I'd take seven wins, though I would prefer 8 or 9. It seems like offensively we have to do more than trying to run out the clock with conservatism starting midway through the third quarter. However, Chase has usually put us in a position to win on the last drive several times. Worked against SC and Washington, didn't work against Stanford and OSU last season due to flukey plays against us.

Why would you take such a controversial position?!

To elaborate a bit on Garbers, he runs the two minute drill as well as any college QB I've ever seen. Doesn't have the best arm strength or accuracy but delivers the W's - USC, Stanford, Washington oftentimes on the opponents' field. Ice water in the veins.

Of course. It's because of their historical trends and talent. But we almost beat UO two years ago with a backup QB and beat them in 2020. USC has beat us twice and we have beat them once, in LA, since Wilcox became head coach. We can beat both of these teams.
