Oregon Football: Game-by-game predictions for month of October
Another revenge game for Oregon in Week 9. Following an emotional win over UCLA in which the Ducks will push for the No. 1 ranking in the country, Oregon is going to put a huge on Colorado because, well, that loss last year is still on this team’s mind.
Karl Dorrell is in his second year at the helm of Colorado but this has been a ‘back to reality’ campaign for the Buffaloes and their new head coach after a strong year one. He’s going to get another dose of reality on the day before Halloween. The Buffaloes are going to put up a fight for a quarter and then Brendon Lewis will struggle against this Oregon defense.
Kayvon Thibodeaux is going to live in the backfield and the defense will pick off the young quarterback a couple of times while the offense will have a huge game.
I see almost 200 rushing yards from CJ Verdell here as he really submits his name into the Heisman conversation.
Oregon gets revenge for the second time in a month and improves to 8-0.
Final Score: Colorado 20, Oregon 45 (8-0, 5-0)
