Oregon fans may not recognize many of the players on Arizona’s roster, but they’ll remember Jayden de Laura from his time in a Washington State uniform.

de Laura is having a solid campaign with the Wildcats, completing a hair under 63% of his passes along with 14 touchdowns. He also already has six interceptions, and has struggled to generate anything with his legs.

For the Ducks, strong performances on the defensive front and from the pass rushers should force de Laura out of his comfort zone – which could lead to a turnover or two.

Arizona has to play a near perfect game if they want to pull off an upset, even at home, and if the Ducks can force the Wildcats offense to make mistakes they’ll have a much easier path to victory.
