Washington football looks to take down the top-ranked Pac-12 team in the country in Oregon. Will it have enough firepower to get past the Ducks?
Washington has had an up and down season thus far through the first seven games of the season. With big wins against a ranked USC team and an offense that has been able to move the ball at will at times, the expectations for the Huskies have been sky-high.
Now the Huskies host the Oregon Ducks who have climbed all the way up to the No. 12 team in the country, leading the Pac-12.
The Huskies have leaned on the junior quarterback Jacob Eason after his transfer from Georgia and moving back home to his home state of Washington. Throwing for just under 1,700 yards and 13 touchdowns through the air, Eason has lifted the Huskies to a 5-2 record.
Oregon is coming into their road matchup as three-point favorites and has won five straight games after losing their opener to Auburn. After the Ducks loss to Auburn, star quarterback Justin Herbert has looked every bit a part of his NFL talents. With 17 touchdowns and only one interception, Herbert has put up a great senior campaign.
Washington is looking to slow down Hebert and the rest of the high-flying Oregon offense. The Ducks are coming off of a huge win against Colorado at home where they boat raced the Buffaloes to a 45-3 win. The Huskies could turn their season around and challenge the Ducks for a Pac-12 title if they win on Saturday.
Here are three things the Huskies need to do in order to win on Saturday.
