Heading into Pullman this Saturday, the Ducks should once again feature a variety of ball carriers in the offensive game plan.
On today’s episode of Locked On Ducks, I look at some of the players who are poised to stand out this weekend against Washington State.
Offensively, names like Dont’e Thornton could be poised for a breakout offensive performance—but even with Bo Nix’s ability to spread the ball around, there are a lot of talented players in the Oregon receiving corps.
Defensively, WSU doesn’t pose the same challenges it used to under Mike Leach, and the Ducks’ defense is coming off a strong showing against BYU.
The Ducks are hoping that defensive performance can travel. Who might be poised for a breakout performance on that side of the ball for Dan Lanning’s defense?
