Duck Football Hype

Tomorrow, it's the Washington Huskies. After last week, I'm tempted to think "easy win", but I've been watching the Ducks for too many years to know that will happen. For one, there's the rivalry... the Huskies will come ready to play. Bragging rights for the NW are on the line. Then, there's the sad (but true) tendency for the Ducks to play to the level of their competition. This is the last barrier that the program needs to overcome before they can be counted as one of the nations elite football programs.

We'll find out tomorrow if they are going to take a step in that direction.
