The Huskies beat the Ducks in a classic in the regular season. Since that epic clash though, the Oregon Ducks seemed to get better each week, while the Huskies seemed to struggle almost every week. A College Football playoff spot and a possible Heisman Trophy could be decided on this one night.

Washington survived numerous close calls en route to an undefeated season, winning its last two games by five combined points. QB Michael Penix Jr. of UW, was responsible for 35 total touchdowns this season – perhaps UW has one last trick up their sleeve? The Huskies averaged 38.0 points per game (11th) and 468.1 total yards (12th). Of their passing yards total, 345.5 were second while 122.6 yards rushing were 105th; 45.8 percent of third-down attempts were converted (20th), and they scored at least one field goal on 84.4 per cent of red zone trips (66th).

Washington’s opponents averaged 23 points (48th) and 400.1 total yards (96th), including 265.2 passing yards (124th) and 134.9 rushing yards (42nd). During these games, Washington racked up 19 sacks and 15 interceptions; their opponents converted 40.6 per cent of third down attempts (86th), scoring at least one field goal on 82.5 per cent of red zone trips (6oth).

Oregon lived up to expectations this season, winning by an average margin of 32.2 points per game (26.7 against Pac-12 opponents). Quarterback Bo Nix became a Heisman Trophy frontrunner during Oregon’s six-game win streak, posting four straight 360-yard passing performances and 20 total touchdowns – not forgetting four defense performances that held four of Oregon’s last five opponents under 20 points each time out! Will Oregon get its revenge against Washington with an outstanding showing against UW? The Ducks averaged 45.3 points per game (2nd) and 541.1 total yards (2nd), including 351.4 passing yards (1st) and 1897 rushing yards (24th). On third down attempts they converted 52.7 percent (3rd overall), scoring at least one field goal on 85.7 per cent of their red zone trips (49th).

Oregon’s defense allowed 15.9 points (7th), 306 total yards (15th) per game and 214.3 passing yards (48th) and 92.6 rushing yards (8th) per contest, as well as 32 sacks and 10 interceptions against opponents who converted 33.3 per cent of third downs and scored at least one field goal on 81.8 per cent of red zone visits (55th).

The line seems big, but if you look at the way these teams have finished the season, it makes sense. Ducks continue to roll 45-28.
