Suffocating Secondary
As of now it’s unclear if one, both or neither of BYU’s dynamic receiving duo, Puka Nakua and Gunnar Romney, will suit up on Saturday in Eugene.
BYU defeated a good Baylor team without them, but their presence will put even more pressure on Oregon’s secondary to perform. Oregon lost Mykael Wright and Verone McKinley from last year’s squad, and while Colorado transfer Christian Gonzalez was an excellent consolation prize, it’s still a position group that needs to prove its worth for coach Dan Lanning.
An excellent game against BYU, potentially with a turnover (or two) would go a long way toward assuaging some of those concerns while helping lead Oregon to a potential victory.
