      Downvotes. On a related note to the post, offensive ranks (per F+) for the offenses I referenced in the post:

      UCLA – 13

      USC – 12

      Oregon – 7

      Feeling validated by being the most concerned about Oregon. In any event, some very tough tests. We will learn a lot about how good our defense really is in these games

      Our offense comes in at 11. Like I said before, we can still win these games, it will probably be a shootout. Despite how overrated I think they may be, I do believe that our defense is at least as good as any of those 3 teams.

      Offense HAS to show up though.

        Feels like a coin flip for the oregon game. Wish it was at home

          UCLA is a coin flip. USC will be a slight Utah lean. Utah will be an underdog in Oregon IMO

      Your points are very valid. Another thing to consider. Which is the sos of games played so far, per ESPN:

      Utah: 87

      UCLA: 119

      USC: 103

      Oregon: 13

      USC and UCLA have yet to really be challenged. I’d argue we are one tier above and have been challenged more than them with an opener in SEC land. I think we win these two games.

      Oregon on the other hand. They got the opportunity to play against the best team in the nation imo. Doesn’t help their head coach was part of that same team last year. And we are on the road. If we are going to drop another game this year, it’s going to be this one.
