This game is a story of two teams going in opposite directions. The Ducks were bumped from a No. 16 preseason ranking to off the Top 25 after the harsh loss to Boise St. Not only did Oregon take one on the chin, but RB LeGarrette Blount landed one on the chin of Boise St DE Byron Hout. A knock out punch than knocked Hout to the ground and Blout to the showers for the season. A major loss for any team more-so a team that could only muster an avg of 1.5 first downs per quarter in their first matchup.The Boilermakers ran the ball for a total of 315 yards and crossed the goal-line seven times against an inferior squad from Toldeo. Ralph Bolden looked great picking up 234 rushing yards and two TDs. The Boilermakers certainly won't see that kind of offensive production this week but to be showing a line at BetUS of +12 vs a struggling team like Oregon seems like a good cover. Purdue has only failed to cover once ATS vs Pac10 teams in the last five matches.Purdue +12
