The vibe inside Autzen Stadium last Saturday was much different than some of the Ducks’ previous home contests this year. After 777 yards of offense and a formidable performance from its defense, Oregon walked away with its first Pac-12 home win of the season. The win marked the Ducks’ third in a row and also made the program bowl eligible for the 11th consecutive year – a contrast to the place many thought the team would be headed after it opened the season at 3-3. It is why defensive backs coach John Neal said he’d be lying if he didn’t view the win on Saturday as a milestone. “We got destroyed against Utah,” Neal said after the game . “To be where we are, I’m grateful, I’m relieved.” But Oregon’s next test may truly indicate just where Oregon exactly is. No. 7 Stanford, its quarterback Kevin Hogan and Heisman candidate Christian McCaffrey pose a threat unlike the Ducks’ defense has faced in a while. But it is a brand of football Oregon is more than familiar with, as the matchup between speed and physicality has always played a key role in each team’s season. With Oregon’s offense appearing to look the way it is advertised, the matchup expects to be a much tougher test for Stanford’s defense than it would’ve been a month ago.

The numbers have continued similar, and leads the nation in average time of possession, holding the to steadily increase each week as Adams becomes more ball for 35 minutes, 16 seconds per game.

Bralon Addison leads the Ducks in receiving yards this season and will likely make a large impact against Stanford.. (Adam Eberhardt) OREGON VS. STANFORD ➡ CHRISTOPHER KEIZUR, @CHRISKEIZUR

The top two teams in the Pac-12 North are set for a showdown this Saturday, as Oregon travels south to Palo Alto, California, to face No. 7 Stanford. The Ducks (6-3, 4-2 Pac-12) come into the game on the heels of a 44-28 victory over California, a game in which they seemed to finally get things back on track. Oregon overcame a slow start and an early turnover to put up 777 total yards of offense — the most in program history. The Cardinal (8-1, 7-0 Pac-12) have been just as impressive since its week one glitch against Northwestern. Since that early loss, Stanford has gone undefeated, most recently beating Colorado 42-10.
