Oregon holds all the cards in Civil War matchup

PrintIt's been a quiet week around ATQ, and we haven't said a whole lot about the Civil War. A big part of that is that we don't know how exactly to handle the fact that our team is 11-0, on the verge of playing in the only postseason game that matters.
And most of us are afraid of acknowledging the obvious: Oregon should destroy OSU this weekend. It's football, and anything can happen, but Oregon holds almost all the advantages going into tomorrow's matchup.
While the Ducks are on offense, the Beavers will hold only one significant advantage, Stephen Paea. He gave the Ducks fits last year, and I expect him to be a strong presence in the middle, but outside of that, the Ducks should win. But with DT Brennan Olander and LB Kieth Pankey unlikely to play much, an already weak front 7 for the Beavs will have significant problems. Even if Paea has a strong day, the rest of the Beaver defense will have problems taking advantage of Paea's strong play.
Paea has matched his production this season from last, and increased on that slightly, but the rest of the Beavs haven't helped him at all. OSU is giving up 50 more yards per game on the ground this season, and boast the second worst pass efficiency defense in the conference.
If OSU packs the box, then the Duck receives should be able to take advantage of their one-on-one matchups, and if OSU drops back, the Ducks will run it all over them. It sounds like OSU DC Mark Banker will be keeping his gameplan very simple, but I just don't think OSU has the talent or depth to be able to execute this type of gameplan. It's their best bet, but it will likely be a losing proposition either way.
And while I'm sure we're all excited to watch the Oregon offense tomorrow, I'm more excited to see how the Oregon defense responds, because this OSU offense is exactly the type of offense this Oregon team has shut down all season.
You can be sure that OSU will get some yards, and move the ball pretty well. But Oregon has thrived all season at getting other teams into 3rd and long opportunities, and forcing them to be one-dimensional. OSU will fall right into that. This season, 12% of their passing plays have resulted in a sack or an interception, up from 7.5% last year. And without James Rodgers (OSU's most explosive and dangerous player), OSU is not prepared to make up for their mistakes.
OSU will try to stretch the field vertically, but they will have a very hard time overcoming their poor offensive line. I'm confident that Oregon will be able to shut down the OSU running game with just their line and linebackers, allowing the secondary to worry about the passing game. Oregon has excelled at this all year, and we will likely see that continue.
If Oregon forces the Beavers to drive the length of the field, I don't imagine that the Beavers will put all that many points up on the scoreboard.
This game shouldn't scare Duck fans. This team is prepared. They have prepared harder and faster than any team in the country, and that is why they are 11-0. They are going to come out motivated, and going to do what they've done all season.
The only reason we're worried is because of what is at stake. And it is college football. Anything can happen. But I have full confidence in this team and coaching staff. They will leave it all on the field tomorrow, no matter the outcome.
So sit back and enjoy it everyone. It's been an amazing year, and we're lucky to watch a great football team. We have one more regular season game to enjoy. So make the most of that. GO DUCKS!

According to Todd McShay…
If [the Beavers] play the best that they can, and take advantage of playing at home, they might keep it within 10 points.

Last night I stopped at a gas station and when the attendant asked how I was, I said “Man I’m just counting down the hours until the Civil War” He looked at me and said “I’ve heard of that, what exactly is it?” I told him “The biggest football rivalry of the year, the Ducks and Beavers” He shrugged and asked “Which school is that?”

Speaking of gas stations...
There is a station in Prineville selling team car flags. The green bin is empty and the orange bin is full. Of note, rural areas of Central Oregon lean heavily to orange, so they seem to have dropped quite a bit of support. All is as it should be.

HEY.
You have NO IDEA how many automotive refilling explosions have been prevented by the strategic deployment of specially safety-trained expert automotive refueling personnel. I can tell you, it’s a number greater than zero. AND WHAT IF IT WAS YOUR MOTHER?
That's "Senator Lazypants" to you, son.
I worked IT for an oil jobber for about 22 years, doing all the computer work, including the billing software for their cardlock accounts. In OR, cardlocks are commercial self-service fueling sites that are administered by the State Fire Marshal. There is a yearly inspection of all accounts that have access to pumping gas (diesel self-serve is ok in OR.) Part of the inspection is a review of customer safety training forms. I was going to visit family in CA about a week after one of the inspections, and brought up that I was afraid to get gas in CA because of all the untrained people pumping their own gas. THE INSPECTOR TOOK ME SERIOUS and agreed. Given the news cycles, I think we would all hear about any stations bursting into flames in any of the 48 states that do allow self-serve.
It is the retail operators that stop self-serve in OR… keeps out competition. At one time retailers and the fire marshall would take pictures of vehicles using the cardlocks. If someone pulled in with a vehicle with a car seat, boat, RV, or no commercial signage, the fire marshall would run the plates to make sure was registered to a business. If not would contact the cardlock operator, requiring proof THAT transaction was legit business fueling… if not, fines.
All this is a big problem in some of the vast expanses of OR where there is not enough business to warrant attended sites… or a store that does pump gas has short hours.

