Oregon/Colorado Preview

I will admit it I have seen about 5 minutes of CU this year and can name hardly any of their players. From all the stats and results of this year, not to mention the point spread, I have no reason to think Oregon will have any problems winning this game. So for non-gambling Oregon fans what are the things to look for in this almost assured to be a blow-out game? Health. Can Oregon survive this game without an injury to a key player? The Ducks have been not as lucky this year as they were in 2010 with avoiding the injury bug. All Duck fans have to hope that no one goes down against CU and if they do it is not for any long period of time. Second biggest question is QB play. I think it is safe to say that DT will be starting but could we see Bryan Bennett after halftime or even earlier? Hopefully Oregon can get up 21 or 28 by half and let BB get some throwing time which he hasn’t had much time to showcase. Third can Oregon break 300 yards rushing again? I think the chances are quite good and I think that Kenjon Barner will get over 200 yards as LMJ sits another game. I’d like to see Tra Carson get some more carries this week and facing a less than stellar defense missing its top linebacker I think the chances are good. Final score Oregon 58 Colorado 22.
