After a seamless travel day, it's now lights out in the hotel for the Ducks as they rest up for their lone non-conference road game of the year later today in West Lafayette.

The team was very business-like all day and appears focused on this game. Not to say that anyone was overlooking Utah State, but I think the general consensus is that Saturday's clash with the Boilermakers will likely be UO's toughest test to date.

There is one minor (or major, depending on your preference) change to the last post. Instead of white from head to toe, the Ducks are going to attempt to exorcise the UCLA demons from last year and go white helmets, white jerseys and green pants. The Oregon defense had arguably its best game of 2007 with that combo, but the offense could barely muster a first down in Pasadena. If they can't move the sticks against Purdue, then it's definitely the uniform combo.

Despite the humid and rainy conditions, the field was in pristine conditions during Oregon's walkthrough on Friday night.
