The Oregon Defense has had a touch transition this season, and will need to step up on Saturday. Last weekend USC torched the Ducks Defense. Stanford will use Running Back Christian McCaffrey and he will find ways to pick up yards against the Ducks if they don’t play disciplined and in their lines. McCaffrey averages 190 yards per game with 122 yards on the ground in a season that has been a lot less McCaffrey-like.

Last season, McCaffrey blew open the Rose Bowl and could put on a show of his own against the Oregon Ducks on Saturday at Autzen Stadium. McCaffrey has led Stanford to 6 wins this season when he puts up over 100 yards. When he is under 100 yards, 3 losses. One player has shown throughout his career that he is that important to the success of his team.
