  •  Date: Saturday October 17, 2015
  • Time: 10:30 PM Eastern
  • Location: Pullman, WA
  • TV Channel: ESPN2
  • Spread: Washington -2
  • Over/Under Total: 58.5

Oregon needs this win just to salvage their season, and brand. Coming off a national championship appearance last year, the Ducks find themselves fighting for a .500 record.

Meanwhile, the Huskies are coming off a huge win at USC, and seem to be a legitimate threat with their defense. They also come off of two extra days of rest, and with Ducks coming off a double overtime game, they certainly have no advantage there.

Oregon’s offense has struggled since Vernon Adams has been out, and Washington’s defense has been lights out all season long. While the Husky offense has struggled, even more so than Oregon’s, the defense has been able to mask that.

This should be a low scoring game for both teams, but Oregon’s defense, and their secondary is a complete disaster, which is where Washington will be able to take advantage.
