Will you get on the Duck bandwagon now, or will you have to wait for them to beat USC? In regards to your comment above:

“…Ducks squad that had a misleading win against UCLA benefitting from 3 TD’s in the first 5 minutes of the 2H on a KR, IR TD and a short drive after a fumble.”

Maybe it isn't misleading if the Duck defense and special teams are really good. Consistent scoring from the D & ST seven games in to the season is not a fluke. Expect it to continue.

Outside of the Cal game, which was a kitchen sink game and they dominated, Oregon has needed a lot of touchdowns coming from places other than their offense. newknox…

Seems you picked Uconn for 325 yards per game pre season and you are sticking to it no matter what. But 122 yards is pretty low. Actually if Uconn gets smoked (which could happen) then Uconn will get lot of yards as will be getting the ball back a lot of time (funny but that's what historically happens), Would be happy to hold WV to 28 points as against the "Uconn prevent defense" WV speed makes one missed tackle/assignment = 6 points. Not sure WV defense isn't also prone to big mistakes and I call Uconn 1st win vs WV at 31 to 27. Uconn should rush for more than you predict.
