Oregon football is 2-0 and that streak won’t stop against the Wyoming Cowboys. Here are five reasons the Ducks will move to 3-0 after a Week 3 win.
Willie Taggart will have the Ducks ready after their disappointing second half against the Cornhuskers a week ago. The Ducks came out and slaughtered Southern Utah 77-21. They turned around and put on a near flawless first half against the Nebraska Cornhuskers before the players seemed to throttle down after leading 42-14 at halftime.
Willie Taggart’s post game conversation with Bruce Feldman (per this weeks episode of The Audible) stated that Taggart was happy with the result but knows the players have to learn to finish their opponents off.
Oregon is playing with a new sense of urgency. Coach Taggart has the Ducks ready, willing, and able to win the Pac 12 North just one year after Mark Helfrich was let go amidst a 4-8 2016 season. What has changed? It seems as though the Ducks have a new-found passion for the game. They’re stronger, faster, and are playing more aggressively.
Herbert is a good quarterback with a sneaky athleticism and Royce Freeman is healthy and explosive. The defense has improved under Coach Leavitt and will continue to make strides. Add that to a solid freshman class and incoming 2018 class and Oregon is here to stay.
Here are five reasons why the Ducks will beat the Wyoming Cowboys on Saturday.
