The Oregon Ducks and Stanford Cardinal meet on Saturday in a game that may not mean as much as it would have at the beginning of the season. There are still plenty of reasons to pay attention to the Ducks and Cardinal. Mark Helfrich may be playing for his job in the last three games, but it only makes sense that every team has a season like this one – some more than others.
Stanford and Head Coach David Shaw have delt with injuries this season, including one to Star Running Back Christian McCaffrey. The Ducks know this all too well with a similar fate to Running Back Royce Freeman. The Ducks also have a new Quarterback who seems to have found his feet in Justin Herbert and a very young Offensive Line.
What will we get from Freeman on Saturday – on what could be his final game at Autzen Stadium. He is a Junior but may forgo his Senior season for the NFL. Will the Oregon Defense show up in any form? Like I said, there is a lot to look for.
