“To be or not to be”… is Oregon posers or are they the real deal? As many of you know, the Ducks ran through the first month and a half of the regular season going a perfect 5-0 straight up, and covering four of those five games. Last week, from start to finish they were outplayed at home against the Indiana Hoosiers, resulting in a 30-20 defeat. Does this team bounce back this week and show us that they are really a top 10 college football squad? Well, Rutgers started out the regular season pretty strong, winning their first three outings, and going 2-1 against the spread during that span. But as their schedule toughened, they have now lost three in a row, having only covered one of those last three contests. Granted, playing Iowa, Minnesota, and Washington is no small task. But I feel this team is overmatched, outclassed, and is in way over their heads in this matchup. The Ducks have the Badgers on deck before a week off, and take it on the road to play the Hawkeyes, then two home games back-to-back against the Golden Gophers and the Trojans, before they finish their regular season off on the road at the Huskies. This is a team that can certainly finish the regular season with just one loss. While I think the game against Iowa is going to be a heck of a game, theoretically this team can finish the regular season with just one miscue on their record. But it all starts with them getting back on track here this week. The Scarlet Knights offense is accounting for over 35.7 points per game. They solely rely upon the past. That’s why I think they’re in real trouble here because the Ducks defense ranks fourth in college football in defending the pass. I doubt very much Rutgers will have any success rushing the ball. Please understand on the flipside, Rutgers ranks 112th against the pass, 136th against the rush, and 92nd in points allowed. That would be enough for me to side with the visitor here. However, their defense has only snagged two takeaways. They’ve got to go up against the juggernaut which is the Oregon offense accounting for over 42.2 points per game, and rarely making mistakes themselves, equally good in the air as they are on the ground. Oh, by the way, the Ducks defense only allows 15.2 points per game. Oh, and one more item, they’ve also grabbed six turnovers already. Oregon has to show that last week was just an off week against a very good opponent. I don’t think anybody’s going to fault them for losing to Indiana. But they must be focused and get back on track here and get a decisive, authoritative victory. Take the Ducks. Thank you.
