Oregon Football returns home to host Washington State for another night game at Autzen Stadium.

Fans are certainly getting their share of Pac-12 After Dark this season, at least when it comes to the Oregon Ducks. Oregon enters this week with an undefeated mark in the Pac-12 North and after a six-week span of watching the Oregon Defense take fire, the Oregon Offense seems to have found their stride over the last few weeks.

Oregon Football will host Washington State at 7:30 Pacific Time on ESPN.

The Ducks Run Game was anemic early on but came back to life against both California and last week against Colorado on Friday night. The Ducks ran 25 times for over 250 yards averaging 7 yards per run as CJ Verdell ran for 171 yards becoming the Ducks first 100-yard rusher of the season. Travis Dye and Cyrus Habibi-Likio also saw key yards on the ground. Likio added three touchdowns and Wide Reciever Jaylon Redd came into the game as the Tailback and ran in for a score in a 45-3 win over the Buffaloes.

The storyline of the season so far is not the Offense, but the lights out effort by the Oregon Defense. They have given up just 17 points in Pac-12 Play and remains the only undefeated team in conference play entering this week.

With their win Friday night over Colorado, which seemed like an afterthought come Sunday, the Ducks moved up one spot to 12th in the latest Associated Press poll and are the highest-ranked Pac-12 team. Oregon enters the week facing a ranked Washington squad after the Huskies upset Arizona State on the road last weekend.

Washington State is 0-3 in the Pac-12 and will be hosting Colorado this weekend as they are in search of their first conference win of the year. Oregon Football visits 25th ranked Washington on Saturday at 12:30 pm Pacific Time on ABC.
