Do you believe in miracles?

Keys to victory:

1. Oregon gets lost on the way to the stadium;

2. Several Ducks get suspended prior to the game.

3. The referees forget that the Oregon Ducks are the "darlings" of the PAC12;

4. Oregon hits all the bars in Tempe the night before the game;

5. We catch some breaks.

6. Likens throws out the old playbook.

7. Oregon comes in overconfident and unprepared.

8. Our defense has their best game of the season, starting in the first quarter.

9. The Oline manages to protect Jayden Daniels and keeps him in the game for all 4 quarters.

Am I missing something?

I read Danny Gonzalez had the idea of a live scrimmage 20 minutes before the game. :p

Guess this idea has been vetoed.

Surreal that this will already be my last game unless we make a bowl.

Here is some player personnel information for the game.

This is an excerpt from a Jeff Metcalfe article at azcentral:

Cam Philips, one of ASU's starting safeties, will return from a concussion to play against Oregon. That's significant since it allows Kobe Williams to return to cornerback in a rotation with Chase Lucas and Jack Jones, on paper strengthening the secondary overall.

But now defensive end George Lea is out with a season-ending knee injury (he's scheduled for surgery Dec. 3) and defensive tackle Shannon Forman has been out of practice although he's expected to be available Saturday.

Gonzales said true freshman defensive lineman Stephon Wright and Amiri Johnson might be asked to play beyond the four-game limit to still redshirt provided they and their families agree with that decision.

There is the Arizona game. If the Devils win one of the next two they are eligible for a bowl. Am I missing something?

Hopefully they are not basting us like a Thanksgiving turkey.

Our local radio guy here in Medford was saying today he was scared that Herm and Marvin Lewis would come up with a scheme to out smart the young Oregon coaches.

That would be great, but the players still gotta play.

Of course the question would be why didn't Herm figure it out earlier. I hope they are right.

I am not sure Herm nor Marvin have a ton to do with game plans. I could be wrong although maybe they are heavy in game planning but on game day the OC and DC are calling the shots

A flag by Devils stops a big gain.

Now a second flag.

They can't do that and expect to win.
