The Oregon Ducks will host another Pac-12 team on Saturday that will challenge their Secondary. The theme of the game will likely again be passing yards as the California Golden Bears come to Eugene to take on an Oregon team that has proven they can be road warriors this season. The Ducks have won three Pac-12 Conference games to get to 5-3 on the year. Cal has suffered some setback and comes into the game losers of their last three games. The Golden Bears boast the second best passing Offense in the Pac-12 averaging close to 340 yards per game.

Goff has had some struggles this season throwing for 22 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He recently passed the 10,000 yard mark through the air and he has some solid and talented Wide Receivers to throw the ball to. Height will be something to watch on Saturday, among other things. Oregon will counter with Quarterback Vernon Adams who has made plays with his legs and through the air for the Ducks since his return from a broken index finger. He has also found a new target in Darren Carrington. There is plenty to keep an eye on in this one. The winner becomes bowl eligible. The Adams-Carrington connection is where I will begin.
