It’s the Pac-12 football opener for both teams as the 13th-ranked Oregon Ducks host the number 18 Utah Utes Saturday night at Autzen. The Utes are 3-0, have their highest ranking since 2010 and they are a good team, but questions abound.
First of all, at quarterback.
Like the Ducks, Utah’s number one guy, Travis Wilson, didn’t play last week and is questionable for this week. Wilson landed hard on his right shoulder after a 38-yard run against Utah State and missed the Fresno State game. Like the Ducks, it didn’t matter. Kendal Thompson got the start, but top running back Devontae Booker ran for two scores and 156 yards while the Utes special teams and defense combined for three scores in the 45-24 win.
