Freshman Quarterback Justin Herbert has shown he can run the Oregon Ducks Offense. In just two games you can see the giant step he has taken from the loss against Washington to a near win against Cal on the road. His six touchdowns against the Golden Bears tied for most Touchdowns in Oregon History with the likes of Marcus Mariota, Dennis Dixon and Danny O’Neill.

Arizona State will do their best to get to Herbert, who can’t panic in the pocket and needs to go through his progressions. Tempo established early by the Oregon Ducks can help for the team to set the tone for the game and ultimately assist their young Quarterback to manage what he sees through the game.

The Oregon Offensive Line has grown as the season has progressed. The team made strides in the loss last weekend at Cal and needs to get a good push off the line on Saturday against ASU to find success.
