Utah Football Opponent Preview: Oregon's Defense

The Ducks have looked shaky on defense in 2015. Can Utah exploit Oregon's secondary and pull off the upset?

This weekend, Autzen stadium will host a top-20 matchup between the no. 18 Utah Utes and the no. 13 Oregon Ducks. For Utah it is a chance to kick off conference play with a bang. Defeating the defending Pac-12 champs on their home turf in a nationally televised game would be a huge statement that this Utah team is a contender in the Pac-12 south. It won't be easy, the Ducks have one of the best home field advantages in all of college football with an overall record of 36-3 and an 8-1 record against ranked opponents since 2010 at Autzen.
