GAME Oregon Ducks (10-2) vs. Utah Utes (9-3) 8:00 PM ABC ET

As bad as their QB has been, I would be a lot more concerned with both lines if I was a duck fan. They were entirely dominated by Utah in both trenches. Stanford as well. And they had too many close games with just so-so line play to be considered on the doorstep of the next level.

USC coming in hot at the end of this recruiting cycle isn't going to help them as a few kids are rumored to be looking to reopen their commitment after riley joined USC. And they are likely having to replace their OC.

Sure, they have talent, but a lot of unknowns going into this off season.

The talent is there on the lines, just so many dumb mistakes. They struggled to play as a unit for big stretches this season.

Does Oregon still have a path into the CFP?

I mean on paper UW's O line was supposed to be the best in the conf going into this season. Sure, we can blame a lot on the coaching staff, but also at some point have to admit paper rankings don't win games.

Oh, I blame almost everything with UW's season on the coaching staff.

Really hope they don't trade defense for offense. DeBoer is supposed to be a top flight O guy, but we can't afford to lose our edge on the D side if we want to bounce back to a reasonable season next year. He's looking to bring some kids in with him on the O including his QB and at least one WR I've read about so far. The D does need some work as well and can't be neglected.
