Oregon vs Colorado Game Preview

Why Oregon Will Win

No one’s stopping the Oregon offense right now.

QB Bo Nix is playing like a possible Heisman candidate, the running game is averaging close to six yards per pop, and Colorado can’t and won’t stop any of it.

The Buffaloes slowed down the Arizona State running game last week – and they didn’t do anything against the passing attack. They were okay against the Oregon State passing game, and got run over for 270 yards.

Oregon can figure out what it wants to do, it won’t have to take any major chances, and the ultra-efficient passing of Nix will convert on just about every third down play against the worst D in the nation in third down stops.

Why Colorado Will Win

What can Colorado do to make this interesting?

The passing game hasn’t been bad lately. It doesn’t connect on enough throws, and there might not be enough third down conversions, but JT Shrout has been able to push for over 200 yards in the last two games and the ground game is adding just enough to matter.

The Oregon defense hasn’t been as good as the talent.

The run D got powered on by UCLA and secondary struggled a bit too much against Cal.

It’s going to take a slew of Duck turnovers to give the Buffs any sort of a shot. Oregon gave up two picks last week, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Nah. Oregon might not always be smooth, but it’s not going to screw up enough to give Colorado enough of a chance.

The Duck offense will go on a second quarter scoring burst to take control, Colorado won’t have enough offense to keep up, and Nix will be a machine on third downs in the second half to pull away.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Oregon vs Colorado Game Preview


Why Colorado Will Win

Oregon hasn’t exactly been playing up to its capabilities.

It’s still in the mix for the College Football Playoff – it’ll almost certainly be in by winning out – and it’s coming off a terrific win over UCLA, but it’s got the strange ability to play up or down to its competition, and the moment.

Forget the 41-19 final score against Arizona – that was scary for about 40 minutes. The 24-17 win over Cal was too close, and the team let Stanford hang around and it proved costly.

Colorado’s defense is the best in the Pac-12 on third downs, the secondary isn’t bad, and the team doesn’t screw up with a lot of penalties and takeaways, but …

College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 9

Why Oregon Will Win

Yeah … the Colorado offense. It’s not very good.

It’s the worst in the country averaging just 238 yards per game. It managed just 104 yards in the ugly 26-3 loss to Cal last week, and it failed to get to 300 yards against anyone but Arizona or Northern Colorado – the team’s two wins.

How much fire is Oregon going to have? If it brings its full and undivided attention, it should be able to get this done in about a quarter.

For all of the inconsistencies, the Ducks are strong in turnover margin, they get the big plays and burst when needed, and the defensive front is starting to find a groove with the parts relatively healthy and doing a great job against the run.

Colorado doesn’t have a passing game to do much damage.

College Football Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews, Week 9

What’s Going To Happen

Oregon will be Oregon and won’t quite make this as easy as it should be, but the Colorado will help the cause by continuing to not do much of anything against a decent D.

The Ducks will get out early, take a nap for a while, and then rise back up with a big burst in the second half to put this well out of reach. Colorado won’t get the breaks needed to make this interesting.
