Why Oregon Will Win
The team has found its groove at just the right time, and everything is clicking.
There was a fight against Washington, followed up by a survive-and-advance win over Washington State, but with blowout wins over USC and Arizona, the Ducks started to look the part again.
Arizona State has been miserable at just the wrong time, and everything is going down the tubes.
The defense has gone bye-bye in the four-game losing streak, the offense hasn’t been able to keep up any sort of pace lately, and a once-promising season is possibly two more losses away from an epic collapse.
What’s the biggest problem?
Mistakes.
The Sun Devils were air-tight when it came to turnovers over the first half of the season – giving away just five over the first six games – and then the giveaways started flowing with eight in the losing run.
Oregon is second in the nation in turnover margin.
It’s going to take a perfect effort for ASU to pull of the win, and it’s not up for it.

Why Arizona State Will Win
Jayden Daniels has to do something special.
It’s possible to throw on the Duck defense. Washington’s Jacob Eason, Washington State’s Anthony Gordon, and USC’s Kedon Slovis were all able to throw three touchdown passes against this group. They all lost – Slovis also gave up three bad picks – but that’s how ASU has to do this.
Throw, keep throwing, and hope Daniels can offset a suddenly shaky defense.
He’s been a bit banged up, but he came up with great games on the road against UCLA and Oregon State. The Sun Devils lost, but the offense worked. Daniels has to be great, the defense has to step up its pass rush, and …
It’s going to take something quirky.
How much do you believe in the Oregon second-half-of-the-season road clunker theory? For some in the investment community, this is a thing.
Oregon was rolling right along last year without much cause for alarm after a loss against a great Washington State team on the road, and then … Arizona 44, Oregon 16.
The Ducks lost their final three regular season games last year outside of the the state of Oregon, and lost their final four road games – including to Arizona State – in 2017.
This isn’t really anything that really matters, though, right? Ask those who dove in deep in 2013 when a powerhouse Duck team was hammered by Arizona 42-16 in Tucson.

What’s Going To Happen
The problem is that the Sun Devils just don’t have the offensive line to handle what the Ducks do up front.
The Oregon D line is too active, the run defense too strong, and the offense really just doesn’t make the big mistakes a struggling team like ASU needs.
Justin Herbert and the Oregon O will need at least a half to put this away, and it’s going to be a bit of a struggle, but the team will survive a 300-yard day from Daniels to keep the College Football Playoff dream alive.
