The Ducks and Utes face off with major playoff implications.
It's week 9 of the college football season and for No. 8 Oregon that brings a matchup against the No. 13 Utah Utes. And it's not just any matchup, it's a roadtrip to Salt Lake City and the Ducks will be under the national spotlight for the second time in three weeks.
Oregon's offense has looked solid all year, with the biggest exception being some fourth down failures in Seattle. The offensive line has looked a bit shaky at times in recent weeks, with some untimely penalties popping up and even stalling drives, forcing the Ducks to settle for three instead of six. That can't happen this week if they want to win.
Looking to the other side of the ball, Utah's offense looked like it found new life against USC. But so have most of USC's opponents. The Utes have actually had one of the weaker offenses statistically this year, only scoring 30 or more points three times against USC, Cal and Weber State--which may not be enough against a high-powered Oregon offense averaging 47 points per game.
