Pregame: 43 minutes until kickoff
Just took a quick tour of field level at Reser Stadium and it’s not full yet, but it is definitely a Civil War atmosphere.
Quick update on the food here at press level: Hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and potato salad. An OK spread, but not like the ones at Autzen, which had lasagna in the last two home games. The box is a little squeezed in here as well, and the seats for ODE sports got stuck in the very right side of the box, so it’s a little hard to see within the 20 yard line.
There have been more than 300 media credentials issued for this game. ESPN, Sports Illustrated have a spot in press row. (ODE Sports will try to network.)
Here’s what I’m thinking. Quizz is not going to play. At least I saw him on the field in a sweatshirt with his jersey over it while his teammates warmed up. With him out, I don’t have enough confidence in Ryan McCants to power their running game. I do, however, believe Lyle Moevao is very very capable of finding seams throughout the Oregon secondary, which I believe will happen. That said, the turf is dry today, which can only help Oregon’s LeGarrette Blount and Jeremiah Johnson. Don’t forget about Masoli’s legs, either.
