Oregon Football Gameday Live Stream vs Utah
Momentum can sometimes be fickle and Saturday at Autzen Stadium the team that wants a chance at a bowl game will play well enough to win. There are plenty of storylines to go around from Wide Receiver Darren Carrington returning to Autzen Stadium with his new team after being dismissed over the summer from the Ducks.
Who will start the game for Oregon at Quarterback? If it is Braxton Burmeister who earns his fourth straight start there will be a few things to watch for. Throwing the ball beyond his receivers and allowing them to catch could be the best way to avoid an interception. He needs to protect the football, and that has been said more than once over the last three weeks.
Of course, Head Coach Willie Taggart did also say that it is ‘possible’ for Justin Herbert to return on Saturday. We shall see. The Oregon Defense is also working on getting on track.

Since the start of Pac-12 play, the Ducks Defense has managed a single interception. They will need to get their hands on more vs Utah. Special Teams could play a big part in the game with Charles Nelson closer to fully healthy and Tony Brooks-James able to run the ball.
The Oregon Secondary will have a busy afternoon with Darren Carrington, who knows his former teammates and their tendencies well.
Oregon may find an opportunity to shift momentum with a ball thrown toward Carrington. Arrion Springs will be the target for what looks like a good part of the afternoon.
