FishWrap Friday Game 8 Preview: Oregon vs. WSU

Josh Schlichter FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

Washington State, the real surprise of the PAC 12 this season, looks to knock off Oregon in Autzen and spoil the Ducks’ homecoming game. While unlikely, the Cougars hold more of a shot this year than you would think.

Check out this week’s video breaking down the rather unique Wazzu Offense.

Predictions:

I expect WSU to do some things right in this game, but then they’ll do too many things wrong to keep it close. Should be interesting to see how the defense can adjust without Cliff again, or bringing LMJ or DT back into the mix. Perhaps a reappearance of the Triple Tailback Threat? Or maybe the Double Pistol? Should be fun to step back into the spread offense laboratory. A big win is on the horizon for the Ducks, but it won’t feel like as much of a blowout as it will look in the final box score.

Oregon: 52

WSU: 13

For the Exciting 2024 Football Season….

We will be publishing between four and six articles per week during the football season, as we skip Saturdays with all the distraction of GameDay for us. Check through the week, and in particular check for Analysis articles on most Fridays.

The Our Beloved Ducks Forum (OBD) is where we we discuss the article above and many more topics, as it is so much easier in a message board format over there.  At the free OBD forum we will be posting Oregon Sports article links, the daily Press Releases from the Athletic Department and the news coming out every day.

Our 33 rules at the free OBD Forum can be summarized to this: 1) be polite and respectful, 2) do not tell anyone what to think, feel or write, and 3) no reference of any kind to politics. Easy-peasy!

OBD Forum members….we got your back.  No Trolls Allowed!
