Pregame Report:

Oregon and Wyoming  will start the day on one of the earliest games this season for both teams. It is an eleven am kickoff at Autzen Stadium for the 2-0 Ducks and the 2-0 Cowboys. Both teams are coming off dramatic wins. For Oregon last weekend it was a second half comeback against Michigan State led by Heisman Candidate Marcus Mariota who put the team on his back and pulled out a gritty win.

Wyoming scored a touchdown in the final seconds against Air Force to pick up the win. The road for the Cowboys does not get any easier this season. They face the Ducks today, then face Florida Atlantic and a trip to Michigan State to face the Spartans. Perhaps Wyoming Head Coach Craig Bohl could pick up some tips today on how to beat Spartans. Wyoming enters as the least penalized team in the entire country, picking up just three fouls for nineteen yards on the season. When you compare these two teams, it not even close.

The Oregon Ducks have the talent, with Wyoming having talented athletes at key positions, including at Quarterback where Senior Colby Kirkegaard has thrown sixty two percent of his passes for completions. The Cowboys also have two Wide Receivers with over one hundred yards, not in a game, but through two games this season.

Dominic Rufran has one-hundred forty four yards on the season(he did have a 100 yard game last weekend against Air Force), and Tanner Gentry is also over the one-hundred yard mark for the season. The Cowboys also have two Running Backs that broe the one-hundred yard mark in Shaun Wick and D.J. May. The game last weekend marked the three-hundredth win at home for Wyoming.

The Oregon Ducks enter the game continuing to break records and set milestones and a big one could come with a victory today. Oregon is just one win away from having fifty wins this decade and would be the first team to the mark, ahead of Florida State, Alabama and Stanford. Oregon Quarterback Marcus Mariota is also making his mark on the record books early in the 2014 season.