In Oregon, my guess is that the state’s real concern with cardlock users is that they are supposed to be on P.U.C. permits, and no taxes are included in the cost of fuel at a cardlock pump. Follow the money.
That's "Senator Lazypants" to you, son.
They do follow the P.U.C.s pretty close, adding quite a bit of cross reporting about 4 years ago. The big rigs are P.U.C., but most of the accounts of a normal cardlock don’t even have P.U.C. vehicles. The diesel tax / non-tax reporting goes to ODOT, while any account with even just a single card capable of pumping gas is checked by the Fire Marshal. There is a yearly fee for each gas account that goes to the Fire Marshal (internally I called it the FM slush fund) but many of the Gestapo tactics of the FM predated this fund… so the money WAS coming from somewhere, but not the cardlock operators. Also, during those years, most of the inspectors seemed to be ex state detectives… and came into the office like it was a crime scene.
You have to be “commercial”, 900 gallons a year min (earlier years 2000 gallons), have safety training.
There was an AMWAY distributor that actually supported himself with AMWAY. Had to fight to get him allowed as a business… FM said was not a valid business.

There was a time when there was more to a Chevron or Shell than a surly attendant filling your tank and a convenience store selling lottery tickets and Four Loco.
Some of these “service stations” actually had employees, called “mechanics”, who could actually help diagnose and repair vehicle problems. They would also “check the oil”, “check the tires”, and sometimes even “wash the windows”.
I know, it’s hard to believe.
For the record, my dad owned one of these “service stations”, a Richfield at the corner of Fairfield and 99 North in Eugene. So forgive me for getting all sentimental and shit.

I bought a convertible because I’ve always wanted a car that I could jump into and out of.
I soon learned that I’m nowhere near athletic enough to jump into my car without a running start and springboard, and I can’t get enough leverage while sitting to jump out.
So that was a big waste of money.

And yet
Yes, we should win. Yes, our games this season – with one notable exception of Cal – have been done exactly the same way – we either are too good for a team at the start of a game and roll easily (UCLA, New Mexico) or we start a bit slow and then relentless grind the other team into a pulp as the game goes on (basically everything else).
Oregon has been amazingly consistent at what they do. The team is well-coached and well-practiced and well-prepared. The only glaring weakness is the penalties.
And yet.
And yet I remember 2000 and the Beavers destroying Oregon’s hopes.
I remember 2001 and that bizarre Stanford game where Oregon had every single advantage – at home, even! – and still lost a sloppy, weird game.
I remember 2002 and getting blown away after supposedly looking good early.
I remember Jason Fife on the cover of SI after beating Michigan – and going bad the rest of the season.
I remember Kellen Clemens breaking his leg and having to deal with the dual-headed QB monstrosity of Dixon and Leaf.
I remember a promising team that went out and immediately lost to Indiana.
I remember Dixon looking like the second coming of Vince Young and then watching his dreams die at Arizona.
I remember a Cal game in the pouring rain where pass after pass after pass was called by Kelly and Masoli looked completely putrid doing so.
I remember a 2009 season start that had the Ducks looking like the disaster team of the decade. And a 2009 finish that saw us fumble away a chance for a Rose Bowl win at the hands of the guy that made us look so bad early on.
2010 hasn’t seen any misery that would affect the game. Costa was injured, and that sucks hard, but it’s not the same as losing the starter. LMJ and Masoli’s off-field issues (along with the rest of the players) was costly, but at the same time it’s turned into a blessing in disguise (in the same way losing Blount as the starter gained the Ducks LMJ). All signs point to greatness and glory.
And yet I wait for the other shoe to drop. I wait for a game that the Ducks do come out flat in and then never pick it up. I wait for a really really sloppy game that wastes too much time. I wait for that big injury to a star that deflates our hopes.
The Ducks should win. They are a better team. But the better team doesn’t always win.
We are ALWAYS waiting for the other shoe to drop, aren't we?
I agree that this team will be well-prepared, focused and motivated tomorrow . . . even though the beavs have Gameday, are playing at home in their Giant Killer unis on Senior Day with revenge for the last two years on their minds and playing for bowl eligibility . . . have i left anything out? Hopefully we weather the initial onslaught of emotion and put them away early.
I'm nervous something like the above will happen too
even though Ducks should have all the confidence to do anything. We’ll see…

