No. 9 Oregon seeks better execution vs. Washington St.
Washington State and No. 9 Oregon will both try to rebound from difficult losses when they meet in Eugene, Ore., on Saturday afternoon.The Ducks fell 36-33 at then-No. 7 Washington last Saturday as Camden Lewis' last-second, 43-yard field-goal attempt sailed just wide of the right upright.
Oregon coach Dan Lanning's play-calling came into question after the Ducks thrice failed to convert on fourth-and-3, twice in the red zone and once near midfield with 2:11 left in the game. The Huskies needed just two plays to score the go-ahead touchdown, as Heisman Trophy hopeful Michael Penix Jr. threw an 18-yard scoring strike to Rome Odunze.
