Ducks will cruise past Buffs with 'style'
They are called "style points" and as long as
Oregon is No. 2 in the human polls and No. 6 in the computers, the Ducks are probably going to need them heading into next week's big showdown with No. 9 USC at the Coliseum. Last week, Oregon led
Arizona State 43-7 and coach Chip Kelly decided to show a little mercy. The BCS computers didn't; Kansas State jumped over the Ducks into the No. 3 spot.
None of this is good news for
Colorado, which has given up 246 points in its past five games (and one of those was a 35-34 victory against Washington State). Oregon, conversely, is second nationally in scoring with 51 points per game. And here's the really scary part of this game if you're Colorado: The Ducks rarely attempt field goals. In seven games, Oregon has scored 49 touchdowns and has kicked only four field goals.