you're right Jared
winning some mythical-made-up-bunch-of-crusty-old-white-guys-driven-marketing-and-TV-oriented-beauty-contest BCS National Championship is so much more important for recruiting exposure sales etc.
Giving credence to the BCS is just as important as giving credence to the Rose Bowl. Your argument is just a warped derivative of the same thing husky fans say.

You keep saying blanket statements like “Bowl Games Don’t Matter” and it just isn’t accurate at all. Every year its the same argument and every year it’s proven that they do matter in a lot of different ways. I look forward to 2011 when you say the exact same thing and we have the same discussion.
You can’t make that blanket statement.

Well, I just quickly saw a report that said the larger bowls, like the Rose Bowl, has a $100 million impact, directly and indirectly on the local area. With smaller bowls, it is significantly smaller – almost negligible as it has as much of a negative impact as it does positive.
It’s spelled "S-H-U-C-A-N-T-W-I-N-T-H-E-W-A-C"
for sure. The Rose Bowl has all kinds of things associated with it. Out of all the bowls, it has traditions that carry over to other aspects of the community… the parade for example, that have a nationwide audience.

While I do make the blanket statement that “bowl games don’t matter,” my contention is that the outcome of bowl games does not have any significant impact on later seasons. They are glorified exhibition games. They have impact in certain areas. But many people overstate their impact in some areas.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
While I agree with you mostly on bowl outcomes, and appreciate your caveat to the “blanket statement”, I would love to hear your explanation on why Boise State’s Fiesta Bowl win last year did nothing to impact their poll position for 90% of this year’s season, especially at the beginning

Well, it obviously affected their position for a good majority of the season, but what good has that done them?
BSU would have been jumped by every single undefeated BCS conference team, and could very well have been jumped by a strong one-loss BCS team by the end of the season.
What I think is most important in this, is that BSU beat TCU in the bowl game, yet voters jumped TCU over BSU when they had a stronger resume. There are voters that took the bowl win into account, but the vast majority did not.

The thing about this is: Why would winning the National Championship be different?

Because it's the National Championship.
Ducks can say they won the fucking Fiesta Bowl. Hell, even a Rose Bowl. But we don’t have the permanently irrevocable* trump card of the MNC. To say there isn’t more cachet in that than a bowl of corn chips or even the Rose is, I think, shortsighted.

Can you remember who won the national championship the last 5 years? I personally don’t think it is too hard to do that.
How about the Orange Bowl?
I can’t even remember who won it last year.
It’s spelled "S-H-U-C-A-N-T-W-I-N-T-H-E-W-A-C"
Right, but what does that have to do with it though?
Texas was in the National Championship last year.
Alabama won the National Championship last year.

This right here is pretty big.
And without James Rodgers (OSU’s most explosive and dangerous player), OSU is not prepared to make up for their mistakes.
Quizz has gotten more national hype, but for the last couple years I’ve been convinced that James was their most important player. He just comes up so big for them in so many big games…
both Quizz and James stepped in to roles that the Beavs have relied on, and always seemed to have – that grind-it-out tough-as-nails Tailback who will automatically get 1000+ yards a season, and that go-to receiver who’s always open when it counts and will be close to the top of the Pac-10 in receiving. Quizz has brought the TB spot to a higher level, but it seems like that go-to receiver has been even more critical to the Beavers’ success.
Hass to Stroughter to James Rodgers… in the 2005 civil war beatdown – an absolute massacre – Hass somehow still got his 100+ yards with Gunderson at the helm. When the 2006 Civil War was on the line, who did they go to? Stroughter down the field, and he pulled it out for them. James has torn it up in big game after big game. Just like James, he could change the game on any given punt return. Looking at last year’s Civil War, Quizz was relatively quiet while James nearly carried the offense. On the critical 4th and 15, everyone knew it was going to James, and he almost made the play.
In sum, the loss of James hasn’t exactly been underrated, but it’s still critical for this game. He was just so central to everything they do. Not just receiving, but when they needed a game-changing punt return, he’d deliver. Wheaton has stepped up, Poyer has stepped up on returns, but none of these guys match what James would have brought to this game. If it is close down the stretch, the most dangerous man on the field for the Beavs would have been James Rodgers, and it’s a big break for the Ducks not having to face him this year.

