Ducks Wire Roundtable: Predictions, opinions for No. 9 Oregon vs. Washington State

Some predictions and opinions for the Oregon Ducks game against the Washington State Cougars in Week 8.

We new enter the second half of the season for the Oregon Ducks, and though the last week saw the first loss of the 2023 season come, every goal that Dan Lanning and his team had coming into this year is still very attainable.

A trip to the Pac-12 Championship Game? That can happen. A spot in the College Football Playoff? it could be in the cards if the Ducks can win out from here. With six games down, and six more regular season games to go, there is still plenty possible for this Oregon squad.

That starts this coming week with a homecoming game against the Washington State Cougars. Though it’s a matchup that has lost a little bit of luster after the Cougars dropped their last two games, it’s still one that will present a challenge for Oregon, with QB Cameron Ward bringing his unique rushing ability to Autzen to try and upset the Ducks.

To preview the action, Ducks Wire writers Zachary Neel and Miles Dwyer made predictions and offered opinions on what we might see.
