  1. Oregon vs. Utah: 'Tale of the Tape' for No. 8 Ducks vs. No. 13 Utes The intensity is being ramped up once again for fans of the Oregon Ducks. After a relatively laid-back week against the Washington State Cougars, Dan Lanning and his team travel down to Salt Lake City this weekend to take on the No. 13 Utah Utes in a high-intensity game that will draw the eyes of the nation to Rice-Eccles Stadium. ESPN’s ‘College GameDay’ will be there, and the No. 8 Ducks will have an opportunity to prove that they can get the job done against a top-rated team on the road, setting themselves up in a great position to make it to the Pac-12 Championship Game, and potentially the College Football Playoff as well It’s not going to be easy, but based on the matchup, this is a game that the Ducks should be able to win if they stay true to form and play their own game. To get a closer look at the specific areas where Oregon will need to perform well, let’s break down the tape and look at the numbers on paper. Oregon vs. Utah: ‘Tale of the Tape’ for No. 8 Ducks vs. No. 13 Utes DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM A breakdown of the numbers and specific matchups that will be important when the Oregon Ducks face the Utah Utes this weekend.

  7. College football predictions Week 9: Florida-Georgia, Oregon-Utah lead top picks Final picks for this week's biggest games. OREGON -7 AT UTAH Hummer (Oregon -7) — This is a tough spot for Oregon. The Utes just don’t lose at home. They’ve won 18 straight and 29 of their last 30 in Salt Lake City, a stretch that includes multiple wins against top 10 Oregon teams. But this one should be different. As well coached as Utah is and as good as Utah’s defense is, it doesn’t have the offensive firepower to keep up with Oregon. The Utes rank 101st nationally in yards per play. Oregon ranks third. Yes, Utah’s toughness often closes the talent gap in this series – in fact, the Utes have often just run over the Ducks in recent years – but I think Oregon’s offensive firepower is too much to overcome. … Oregon 28, Utah 20. Crawford (Utah +7) — Betting against Utah is dangerous, especially with the Utes playing at home, where they've won 18 straight — so we're not doing it here. The Ducks have more firepower offensively, but considering this one's a must-win for both teams with a lot on the line, I'll take the home team getting a touchdown. This is not a preferred play by any means in Week 9, but I feel there's value here with the rare opportunity you can get the Utes with points in Salt Lake City. ... Oregon 31, Utah 30.

  16. No. 8 Oregon, No. 13 Utah clash in likely elimination match Both teams are 6-1 overall and 3-1 in the Pac-12. The team that loses falls out of national championship consideration. “Big game in the conference picture,” Utes coach Kyle Whittingham said his Monday news conference. “They’re a one-loss team, as are we. Both our backs are to the wall. Hopefully it will be a great football game.” Utah’s lone blemish is a 21-7 defeat at then-No. 19 Oregon State on Sept. 29. The Ducks lost 36-33 at then-No. 7 Washington in a battle of unbeatens on Oct. 14. Oregon coach Dan Lanning shares Whittingham’s view that it’s a must-win game.

  20. Agree with Log Haulin in OC growth. Do we need growth/expantion in Will Stein's play-calling? Has it become too predictable, especially in first quarter and red zone production? Oregon's first quarter points in 2023 ranks 6th, 10.5 points. But, in the last three games 3.7 points. "Oregon’s offense continues to rank in the top 10 in every meaningful statistic, except inside the red zone." "Statistically speaking, the Ducks lead's the country in total offense and are second in scoring and top the Pac-12 in rushing, pass efficiency, third down and sacks allowed. Yet when they get inside the 20-yard line the Ducks drop to 51st (86.5%)." "UO’s touchdown percentage in the red zone (72.97%) ranks 20th, but against five Power Five teams it’s 34th (65.38%)." "Usually the top offenses in the country over the past several years typically also rank highly in red zone scoring. In 2022, Tennessee led the country in total offense and was third in red zone scoring. Ohio State was 12th in red zone scoring but 45th in touchdown percentage in 2021. LSU was 2nd in red zone scoring in 2019 and Oklahoma was 9th in 2018." "Defensively, Oregon’s pass defense has gone from 5th nationally after five games to 56th following back-to-back games against the top two passing offenses in the country." But on the positive note, if Khyree Jackson can come back from the off the injury list, pass defense will be elevated. Having a healthy Jestin Jacobs in the line-up in LB position will only improve our defensive production overall. Just things to ponder.
