ScoopDuck Roundtable: Keys to the Game

Since we have a later kickoff I figured I’d save this final roundtable for today. The afternoon kickoff is great for Oregon fans looking to tailgate. It’s too bad the weather isn’t looking all that great. Still, we’re Oregonians, we don’t mind some moisture in the air.

Below are our keys to the game. This one is expected to be pretty lopsided but let’s offer our predictions just the same.

——————————————————–

Max Torres: Don’t get complacent

In a game where Oregon holds the clear advantage in almost every way, the Ducks don’t need to over complicate things. Keep it simple and assert your will. Everything Oregon wants is still in front of them and they need to show up and execute at a high level, even against an inferior opponent. That Indiana loss clearly put a chip on their shoulder and they should keep playing with it.

Corpatty: Avoid injuries

The outcome of this game should not be in doubt.  Oregon needs to avoid injuries and come out of this game healthy for next week heading to Iowa.

Ted Leroux: Start Fast

For Oregon, this Saturday’s matchup is all about maintaining the momentum and confidence built up last week. To keep things moving in the right direction, the key is starting fast. If Oregon can feed off the energy of the fans in tie-dye and put Wisconsin in an early hole, the Badgers won’t be able to climb out. The longer Wisconsin stays close, the more confidence they’ll gain—so the sooner the Ducks can shut that down, the better off they’ll be.  

Jhop: More of the Same

Last week was Rutgers and they aren’t a very good football team. Wisconsin isn’t either. I don’t think there is anything you need to change. Don’t get cute. Stick with what works. Stick with what worked last week and I would bet it will work this week. Stay dry everyone.