The thing about this CW,
and I’m trying to be completely objective so as not to tempt Juju, is that Oregon State, talent-wise, was down from past years to begin their injury problems haven’t helped at all. OTOH the Ducks are deeper than at any point and are almost injury-free going into the CW.

The positive note
So okay, there was the negative thing a bit ago. And it’s fair to call the panic police on that one.
So here’s the non-“and yets”.
Could you imagine – ever – Masoli throwing 12 straight completions to start a game?
Could you imagine the Ducks would be down by multiple scores in multiple games and come back to win all of them – BY multiple scores?
Could you imagine that the worst game the Ducks would have all season would be to win at Cal for only the second time in 10 years, and that would be considered a down game?
Or that blowing out Washington State with our second-string QB at WSU by 20 would also be a letdown?
Or that Oregon played a sloppy, chippy game against the Huskies, and it was disappointing that Oregon only won by…37?
Could you imagine that losing the starting, Pac-10 QB before the season started would be a good thing?
Could you imagine that Oregon has a Heisman-quality running back – and that he’s not even the most important player on the team?
Could you imagine that ESPN would feature the Ducks on College gameday three times?
Or that Oregon would dominate the polls and be the #1 team in the nation for 7 weeks straight?
Could you imagine that there was not one single major broadcast that talked about Oregon’s jersey combinations and how silly their uniforms looked?
Could you imagine going to a SEC team and beating them by 35 at their home? Any USC team? Even Vanderbilt?
Could you imagine that the Ducks would repeat as the single Pac-10 champion?
In the first two years of a new coach’s reign?
This season.Is.Crazy.

I'd like a word with Auburn's word.
Everyone (by which I mean most pundits everywhere) always calls that the most egregious scenario, but USC’s snub was the absolute worst snub in history. The fact that they won a title that year was a testament to how badly the BCS fucked that one up.
What Auburn missed was the opportunity to get killed by a dominant USC team.
A huge portion of the outrage about Auburn’s snub comes from hindsight, both how bad USC made Oklahoma look in the championship game (while Auburn barely beat VaTech) and the number of championships the SEC has won in the years since.
Someone that year had to get left out, and AT THE TIME there really wasn’t any credible argument that Auburn was MORE deserving of a shot than OU of USC. Which is why the national consensus, Coaches, AP, BCS, had them at #3. Blame it on a stupid system that only has a two-team playoff, but as the consensus #3 team Auburn didn’t get screwed within the rules of the game. Now, USC as the #1 in both polls getting left out while Oklahoma got in WHILE NOT EVEN WINNING ITS CONFERENCE or UO being #2 in the polls and getting left out for Nebraska that DIDN’T EVEN WIN ITS CONFERENCE is a snub. None of the measures that pick the participants thought Auburn was good enough.
And in reality, that’s not much different than all the Utahs and Boise States and TCUs that have been left out despite undefeated records – Auburn was no more technically screwed than any of those teams.
And that’s why, if they were going to award that title to another team after USC vacates, it should go to Oklahoma. Because they were #2, and shouldn’t be punished for being good enough to play #1.
And the BCS is ridiculous.

Know why Auburn was #3?
Because USC started out #1, and Oklahoma started #2, and Auburn in the preseason poll was… #17.
Long as SC and Okie didn’t lose, there was no way Auburn was passing them.
Now, had there been NO polls until week 6 that year, where would these teams have landed in the rankings?
Auburn beat LA-Monroe, Mississippi State, LSU, the Citadel, Tennessee and La Tech.
Okie beat Bowling Green, Houston, Oregon, Texas Tech (all at home) and Texas .
U$C beat Va Tech, Colorado St, BYU, Stanford, and Cal.
At that point, Auburn didn’t belong ahead of either USC or Oklahoma (or even Miami, who was 3rd that week). Sure, they beat a decent Tennessee team, but the rest of that schedule was roadkill. Two Sun Belts and the Keydets? What do they expect?
The only argument for Auburn getting screwed that season is the same one SEC Guy always drags out — “any team that goes unbeaten in the SEC DESERVES a shot at the NC”. Which, of course, is bullshit, but try convincing SEC guy of that.
