The Athletic has live coverage of Oregon vs. Washington in Week 7 college football action. Pac-12 game of the week. College football game of the week. However you label it, this conference battle between the Washington Huskies and Oregon Ducks should be worth the hype. In this battle of unbeatens, the Ducks will enter as the underdog for the first time this season.
What more could a college football diehard possibly want from a Saturday afternoon in October? You’ve got two College Football Playoff hopefuls in peak form, getting ready to go against one another for neighboring bragging rights. Each team brings a different style but much of the same production.
The statistics say Washington has the most productive offense in college football. The Huskies’ 569.4 total yards of offense per game is the most in the sport, which is a product of Heisman Trophy hopeful quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and his rocket of an arm. The lefty’s 1,999 passing yards on the season is second in the country only to Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders.
The Ducks offense is next in line with 557.8 yards per game. They are who they’ve been for the last decade or so — a speedy, big-play, quick-hitting kind of prolific offense that can score in bunches and get it done offensively in various ways. Bucky Irving and Jordan James make up one of the nation’s most productive rushing offenses (227.2 yards per game). Then of course there’s Bo Nix with 15 passing touchdowns and only one interception this season.
Oregon comes into this game with a better defense by the numbers, but it would be a surprise to see either offense being significantly slowed by the opposing defense. Expect fireworks.
