The Oregon Ducks football team has put themselves in quite the hole and the dig out has officially started. Last weekend Mark Helfrich watched Quarterback Justin Herbert have another good game and the Ducks Defense showed they can step up to the plate in big moments with two key interceptions. The National Championship is not in the cards this season, but there is still plenty to watch for. The Ducks will play three of their final four regular season games on the road starting with USC on Saturday.

The Trojans season did not start well but USC has won four of their last five It has been the opposite for Oregon losing four of their last five and picking up their first Pac-12 Conference win last weekend against Arizona State. The big question for Oregon is can the team put together a complete game on the road against a tough Defense giving up just 24 points per game and which Royce Freeman will show up?
