Oregon Ducks Top UCLA in Los Angeles 42-30
Offense and Defense. The Oregon Ducks have had their share of foundation cracks this season on both sides of the line. However most of the problem on Offense has been due to injury. The team managed a win several weeks ago against Washington State on the road against the top passing Quarterback Connor Halliday at the time and now must face another talented QB in Brett Hundley. Last season it was no contest in Eugene as Oregon won. This year may be different.
The Oregon Ducks are not nearly as crisp as they were last season and that has led to cracks in the foundation that seem to be growing larger each week. This week Oregon will welcome back a big piece on the Offensive Line as Jake Fisher returns from injury. If Oregon can close those holes they will have a chance to redeem their season and remain in the hunt for a berth in the College Football Playoff. Both teams are coming off a loss last week and it is equally important for the UCLA Bruins to earn a home win to stay in the hunt.
Keeping in mind through the last two games there have been twenty two sacks allowed between the Ducks and Bruins and it is clear the team that plays better up front will have the advantage. The losing team will likely find themselves out of the College Football Playoff.
