Halftime Report: Defensive woes

First Half Thoughts: Man oh man did they trash our defense. We looked foolish out there and I was embarrassed. But now I think our D is finally starting to catch on, and it showed in the final two drives when we made them three-and-out both times. Darron Thomas looks alright, not great, but he's doing well for playing in Neyland with all the noise and whatnot.  He's made a few overthrows but nothing horrible. The receivers have been dropping passes left and right though, and that's unacceptable!

Second Half Outlook: The D will continue to let the short passes slip through, but that's the Duck's game: ignore the small gains and focus on eliminating the large ones. If the run D can show up then I think we should be alright. This is Oregon people, the burners will turn on eventually.

Adjusted Final Score: Oregon 34, Tennessee 23

Gameday Post...GO DUCKS!

The game will be kicking off in 2 hours and it's time to make my official prediction. I'm going with Oregon 31 to Tennessee's 17

Although the Duck's defense is undersized, they're still so much quicker than Tennessee's offense. I think the Duck's spread is good enough to confuse the D, and if we have to air it out, I have total faith in DT.  The only problem I can see DT having is the crowd noise. But, I think he'll handle it! GO DUCKS!
