What A Difference a Week Makes, Oregon Favored Big Over Wyoming
Last week in the showdown of the year for the non-conference slate in 2014, the Oregon Ducks were at home at Autzen Stadium and favored by eleven points. Oregon beat the Michigan State Spartans 66-27 on Saturday. The week before to start the season the opponent was South Dakota. I could not find the game listed anywhere when it came to a betting line, but Oregon took care of business against the Coyotes winning handily 62-13.

Last week the Oregon Ducks starters found themselves playing the first full game of the year in the second week of the season.
On Saturday, will the story be the same? Or will Quarterback Marcus Mariota give way to backups across the board in the second half. It is as important that your starters get reps in a game as it is for newer players.
The Oregon Ducks take on a 2-0 Wyoming team this week at Autzen Stadium to wrap up their longest homestand of the year. Kickoff is set of 11am Pacific Time on Pac-12 Networks.
