I am a die hard Beaver Fan and didn't exactly enjoy this years Civil War.

I am interested in just how good others think the Ducks are.

I think a strong showing in the National Championship would be great for the Pac 10 of what ever the hell they're calling it next year.

Anyway the Beav's really sucked this year. Now I can start fresh with high hopes for next year.

Go Beav's 2011

Their fast offense with multiple weapons is what buries teams in the second half.
Their conditioning is part of it....you will see opposing defenses sucking wind and unable to make substitutions.

There was an ol' SEC coach, Vince Dooley, on the local radio show this week and he said he has never seen anything like it.
Auburn's offense is fast too, but not as.

Not good enough to beat Auburn.

Ducks haven't faced a passing game as good as Newton... Stanfords passing game is good but not Auburn good....

Special teams had better pick it up for the ducks as well...

The Ducks are good enough to have made it to the BCS Championship! The match up with Auburn should be interesting. I think the Ducks held back the last few games on the option side of the game (Darron Thomas running) to avoid a Dennis Dixon type injury possibility, but they should let it all out for Auburn.

They should be able to score plenty of points, but Cam Newton and the Auburn offense is freaky good as well, so the Duck's Defense will have to step up. It's too early to predict a score, but if everybody is healthy (should be) it should be a great game.

As for the Beavs, they are where the Ducks were for much of the 70's and 80's, good coach, good players, but not enough good players deep enough so injuries make a difference from early in the season. They need more depth and more quality impact players, but it is so tough to compete with warm weather schools and with the facilities just down the road in Eugene.

If the Ducks come out firing on all cylinders, they can win this game.

However, the Ducks aren't known for playing their best football in bowl games, as we were reminded last year.

As much as I'd like to see the Pac-10 team kick the SEC team's ass, Duck fans would be simply insufferable if the Ducks win the NC. Therefore, I'm an Auburn fan for this game.

Go Tigers.

If QB Darron Thomas doesn't crack under the pressure, the Ducks should be fine.

This will be a pretty serious challenge for the Ducks. This Auburn team doesn't believe it can lose...they can come back from deep deficits. Auburn would have to be attacked/demoralized early and then they could still come back.

Cam Newton is 6'-6", weighs 250 and is very quick.
If he gets to the second level he's very hard for a DB to deal with.
The Ducks linebackers will have to play a whale of a game keeping Newton contained. Ducks linemen will need to hurry Newton often.

He is also an accurate passer. South Carolina focused on stopping the run and their secondary was obliterated by the Auburn passing attack.
Darvin Adams is their best receiver and will be a game-long threat.
His work helped to blow up the ol' ball coach's plans yesterday.

Auburn defensive tackle Nick Fairley is a disruptor and the Ducks O-line will have to account for him on every play.

That's my take from what little I have seen of Auburn.
Wish I knew where to find some game footage of these guys (Auburn).
Jan 10 is a ways away.

ESPN 3. Should be able to see all Auburn's games or WSU's.

I'll check it out, thanks.
I have streamed games in real time on ESPN3 but didn't know that there were archives available.

They say that games are archived for 24 hrs - 1 week.
Couldn't find any Auburn stuff.

Here's a peek at the 'Bama game.

*ucks are good, but overrated. They had a pretty easy schedule this year, and I think Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Ohio and auburn could all wipe the floor with them. Contrary to popular belief, they do have many weak spots.

GO AUBURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Twitch, if you don't stop crying the home creek will be out of shape all winter !

Dan, I'm dyin' here. It's not too late. Would you REALLY see the SEC team win??

Say it isn't so!!

And the same to you.

Coming from a Beaver, I hope the Ucks get killed by Auburn. Why the hell do we kick TWO field goals when we're on the 5 yard line and losing! Ughhh screw football it's time to fish.

Twitchy Baby, You're killing me!!!
Twisted logic: Don't we want the team that beat the Beavs to beat Auburn?

Yes,Yes, Yes!

I like "It's time to fish."

Tight lines, everyone!!
