Opponent Preview: Oregon’s Offense

Averaging a whopping 455.1 yards per game, the Oregon Ducks field one of the best offensive units in the PAC-12 behind only Washington State, whose famed air-raid attack has averaged 516.8 yards per game in 2019. The good news? Utah’s defense contained WSU to a season-low 13 points and 252 total yards, suggesting the Utes can shut down even the most prolific of offenses. The bad news? Despite ranking lower statistically, the eye test suggests Oregon’s attack is much more balanced, efficient, and anchored by some of the best talent in the West Coast.

Anybody who has paid any attention to PAC-12 football over the last year has undoubtedly heard of Oregon’s Justin Herbert.
