Preview Washington at Oregon

The Washington Huskies go to Eugene
to face the number one team in the
country. Not a while lot to say otherwise 
really however this is it.

With Coach DeBoer moving to Alabama
and many Washington player either
leaving to the NFL or going into the
transfer portal new head coach Jed 
Fisch had to start over especially
on the offense.  The Huskies brought
in graduate student Will Rogers and
freshman Demond Williams Jr.. For 
some fans the blame has gone on
Will Rogers for the Huskies record 
of 6-5 heading into.this game. To be
honest it wasn't his fault for any of 
the losses.

Last week's game Rogers was benched
and Williams was inserted. We could 
say that he was the reason they won. 
We will know before the game which 
one will start on Saturday. Rogers has 
the experience and Williams is the 
future quarterback. The Ducks will 
be favored and if the Huskies win
it will be an upset no matter who
starts. 



The Oregon Ducks are ranked number 
one in the country with a 11-0 record.
They are averaging 33.91 points a 
game while giving up 15.73. They are 
ranked 17th in the country in scoring. 
Defensive is ranked number nine in 
giving up points. 

The Ducks average 166.3 yards rushing
a game. They have 22 touchdowns on 
the season while giving up 11 touchdowns. 
The opposing team average  118.70 
per game.

In the passing game the Ducks average
281.36 yards a game and has 22 touchdowns 
on the season. On defense they give  up 
168.82 yards a game and eight touchdowns 
on theseason.

Senior Dillon Gabriel is the Ducks
starting quarterback and has thrown
for 3,066 yards with the 22 touchdowns 
and six interceptions. He completes 
73.8 percent of his passes. On the
ground he has 155 yards and six
touchdowns.

11 yards.  Tez Johnson is Oregon

The Oregon Ducks are favored by
18.5 points. This will be quite
the upset if the Huskies win. 
The Ducks will play for the Big
Ten championship game  though
the team they play isn't decided
yet. The Ducks will want to win
badly for the previous three games
that were losses.
