EUGENE - As if keeping Washington big guns Jake Browning, Myles Gaskin and Aaron Fuller in check isn't enough to ask, Oregon coach Mario Cristobal wants the Ducks to rein in something else:
Their emotions.
The No. 7 Huskies (5-1, 3-0) play Oregon (4-1, 1-1) Saturday at 12:30 p.m. in Autzen Stadium (ABC/ESPN2).
A loss would make it difficult for Oregon to win the Pac-12 North, and that is just one of several reasons the Ducks have for making this personal.
This is one of college football's classic rivalries. For some UO fans, the Washington game means as much if not more than the Civil War.
