It should be a good day for the Oregon Ducks Running Game and Justin Herbert will continue to progress.

The Oregon Ducks will look to the Offense on Saturday against Arizona State. Quarterback Justin Herbert has grown into the position in just two games with the Ducks. Last weekend at Cal he threw for a Marcus Mariota-like six touchdowns, but a costly interception sent the team to their fifth straight loss. Mark Helfrich will again look to pick-up the pieces to earn the first Pac-12 win of the season on Saturday against the Sundevils.

Arizona State boasts the top Rush Defense in the Pac-12, allowing just under 100 yards per game on the ground. Oregon, despite the losing streak has the top ranked Rushing Attack in the Conference this season. Keys to the game begin with the Run Game for the Oregon Ducks, regardless of who starts.
