The last two games against Oregon had to feel great as a Husky fan. Not simply because they won the games after losing the previous 12, but the defensive dominance by the Huskies was a welcome change. Oregon had spent more than decade running through, around, and over the Dawgs with little resistance. Not so much in 2016 and 2017.
In 2016, the very same Justin Herbert the Huskies will face this Saturday, was starting his very first game for the Ducks. In 2017, injury forced him to sit and Braxton Burmeister could not do enough with his arm to keep the Oregon offense moving, and they scored just 3 points.
