I think this is good news for us that it is an early game (at least for Oregon).
The game that always sticks out in my mind was the 2001 Georgia game that started at around 12:00 and the crowd and the team were just out of sync. I think it is easier for an away team to play an early game rather than a late game.
This is not me saying we are going to win - but give me two weeks before the game and I probably will.
