Prediction: Oregon 56 Japanese Washington 20

Oregon performs mad, beats up on Japanese Washington. Bo will get his confidence again, throws two touchdowns no less than. Working backs get one other two or three. Oregon offense exhibits what it could possibly do however may get actually conservative In the event that they suppose it’s working.

EWU exposes weak spots for Oregon protection and scores some. That secondary continues to be a legal responsibility. And if they’ll’t include the Eagles they’re in for a tough awakening come BYU and convention play. I feel they shake off the rust, and play mad after they received uncovered final week. They’ll make some large stops. That is the sport they’ve to point out they gained’t get walked throughout.

Graham Metzker

Prediction: Oregon 35 Japanese Washington 21

Japanese Washington is the one FCS opponent the Geese face this season, however don’t let that idiot you. The Eagles are coming to play. 

EWU is presently ranked because the No. 11 group within the newest FCS Coaches’ Ballot after an exciting week one victory over Tennessee State 36-29. EWU quarterback Gunner Talkington was named Massive Sky Offensive Participant of the Week after placing up greater than 400 whole yards of offense and 5 touchdowns final week.

Japanese Washington is extra of a problem than they could appear, however this recreation ought to nonetheless be a simple win for Oregon. I’m anticipating the Geese’ offense to lastly discover the top zone within the first half – and with frequency. However I am not anticipating the Geese to cowl the 20-point unfold laid in entrance of them for a couple of causes.

First, I feel it’s seemingly that Oregon rolls out two, perhaps even three, totally different quarterbacks all through the sport. There gained’t be a better match for such an experiment.

Second, the Eagles confirmed final week that they’ve some late battle in them with Talkington’s 11-play, 75-yard recreation profitable landing drive. I say Oregon will get somewhat too snug, however scores late to keep up a two-score lead.

Prediction: Oregon 42 Japanese Washington 14

This recreation will present followers the sense of urgency that this group feels now after being dominated on each side of the ball final week. Each side of this Geese group want enchancment based mostly off of what we noticed Saturday and Lanning acknowledged that his group is taking that accountability this week to enhance at these spots the place the Geese regarded a bit sluggish.

Even when Japanese Washington is an FCS stage faculty, they’ll nonetheless give the Geese some bother in sure areas particularly by means of the air as this has been an on-going defensive difficulty final season and confirmed itself once more in week one. The Eagles are extra cross heavy, so I’d anticipate them to open that up and check the younger Oregon secondary greater than Georgia did.

The protection might be improved and construct off of this recreation to steer into one other ranked matchup with BYU. The Oregon offense might be lights out and extra sound in relation to execution, particularly Bo Nix and his receivers. Oregon will must be a brand new and improved group for this recreation in the event that they wish to be a real Pac-12 title competitor to redeem themselves from week one.

Prediction: Oregon 45 Japanese Washington 24

It is a show it recreation for the Geese and there is not any two methods about it.

After getting tossed across the subject by Georgia, that is the sport the place the Geese make an announcement and declare their id on each side of the ball. Oregon’s offense could have a a lot simpler time transferring the ball towards Japanese Washington, particularly with the bodily benefit they’ve within the trenches.

Defensively is the place I see this being extra of a check, as Gunner Talkington is a little bit of a dual-threat man. We all know the Eagles wish to cross so much, so this might be an honest check for a younger Geese secondary. 

I am anticipating some large performs from each the offense and protection. For Duck followers you wish to see some turnovers and a few cross rush generated greater than something from Lanning and Lupoi’s unit. I see this being an in depth recreation within the the primary half, however a cleaner recreation from Nix and the Geese’ depth permit them to place this one away and are available away with the win.
