Northwestern ran the ball on Oregon to start the game. If Northwestern can run the ball so can Minnesota. Oregon then changed their defense to stop the run forcing NW to go to the passing game. The problem is - NW isn't very good in the passing game. Lindsey will carve up Oregon if they try to stop the Gopher's run game. Oregon has some speed and will probably score but MN will dominate ToP so the Ducks will not have all of the opportunities they usually have. Oregon's only hope is to get Minnesota into a shoot out and hope their QB and receivers make fewer mistakes than the Gopher receivers and QB. I don't think that will happen - MN will just grind them down. Minnesota will upset Oregon! You read it here first!

If the game was at MN, I’d lay heavy money on MN. Oregon is overrated and has no chance at a Natty. I don’t think they are top 5, maybe not top 10.

Love ur optimism ! I like our overall D but I am concerned about the Ducks team speed.

Also I’m guessing the grass was long at Northwestern today taking away from the speed they normally play on turf.
 

Formula for beating Oregon will be the same is it is every time we go against a top team like them. Need to play perfect and catch some breaks. If that happens we have a shot, if it doesn't we will be in a rough spot due to the talent disparity.
