We been watching the same Oregon team this year? They are vastly overrated. I don’t think their offense is anything amazing. They honestly don’t make me super nervous. Not saying Utah wins for sure, but Oregon is nowhere near the 3rd ranked team in the country.
Winnable game, for sure. But it’s Oregon, and they are 9-1 (assuming they win tonight). They are talented, fast, and find ways to win even when they don’t look great.
It will be a tough game. However, Oregon is mostly one-dimensional. They must run to be successful. They have Dye and a running QB. They are very good at running. The Utes can both run and pass successfully. That is an advantage to Utah.
We need to stop so many boneheaded mistakes. They cost us big-time yesterday. I believe most of these are correctable. I suspect that the game will be very close and come down to which team wins the 4th quarter.
I remember a few years ago when we played @ Autzen. The Ducks ran to the edge every single play and we couldn’t do anything to stop it. Their speed was just too much for us. I have a feeling it’s going to be a lot of the same on Saturday.
