Every rivalry game has a lot on the line, but the stakes are particularly high for the Oregon Ducks in this game against the Oregon State Beavers on Saturday.
Not only is Dan Lanning at risk of losing to both the Beavers and Washington Huskies in his first year with the Ducks, but he could potentially miss out on a trip to the Pac-12 Championship Game should Oregon drop this game in Corvallis. While the Ducks arguably have the better team on paper, a lot goes out the window when you put two bitter rivals on the gridiron together.
How healthy will Bo Nix be? Can Oregon’s defense step up like they did last week against Utah? Will the Beavers’ defense be able to slow down a limited Oregon offense? We will have to wait and find out.
To help preview all of the action, Ducks Wire writers Zachary Neel, Don Smalley, and Andy Patton gathered to make predictions and offer opinions on what we might see.
Here is your final regular-season Ducks Wire Roundtable of the 2022 season. Enjoy.
