As the Oregon Ducks fly into Tempe to face ASU football this weekend they bring a lot of momentum with them. First year head coach Willie Taggart has his team ranked 24th in the nation as conference play kicks off. After an uncharacteristically bad season in 2016 where they finished 4-8, the Ducks look to once again be a factor in the Pac-12 North.
After two wins at home, Oregon earned an impressive victory against Wyoming last weekend easily defeating the Cowboys and projected NFL first round pick Josh Allen.
Oregon has averaged 56 points per game through their non-conference schedule and a big reason for their offensive success has been senior running back Royce Freeman.
