was to have just Oregon's total yards I thought he was just being a dumbass as usual and thought Oregon would go off on Michigan St's D. Then the next guy guessed 800+ and I knew I worded the thing wrong. Oregon is certainly capable of putting up 600-800+ yards on any given Saturday but I it is hard to fathom that will happen against Michigan St's D.

Dantonio would need a Pelini Big 10 Championship game plan fresh outta the locker room.

Oregon vs. Michigan State is like when The Joker met The Batman.

An unstoppable force meeting an immovable object.

It is going to be an absolutely beautiful thing to see, no matter what the outcome.

I think Oregon is probably going to pummel them, but I hope not.

I'm jacked for this game.

Oregon may win but I just have a hard time envisioning a Michigan St D allowing a pummeling.

If Michigan St can wether the early storm then they have a chance. Oregon has proven that if you frustrate them then they will beat themselves. They are not great at turning that switch on and off. Once it is on then it needs to stay on for them.

So far, only FNG has picked Eastern Washington to beat Washington. Are he and I the only ones that think this can happen?
