NU getting the big ten to put their bye week in Week 2 is hurting us here. Yeah, we got an extra week of revenue at our shiny new stadium. But it’s a killer for injuries.
Game Thread: No. 20 Northwestern at Oregon

Well I got coach said we can win every game and we can lose any game left on our schedule. I'm not sure we can win any game anymore but I think it's possible we could lose any game left. There's some teams ahead of us playing pretty well right now. With our defense is messed up and injured as it is it's going to be hard to beat Iowa and Minnesota right now.
Himan has been struggling for the last three games, Tean are spying him knowing that he is fast but not strongenought to break tackles.
What a disgusting 2nd half. Can't say we didn't see this coming. Iowa will run for 300+ yards against us. Riola is not good but he will beat us for a 2nd time.
Wisky was flat after after beating USC. Iowa was mad after losing to Minn. Things may be different next week.
Wow that's an interesting graphic Oregon only has one penalty for 5 yards
Not sure it'll carry week to week in this league. Iowa has been almost Jekyll and Hyde offensively from week to week, and fortunately we get them at home.
Also the missed INT before halftime that turned into an Oregon reception and then TD. That was tough.
Hopefully, we pull off an upset here in the last 90 seconds, but you guys are over the top. It’s really hard to win on the road. Oregon actually is a very good team. We are a tough team! We’re not perfect but this year nobody is. Have some pride in your team. Whatever happens in these last 90 seconds next week is a new week. Don’t be one of those ******** who can’t handle themselves if we’re not going to the playoffs.
It's over.
Folks it's hard to win on the road, and these teams don't play the same from week to week. We're also a banged up team that went toe-to-toe with Oregon for much of this game.
Before the season we would have been multiple TD underdogs to this Oregon team; they're still as talented as Ohio State across the board and there's not many teams like that.
We were expect to win 5.5 games this season; we're already over that. Even if we don't make the playoffs, no reason for people to be upset. Oregon played far better than they did the past month; if we got them last month, we probably beat them but that's how football goes.
Next 2 games will be equally difficult as this game. Just gotta hope that we can put together a full game against Iowa (better than Wisconsin did today - another example of teams that play totally different from week to week or based on whether home or away).

That was a good game. At the bef=gining of he season I would not have hoped to be so strong and close at Oregon. There is alot of season left and we will get some players back, I'm ;ookig forward to it.
Somehow the BT or NCAA or somebody royally screwed us
Did our A department try to fight this? Who in the nation has a bye week after week one?
We got exposed today. The talent disparity of back ups was evident and we still can’t figure out how to pressure the opposing qb at all. Still hoping for a 8-4 season and a nice bowl game.
Go cats!
Go cats!
I mean... it's not shocking. We were never a true Top25 team. We've played a cupcake schedule except IU. We're a 6, maybe 7, win team this season. That means a bowl. I'll take it.
Pretty sure they did that to try to get as many home games in the new stadium as possible; they weren't sure when the stadium would be built so they pulled the bye week up.
Exactly. Hopefully Fitz and Flakes are back next week. Prepare for the Hawkeyes, and go out and beat them.
Disagree. We are very much a top 25 team but so is Oregon. If they’ve got their stuff together, they’re gonna win a lot more games this season.
At the beginning of the season I remember one person on the board saying that we might get to six and one to start and then lose the remaining five. Hopefully that doesn't transpire.
