5 Huskies Oregon needs to look out for in Northwest rivalry game

These five Washington Huskies might be the difference between an Oregon win and a UW upset in Eugene.

This is shaping up to be one of the bigger Oregon-Washington games in quite some time.

The Ducks are trying to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive and Washington would like nothing better than to crush those hopes. At 7-2 overall and 4-2 in conference action, the Huskies still have a chance to sneak into the Pac-12 title game next month.

Like Oregon, the Dawgs have been bolstered by a senior transfer quarterback that has played a lot better than originally thought. All of that should equal a good game.

Here are five different Huskies the Ducks will be sure to key in on as gameday preparations go on this week. If Oregon can hold down these five players, the good guys will go home happy and the Huskies can go back to Seattle with their proverbial tails between their legs.
