I've got a odd feeling about this one. 38-30 Ducks. When their talent is not overwhelmingly superior the real Tommy shows up.
I don't think he is referencing recent success on the field...at least I hope not.
Should be interesting. I have to root for the B1G and would consider it a toss up. There's the x-factor of Tommy that makes any prediction or bet that includes Nebraska a crap shoot.
I do like the idea of the B1G West getting what will be seen nationally as a quality win.

I am guessing recruiting but that has not been close either. Oregon has dropped the past two years but from teens to twenties in team recruiting rankings.
That's fine but I can't bring myself to root for Nebraska. I guess it would be a consolation if they win. The B1G West already has the best OOC win of the year so far. We did last year too with NW's win over Stanford.
Actually there aren't any current high school kids that would be old enough to remember a time when that was a legitimate possibility.
Most of those folks are over 40 that think that way
Oregon is in the top 25 right now so it's a great opportunity to get a quality win against a ranked opponent. Lose this at home and it will be unfortunate- but have no bearing on the B1G season.
Mike Riley started 4-6 at Nebraska. Since then, Nebraska is 5-1 with wins over Michigan State and UCLA.
That 1 loss was to Iowa. That's a compliment. Iowa has been playing very mistake-free, good football, especially with CJ B at QB. Neb lost by 8 to a good, hot team in Iowa.
Huskers will always be an unsteady team with Armstrong at QB and his subpar decision-making skills. But the team, as a whole, has been winning games and building momentum lately. Still a ways to go, but beating Oregon would make it 6-1 with wins over Michigan State, UCLA and Oregon in the last 7 games.
That would be a nice little stretch for any team. Riley is only starting year 2.

To be fair ray that win over MSU was completely B.S. and those refs should have been hung.
After taking a closer look at Nebraska's first two games I don't think they beat Oregon. Wyoming was hanging right with Nebraska into the 3rd quarter until they unleashed a string of turnovers (6) to be exact that made the game seem more lopsided than it was for the majority of the game. Fresno State was also hanging with Nebraska until the second half as well and Armstrong against bad teams is still only completing 56% of his passes. I think Oregon wins a close one 42-39
Doesn't take away from what I was saying. Even if Nebraska had lost a close game to MSU.
And wins over UCLA and Oregon is a good look for the B1G. I guess we'll see....Oregon still has a ton of good athletes and speed everywhere.
If UNL stays with the run game even if not successful early they have a great shot.
