Oregon loses to Illinois. Can we beat a three loss Oregon team next Saturday? Methinks yes.

Oregon certainly looks vulnerable, though they will be pissed and playing at home. Iowa having a fight against Minny, at the moment, too.

One loss, sure I see the "pissed" element. Three losses means "no playoffs" and that can be an energy sapper for a former top 10 team.

I kinda feel for Fitz. MSU has had so many injuries . They lost that #55 kid today who played so well against us. They're on their 3rd QB and 4th RB. Crazy .
They had little chance with their roster this season even before the injuries. He got them up for our game and maybe he could get some good will by beating a weak Michigan team, if MSU has enough players to field a team.

Yeah, we have 1 road win and it took a miraculous finish. We'll deservedly be an underdog in all 3 of our remaining road games. Though we certainly will have a shot in all of them, which I wouldn't have thought possible at the start of the season. The last 5 games will be fun, and a realistic look at where we stand as a program. Great opportunity.

We'll be favored against Minnesota on the road.

At Oregon and at Ohio State are the only games we're underdogs in the rest of the way.

We're favored against Iowa and Illinois at home as well as at Minnesota. Probably small favorites against Iowa and slightly larger favorites against Minnesota/Illinois.

(Just based on what the analytics say; Vegas usually follows those closely).

THey were also without 4 of top 5 WRs, Wonder if they will still be out
Question for me is; if you're a top Oregon player why even come back for this mess? Those guys are all expecting to be drafted eventually..., feels like it could only hurt.

If you had given me a 30% chance to win in Eugene at the start of the season I’d have taken it no question.

We are definitely going to have a chance though it’s a tough game no matter how disappointing the Ducks have been.
Especially since it is there
