Somebody is taking this way too serious...

Or somebody is just bored. Take your pick

 

[Moab]

Or somebody is just bored. Take your pick

I hope it's the bored thing.

 

[NU_FTW]

I hope it's the bored thing.

If it is me who you think is being serious, then yes it is the bored thing. If it is anybody else i cannot speak for them

[HuskerinBig10]

so far, two out of three ex-Nebraska football players are picking Oregon.

Most picks are for Oregon. Basically, 95% or so(my guess)

Just about all picks that post a score are going high.

A writer in Los Angeles must not like Oregon, ever.

Reality is setting in.

2016 3 losses at home

Nebraska as a visiting team
2016 2-3
2015 2-3
2014 3-2
2013 3-1


B1G is currently 2-0 in away games in 2017
Michigan beat Florida in Texas
Maryland beat Texas in Texas

Darn it, this game should be moved to Texas.

2016 Oregon was ranked #22 coming into Lincoln to face an unranked Nebraska team. Lost the game and went on to a 4-8 season.
2017 both teams are unranked

2017 Nebraska no turnovers in a game where they played an FBS team
2017 Oregon lost two fumbles against an FCS team

Sacks allowed
Nebraska allowed one sack against an FBS team
Oregon allowed one sack against an FCS team

Penalties
Nebraska penalized for 75 yards
Oregon penalized for 115 yards

Sacks
Oregon had 5 sacks vs an FCS team
Nebraska had 1 sack vs an FBS team

Pretty much all statistics favor Oregon.

State Mottos
Nebraska Equality before the Law
Oregon Alis volat propriis?

At least Nebraska's is in English.

Seriously, I will take a wild guess that if I walked up to an Oregon fan and asked them the State Motto they would have no clue what it is or what it even meant. Unless they were a Catholic Priest. Words of wisdom here, never play Trivial Pursuit with a Catholic Priest, they always get the Latin Questions.

Fun facts

Oregon
Hells Canyon is 7993 feet deep created by Mother Nature
Carhenge created by a Drunk Nebraskan

ive always known the state motto but not in Latin. She flies with her own wings. I think I learned it in like 5th grade when we visited the state capital and I met Congressman Peter De Fazio

 

[Olyduck]

Solid point. If they honor all of the tickets already sold for Autzen, we would still have 36,000 available tickets.

Seriously Oregon. Your stadium seats 54,000.

60000 with standing room

 

[TheReal_NU]

60000 with standing room

Interesting.

Couldn't they afford to put seats there?
Or did they figure 54K covered more than enough for most games this year?
Heck, I think they sold 100 season ticket packages to a single Nebraska Travel Agent alone.

HERE. IT. IS. THE OFFICIAL GAME THREAD OF THE OREGON DUCKS VS NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS.

Preview: Oregon hosts Nebraska at Autzen stadium on Saturday September 9, at 4:30 PM Est time, which is 1:30 PM local time in Eugene, Oregon. The Ducks are coming off a 77-21 point win vs Southern Utah while the Cornhuskers are coming off a Houdini type escape vs Sun Belt conference opponent Arkansas State with a 43-36 victory. Oregon looks to deliver revenge to Nebraska for last years upset in Lincoln, Nebraska. Although Oregon had one of its worst seasons in 35 years last year many argue the Ducks should have and would have beaten Nebraska in Lincoln had they just gone for the extra point rather then going for two.

This week the state of Oregon has been battling forest fires across the state which has made for a terrible air quality week, but all signs and forecasts point to things improved by kickoff and we are all in for a great treat! ITS FOOTBALL ON SATURDAY IN OREGON!!!

Mike Riley, the Nebraska head football coach, returns to the state of Oregon for the first time since leaving Oregon State and becoming the Nebraska head coach. Bottom line if you ask, Riley doesn't do well in Autzen stadium, but neither do a lot of teams. In recent times some other big non conference teams that have come to Autzen and lost; Michigan, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Michigan State. Nebraska, you're next.


Game Summary: Nebraska has no defense given they almost gave up 500 yards to Arkansas State and 36 points to the Red Wolves and needing a last second stop to escape the upset, at...home..Oregon is soaring with talent and confidence after their first big win under first year head coach Taggart. Oregon's offense looks like it did under Mariota and the Ducks defense seemingly has improved greatly. Also unlike last year, Oregon is healthy in this game.

I see this game going similar to it did last year in Lincoln, only this time when Oregon goes up by double digits it doesn't give up the lead and cruises to a victory.

Prediction:

OREGON 56

Nebraska 31
