Oregon’s success this year has a lot — A LOT — to do with the men up front on the offensive line. The Ducks can’t generate an effective run game, which is key to success against Utah, without a push from the fellas up front.

Likewise, Oregon’s defensive line will need to plug holes and generate a pass rush, otherwise Utah will move the ball effectively through the air or on the ground.

Both teams have very talented playmakers on offense, especially if Nix suits up, so this game will likely come down to which team can throw the opposing offense out of its rhythm.
