The defense has been solid all season, allowing just 21 points per game. Oregon was dominated from start to finish the entire night along the lines of scrimmage and even gave up a kickoff return to the Utes.
But keep in mind that you need a cable-login subscription. Utah is a 3-point favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook , and on the moneyline. The Ducks missed two field goals, suffered two turnovers on downs and punted once on their other five trips across midfield.
Oregon's lone score came on a yard completion from Anthony Brown to Devon Williams on a possession that never reached the red zone.
So the Ducks, technically, ended the game 0-for-3 on red zone trips. It's hard to believe they will be so inept this time around. Special teams matter: In addition to the two missed field goals, Oregon also allowed Utah punt returner Britain Covey to run a punt back 78 yards for a touchdown on the final play of the first half. The play set off a frenzy inside of Utah's Rice-Eccles Stadium and sent the Utes to the half with all the momentum.
Establishing the run is a matter of physicality that is difficult to manipulate. But special teams blunders and red zone failures are matters of execution and focus that Oregon will need to correct in order to have a different outcome in the rematch.
Date : Friday, Dec. Oregon won't be the bumbling wreck that it was when these teams met the first time. But it's fair to wonder how motivated the Ducks will be for this game. It's a "been there and done that" spot for Oregon, which has won the last two Pac title games.
For Utah, this is a chance to reach a new frontier as it strives for its first conference championship game victory. Look for Utah to be the more physical team, conquer the turnover battle and win a game that will be close until late in the fourth quarter.
