These five Washington Huskies might be the difference between an Oregon win and a UW upset in Eugene.

More than any other game since WSU this game will show everyone how well Oregon can cover (or not) a pass-oriented Offense with a pro-style, or pocket QB .  

 

Not that Penix is totally 'pro-style', but probably more so than others O has seen so far.  I'm hearing anywhere between 60-70% of all Wash's offensive plays will come from the pass and that there will be multiple long shots over the top, deep - like the one that gave Colorado their only (81-yd) TD.

 

I'm expecting Coach DeBoar to sneak a few QB runs into the Offense to catch Oregon off guard while attempting to cover all the passing he going to do.  Even the pros have to run the ball occasionally, if only to avoid the sack and force the opponent to defend against it.

With Oregon's pass defense ranked 117th, and Ewwdubs pass offense ranked #1... I have worries. 

 

DL & TL better put together an excellent defensive strategy for Saturday, or we could suffer a loss.

 

Which would make me want to drink heavily. 

 

 

Hoping for the best. 🦆

Michael Penix Jr. Has Learned That Oregon Is A Team 'That We Don't Like'

 

"We just want to win. That's the main thing for us. For us, we don't have any pressure. I feel like going into the game, we know it's a big game,

we know they're a really good team, but at the same time it's the game of football. It's a rivalry game, it's a big game, we're definitely going to

take that into account, but at the same time we just have to go out there and play our game and things will fall into place."

Dan Lanning playing into the Oregon-Washington rivalry during game preparation

 

With two of the team leaders carrying such vitriol for this contest, it's easy to see how Lanning's seamless

immersion into it took place and how quarterback Bo Nix has no illusions that this is just another game.

 

"There's a lot of guys who were born and raised here in Eugene or in Oregon that have told me a lot about it," Nix said. "So I enjoy hearing

those kinds of stories rather than looking it up and getting the internet stories. I like getting the personal stories and the Oregon player stories."

Jon Wilner's Pac-12 picks: Why Washington-Oregon rivalry is about to become an even bigger deal

 

The Huskies and Ducks are already key players in Pac-12 football. Once USC and UCLA depart in the summer of 2024,

the balance of power will shift forcefully to the upper left corner of the conference footprint.

 

And as the Pac-12 attempts to extract the greatest media value from its remaining schools, the Oregon-Washington rivalry

game stands as the top property available — the only annual matchup the networks can count on for 2.5 million (or more) viewers.

 

The conference needs to maximize it.

Oregon Week is Never Dull for Kirkland, Who's Seen it All


He's won, he's lost, he's had a game cancelled and his coach got fired.

 

"As much as I want to treat it like it's just another game, and it has to be handled that way,

but also you get a little emotional and it certainly means more," he said this week.

 

"Certainly for me, Oregon is in my backyard and I have a lot of friends and family that did go there,

but as you know I'm Washington and it's in my blood through and through."

 

Yes, he is the son of Dean Kirkland, who was a UW offensive guard and an all-conference player

three decades before him, so state boundaries weren't going to dictate where the younger Kirkland played.

With Ulofoshio Fully in the Mix, Will UW Defense Become More of a Stopper?
 

Linebacker Edefuan Ulofoshio — who just might be the most talented player among this collection of Husky defenders

and a solid NFL prospect some day— came off his year-long injury absence last week to get a taste against Oregon State

and should be ready for extended duty and maybe even a starting assignment on Saturday afternoon against Oregon.

 

Ulofoshio's return and the timeliness of it can't be understated. His absence 12 months ago was one reason the Ducks ran

at will on his teammates.

 

He's someone who's piled up 18 tackles against Stanford, 16 against Oregon State and 14 against Utah n his career.

NFL scouts see a little Bobby Wagner or Mike Singletary in him.

Ducks set to face nation's most prolific passing offense on Saturday

 

Oregon's secondary will be put to the test this weekend. In many ways, it'll be the toughest yet in Pac-12 play.

No team in the country throws the ball more than the Huskies or for more yards.

 

Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. attempts nearly 45 passes per game for nearly 360 yards per game. The Huskies

are among the best nationally in completing explosive passes and in converting third down passes as well.

The Huskies rank 16th nationally in pass efficiency on third down, a credit to quarterback Michael Penix Jr.,

and have converted 27 of 40 runs on third-and-three or less, one of the best rates in the country.

No. 25 Washington enters Saturday’s rivalry matchup ranked 79th in pass defense (237.8 yards allowed per game), its worst since 2014.

 

Most striking is that the Huskies (7-2, 4-2 Pac-12) have given up 15 passes of 30-plus yards already this season, nearly as many as the prior three years combined (18) and 104th nationally. UW has allowed five passes of 40-plus yards allowed compared to six since 2018 with none in its prior 16 games.
