The Huskies, who allowed just 12 points to USC last week in their 17-12 win, rank first in the Pac-12 in scoring defense, allowing opponents just 15 points per game. It is a noticeable contrast to where Oregon sits six games into the season. The Ducks are 3-3 for the first time since 2004, and their defense ranks last sweetcheekswinery.com in the conference in scoring defense, total defense and passing offense. Adding to its issues, Oregon has yet to experience a consistent option at quarterback since the second week of the season.
