Over the last few weeks we have watched Charles Nelson get yardage, but not break a long run – that could change on Saturday. Nelson is a key weapon for Oregon both as a Wide Receiver and on Special Teams. It also seems that Head Coach Mark Helfrich has learned his lesson when it comes to points. You take them where you can.

Against Arizona State the Ducks connected on four field goals. Aiden Schneider has been the most accurate kicker in Oregon Ducks history hitting over 90 percent of his attempts. If the game comes down to a long field goal for the win, I would be willing to put my eggs in the Ducks’ basket.

Both teams still have a lot to play for. USC needs a win for Bowl Eligibility while Oregon needs a win to build on and three wins in their final four games to get to a Bowl Game.

Oregon and USC kickoff Saturday at 4pm Pacific Time on ESPN.
