oregon will win
no. no they won't.
All I can say is that Oregon fans are gonna HATE the SEC come September 2011. Auburn's gonna kill em in the Championship game, then LSU will put the beatdown on em next year.
Oregon has not played the caliber of athlete that the SEC produces.....the speed, the quickness, athletisicm....The pool of talent that the SEC covers in scouting is just supreme in comparison.
Auburn will win....(56-35). LSU's season opener Vs. Oregon.......LSU 39 Vs. Oregon 20!!!! GEAUX TIGERS!!!! GEAUX SEC!!!!!!!
Ducks fans are going to be hatin' life on 9/4/2011 when they get back to back losses to SEC teams.
i will be there
Everyone seems to count out the ducks & well... we always seem to suprise ya!!!
Oregon found out how tough the SEC is when they got beat by Auburn. I know the score was close, but Auburn pretty much controlled the game, but didn't maximize their scoring opportunities. LSU is gonna beat Oregon too, because they're got a BOATLOAD of talent coming back, and they've got GREAT talent being added for next year. Won't predict the score, but LSU tigers are gonna eat some ducks! Geaux Tigers!!
"Auburn pretty much controlled the game, but didn’t maximize their scoring opportunities."
Did you not watch the game? Oregon had more missed scoring oppertunities than Auburn did. Oregons Defense made Newton look like a Rookie with Jitters. That was not the cam newton that Id seen all season. He was to jittery with the Oregon Defense; even said himself it was the mist underrated defense in college football. Auburn got a HUGE break with that BS run where everyone thought he was down and stopped playing for a quick second. Even your HB thought he himself was down. It that play had gone the other way, it would have been overtime. I dont think a last second fieldgoal to win it is showing the Ducks how tuff the SEC is. What a joke. If anything, Auburn saw how tuff the ducks were and held on by the skin of their teeth.
I will be at that Tiger - Duck game, and I can tell you this, Oreogon is going to come out with something to prove. When they are in that mind set, few mistakes will be made and they will steam roll.. This game is not National Championship jitters, this is smack em back football; and it all starts 9-4
Oregon is the team that did not maximize scoring opportunities, not the other way around.
Geaux tigers!!! Will b another loss to the S.E.C for the quackers!!!
F-ck the SEC. Barely squeaked one out against the Ducks- they still put up 450+ yards on Auburn and the only reason they didn't win 3 differetn times is because of 2 goal line stands and a redzone pick. Auburn's good but no more of this BS saying SEC "dominates". A 3-point win on the buzzer after a freakish 40 yard run where the guy should've been down doesn't equal domination.
I call 75 rushing yards a a$$ whipping. Did you see the "where you think you going" tackle of your famous 21. He got OWNED!!!!! pAC 10 IS OVERRATED AND PLAYS A WEAK CONFRENCE! DUCKS KEEP FLYING AND THE SEC WILL ENJOY THE FUTURE DUCK HUNTS. WISH I COULD FIND A DUCK LEASE LIKE THE ONE IN EUGENE! SITTING DUCKS
SEC is weak. When Florida and LSU played for their national championships they were not the best time, they just had a coach who politicked better than Pete Carrol. USC in those years would have destroyed either team. Alabama was the exception. Auburn is lucky for TV timeouts.
pac 10 sucks.........LSU-40 OREGON- 19
