#5 Oregon vs Stanford: Preview

   For the past two years Oregon has been high in the rankings with a national championship bid on the line, and have gotten it thrown away by one team: Stanford. Once again, Oregon is up there and in the spot to play in the first college football playoffs, and once again they face Stanford. If Oregon can beat Stanford, they will control the PAC-12 North and control their fate for the playoffs. If they can not win, they are done. However, Stanford is not the team that can hang on to the football for 45 minutes in a game. Unlike last year, they don't have those powerful running backs that can run through our defensive line. Stanford is not ranked at 5-3, they seem like a normal team that Oregon can run over. But I don't believe it is going to be that easy. I believe we can do it but we need to do it mentally, and stay focused for the big game. This is not the huge top 10 match up we thought it would be at the beginning of the season, but it is, once again, just as important.


  Kickoff is scheduled for 4:30 on FOX. Radio that will be AM (590) and PM (96.1).

 If the Ducks can win this game they can go to the playoffs, and will most likely be in the top four. I'm not saying Stanford will be easy, but I'm saying that if there is ever a time to beat Stanford, it would be right now.

  Prediction:
Oregon 31 - Stanford 13


- Go Ducks!
